Can't believe how time passed so quickly; and I'm gonna be a fifth former next year. Glad,sad and scared at the same time, actually. Glad.......... because I would only have a year more to endure the hectic and unreasonable school system, (Yes, that's right. FREEDOM IS MINE!!!! No more squabbling teachers,hehe). Sad........ because soon my friends would probably be going to different directions then. And scared.......... because its gonna be SPM next year; not prepared yet (Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!).
But ok. No more talking about that. It just gives me the total headache and goosebumps. To be frank, I really had no idea to write about. Oh wait, I'd got one..........
It all started when I was just a Form 1. Not like someone I knew that has her mother to fetch her to and fro from school everyday (like my dear husband,blek), I had to walk to school everyday with my daughter,except weekends of course. Walking along the path way, neither shine nor rain, not bothering my langsat skin getting darker and darker each day. My mum blamed me for not bringing my umbrella. Well, I did, really; but I was lazy enough not to use it. As I was passing by, I came across too many peculiar incidents that many people might not come across in everyday life. So, I can consider myself lucky, I guess.
The disgusting stuff incident.
1. I saw a dead bird,a dead mouse and a dead cat before; really in an awful condition. It was
something like CSI stuff, just that you could see the really eeky internal organs. The culprit is
hard to identify because there are only tyre tracks involved.
The hard-to-forget incident.2. Can't believe I came across this kind of scenario before. I saw erm...... a lady without even a
strand of thread on her walking around while I was on the way walking to school. Luckily I was
quite far from her. I thought I need to wear spectacles when I saw it. But my mates saw it as
well. The stranger went into a car later on.
The annoying incident.
3. This happened more than once in every monsoon season. Some cars accidentally drive across
the puddles at a very high speed till it splashed right at us. Soaking wet,we can't do anything
but tried to walk faster in the heavy rain. No one say life is fair.
The unexpected incident.
4. Recently occured at a month or two before. A group of 'sekolah agama' kids played
firecrackers and unluckily; it landed on me. I didn't realise it at first till i smelled the
smoke because I was busy thinking about something. The fire power was strong enough to
make a small hole on my white prefect's shirt. Rather annoyed and angry at first. But I'd just
leave although my another friend of mine asked my to give them a long lecture. Waste my
energy;as if they would really take it seriously.
The almost accident incident.5. My neighbour's father was taking us to school by car and a unexpectedly, a motorcyclist
came towards our way when our car turning to the junction. Luckily, no one was hurt.
Unfortunately, the car was a little scratched and 'kemek'.
The might happened incident. 6. It didn't occur to me, and I'm extremely thankful. It was early in the morning about 6.35am last year. My next door neighbour was walking with her sister and they were followed by a male stranger. Panicked, they began to run till they reached the school guardhouse. The obscure stranger stopped chasing them and went away. Since then, we never walked to school in the morning. With dangers lurking in our area,we were only allowed to walk back home from school. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise.
Well, the road to success was never simple; especially when going to school........
