Good day gone bad

It's only 7.45pm but the sky is as dark as how it was during a storm. The Minister Of Education (Dr. Ng Eng Hen) came to my school today. He did a few round about in school, and paid a little visit to my class.

My class, Achievers, were really nervous. Especially our teachers, because we thought that he was going to "tour" our class, and ask us questions about our "home". But he did not, he received our greetings and before we knew it, he was out of the class, moving on with his tour in school.

We were a tad bit disappointed because we were prepared to "wow" him with our speeches of our efforts in making our class, a conducive and fun home. But oh well.


After school, Alex and I headed to the canteen. We sat with Shera and started on some class work. Then things went wrong.

Apparently a parked van with a sleeping driver inside, started moving, and "barged" into the canteen, colliding with tables, toppling the benches over. Fortunately, Shera screamed and the boys who were a breath away from the moving van, managed to get away with minor bruises. The driver got stuck in the van and only managed to leap out of it, with the help of his two friends. I think he injured his leg or something, I'm not sure.

But thankfully, no one got seriously injured, especially Jie Choong, Norman, Yao Quan and that sec 3 guy.


While writing the statement in the General Office, many teachers came forward with concern, but after being assured that Alex and I were fine, many cracked the same joke, that we now have a first hand experience and would benefit for both Oral and Compo.

The police came, and the incident is still under investigation.

Despite the trauma, Syafiq and I even crapped with the Police, asking if CSI and CRIMEWATCH was going to come to our school to carry out the cool investigations. hahha.


But at the end of the day, Shera's scream saved the day.

Sounds like some PowerPuff series!







On a serious note, this incident actually taught us a valuable lesson, which is, that no one can predict the future. It can be the next day, minute or even second, that you may lose a close one, or even your life. So thank the people around you, and God (if you're not an Atheist) for letting you live Life another day.


Which in fact boils down to the phrase in my profile "have you found joy in your Life? And has you Life brought joy to others?"

Cherish every single day, and thank your parents especially for letting you experience the joy of this world.


I hope everyone's fine, especially Shera and Nat. Do take care okay!


Love all.
