A shameful experience!

Sigh... Abdul Rahman's death is sad enough, and most of the Form 4 students who know him are still down in the dumps. It is indeed difficult to swallow the fact that one of the figures of your life is gone forever so suddenly. His death was published in one of the Malay newspapers, and also in its website. I took the opportunity to save the article as a remembrance.

Nevertheless, something that I've dreaded really happened to me at last! This is by far the most shameful experience yet. At around 6.30 p.m. I was revising the subject of History when I suddenly fell asleep. I slept for about an hour when I abruptly woke up and found that it was 7.30! I thought the sky seemed unusually dark, and my room lights were off. I jumped out of bed, thinking that it was already Thursday morning and that I was terribly late for school! I thought I overslept so I went to grab my uniform. While I was taking my uniform, I saw that my father was busy filing some of his documents and that my mother's car was not at the porch! I felt devastated and at the same time confused, because my father seemed indifferent. I was really muddled at that time, and I didn't know what to do.

When I was changing, I felt something was wrong. If I had overslept, my mother would have woken me up much earlier. How could she have left without me? Besides, my father would have been surprised to see me in the house. But he wasn't. How could my parents be so heartless? Something was definitely wrong. I couldn't find my watch, and my clocks don't show me whether it was a.m. or p.m. So I fumbled around for my handphone and looked at the time. It says 1930 hours. 7.30 p.m.? Then it must still be Wednesday evening, and I was changing into my uniform! Gosh! I nearly told my father to hurry up and fetch me to school! My mind kept telling me that it was Thursday when it is actually still Wednesday!

Quietly, I changed back into my normal clothes and put aside my uniform, feeling extremely ashamed, uneasy and uncomfortable. Somehow, I was still skeptical so I went downstairs to confirm the date and time on my computer. It shows Wednesday, August the 10th 2005 and the time is 1940 hours. Boy, was I relieved!

Then light dawned on me. Of course! My mother's car is not back yet because she's still working. She'll be back in a few moments. Silly me, I thought that she's gone for work. Haha...

I just hope that this silly antic of mine doesn't become reality some day, and especially NOT during examinations!
