Days passed by with me living without Rehana and Aunty Minah.. It has been okay but an incident happened that I will never forget throughout my life.. I can't even believe it even happened... (This doesn't have anything to do with my kuz and aunt though there would be a diff. if they were here coz' I could share it with 'em... I usually talk a lot about my probs or worries or wadeva with Hana..)
It all started with my Design and Technology teacher being absent from school and my class being taken over by a clerk from the DnT department. The clerk was a guy around his thirties or forties.. He always seemed nice to me but not anymore... When he came to my class, he let us decide what to do for the three free periods that we had and our decision was to stay in class and do our own things... He was fine with it though he suddenly started to call people to the front of the class to talk about their ambition soon after everyone was moving around, chatting with friends..... (no one was listening to him.. we couldn't even understand what he said in the first place...) So, many sort of ignored him and others giggled at the sudden topic... He soon realised that no one was interested so he went around the class to see what each of my classmates were doing and after a while, he had asked three boys to stand on their seats with their hands on their head because they had been making noises. Other classes passed by my classroom and saw the punished ones and they were soooo "amused".. It was sooo obvious that the clerk was pleased with himself for punishing the boys as he "made others laugh".. He thought he was some big person... (I did not think this way about him at the actual moment but now I do as the incident After quite a while, this dnt guy let the boys down and continued to observe the rest of the class... He soon came to my friends(Frederick and Diana) and I. We were singing She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5 happily... Laughing and giggling along... But when he came, the three of us went silent almost at once which made us more giggly... What happened next was, the clerk sat down with us after Frederick, with an unknown reason, told him that we were doing our project. (Fred had a poem on history with him at that point of time and shove it towards the clerk.) After reading the poem, this clerk went and talked about the world war 2, about the killing of the chinese in Singapore and suddenly his topic jumped to the government and then foreigners living in Singapore, and HDBs and condominium... Throughout his meaningless "speech", Frederick, Diana and I were giggling... I am not sure of the reason till now... I think it was because of our giggling mood when we were singing or the clerk's pointless speech but definitely NOT because we looked down on him!) So this guy here suddenly talks about how gangsters would have misunderstood us laughing and bashed us up... And then he goes on to how well he brought up his children... And his "great great" life story... During his grandfather stories, Frederick and Diana were stepping on my foot which made us laugh much harder... And all of a sudden, this clerk jumped to his clever clever conlusion that we looked down on him and were laughing at him. Frederick immediately stood up for us and said that we were not looking down on him at all but the guy thought he was the cleverest person on Earth and stuck to his conclusion. He was practically shouting about how he brought up his children, one of them was already working or sumthin and the other taking pure science... He was so IRRITATING.. I tried to tell him again that we were not laughing at him but he didn't care... He went on and on and it was so obvious that his voice was cracking and could break down any minute though he didn't.. (THANK GOD...) When Diana tried to tell him that we weren't laughing at him, he cut her short and shouted to the whole class to return to their seats... The three of us felt very very irritated... How could a person just jump to a conclusion without knowing the truth..?!?! The clerk went on to lecture the whole class about how "we didn't know how to respect our elders...." how "he was in the same position as our operation manager and not just a clerk in the school..." He was telling us all sorts of nonsense... He said just because he wasn't a teacher doesn't mean we didn't need to respect him... The rest of the class probably didn't have any idea what was going on except for those who heard him shout... The three of us were VERY fed up.. Especially because he ACCUSED us FALSELY.. and spoiling our fun, joy and laughter... We were having fun singing our favourite song but the happy moments were all DESTROYED! The dnt guy said that he would remember our faces.. O wow.... Many ppl remember our faces and all of them like us except for him!!! kkz.. i'm sorry if i've been a lil' bit harsh on this post but it is really frustrating to be falsely accused.... My day will be spoilt if I come across him during school again... n tat's about it... buaixz! 10:37 AM |
