Ramahdan(s)
My family moved to Sengkang during the Ramadhan month in 1999. It was because we want to celebrate Hari Raya at our new home. I was in Secondary 3 back then.
I remembered when the first day, my sis and I headed to school, we have to leave the house before 5.30am so as we could catch the first bus of Bus Service No. 82. I still could not believe that we have to leave the house even before Subuh.
As Sengkang wasn’t that develop yet, we have to take a longer route to reach our school in Tampines. Bus No. 82 would stop us in Hougang area and we would take Bus No. 25 or 854 which would then stop at Bedok Interchange and then we would take Bus No. 69 which would drop us directly at our school.
So the bonus question was, ‘Since we leave before 5.30am to take the FIRST BUS, were we late?’. And my answer is – ‘Its either we reached school on the dot or we WERE LATE!!!’..
I have no idea how many demerit points I received but my form teacher, Mrs Norain Johari was nice as some thoughts of the far-distance and non-accessible area of Sengkang was taken into consideration. She even wrote in my report book to say I have make an attempt to reach school early when over the months or years, the number of time I was late, was reduced.
Anyway, till date, punctuality and I are not best friends.
Ps – This week has been the busiest period ever. I have no idea how much lack of sleep I am facing but the thing is, I am physically tired.
Ps Ps - I don’t know why fall in love when at the end of the day, you only face heart break? Why say love when you will leave one day? Love is complicated and why must ones heart suffer?
Ps Ps Ps – A lecturer of mine said that I have drop weight. Do I? Well, maybe.. Perhaps, because, it is fasting month. Also probably because I was so busy that I just don’t feel like eating when its break fast time. Even my grand aunt and aunties who went to my mum shop told my mum and all. And my mum did say to me that she do not want me to help her any more if I am not going to eat when its break fast time. Hmm, I just don’t know what to say.. Lol..
Ps Ps Ps Ps – Ya, in 2005 also during fasting month. I fainted in the NEL train while on the way for my attachment in Knight Frank. I was then taken to hospital – SCDF came and I was been wheeled on their ‘movable bed’ (ok, I don’t know what you call that) in Dhoby Ghaut station during the peak hours (those 8am timing). Only god knows how embarrassing it felt. Anyway, I went to the hospital, got few pack of drips, stayed in the A&E observation area for few hours and my sis and her then bf (which is now her hubby) and some cousins came to pick me up. But no worries people, I will not faint in the train again. Being skinny or thin doesn’t not mean that I am not healthy (ok, probably a bit).. Anyway, I am very cautious now. (By the way, I think I am just thin not skinny)..
Ps Ps Ps Ps Ps – Selamat Berpuasa People
