My goodness, how many weeks have passed withput me updating my blog? Forget it, I shall just go straight into my post for the day! I sure have loads to talk about! Hmmmm..... let me give mention to the beetle first yah? Ok, for your information this happened like ages ago, say about two weeks? Nah, probably a week and a half. Anyway, the story goes like this. The Sec Ones to Fours were all assembled on the track that fateful morning. However, nobody in the least expected that something terrible was about to befall register number 6(Hui Zhen), 35 (Xi Shi), 36 (Me), perhaps 37 (Delphine) too, can't remember the exact details. Oooops. Back to the topic. So, we had just finished pledging our loyalty to St Nicks and Singapore, before proceeding to the prayer part. Lo and behold, what did we see when we did a 180 degree turn? Our little "friend", Mr Beetle (aiya, Heavan knows what gender that creepy crawly was!). Obviously, there were feelings of shock and perchance a trace of disgust. All throughout the prayer, we were unable to concentrate due to the rather unwelcome presence of Mr Beetle, I mean who knew when he might start on a journey around our shoes and make his way up our legs? Pushing that horrifying thought out of our heads, we tried to refocus but of course failed badly. A while later, having said the prayers and usual formalities, the whole school was made to sit down. Now, the class right in front of us was 1 Justice. Some of the girls in that class were doomed to oblivion, not having the slightest knowledge that a beetle was right smack behind them. What took place next is everyone's guess. Well, guess no more for I will provide the answer. One of the girls sat down and almost squashed Mr Beetle flat, there and then, Xi Shi let out a yelp. Everbody within earshot stared, stared and stared. I gave a gasp of horror, which I hope wasn't too loud. After recovering from the initial shock, we informed the girl that she had nearly become a murderer. Naturally, the news made her inch away from the accursed beetle. Who wouldn't, right? Putting the art of torture into practice, Xi Shi started throwing stones at the beetle! We cheered her on, rejoicing in the fact that we could finally have a taste of oh-so-sweet revenge. Blame it on the beetle for making such an unwarranted and uncalled for appearance! I suggested throwing a stone at its head, hoping that this would knock the dying beetle out and he would soon be on his way to a road of no return (btw, the beetle was already overturned and about to die when we saw it). What fun we had, watching the beetle try to fend off all the blows unsuccessfully. Awwwww, then it was time to be dismissed and head back for lessons. I recall telling Hui Zhen that the possibility of the beetle being stepped on were sky-high. We giggled, not knowing that my "prophecy" was indeed true. We walked back to our original position. Mr Beetle with his protective shell ripped neatly into half and insides all exposed, was as dead as a doornail. What a horrible way to end your last moments on Earth! For a milisecond, I kinda pitied the beetle, but the feeling lest as soon as it came. Hz and I reasoned that it would have to die someday and why not let it happen in the St Nicks? An honour, I would say. We walked back to class, trying to forget the torn and broken body of Mr Beetle. (My next post is going to be anout Foo Si Yun's first-degree chemical burn, stay tuned!)
