A Little Mischief
The school organized a prefects' camp during the weekend. I was on the night shift duty on the first day which is Friday and got home at 0130. My shift was supposed to end at 1130. There's an interesting story to it.
The camp was a good opportunity to be closer to the students. I'm teaching 8 out of the 10 Form 1 classes so I knew most of the prefects who are on probation. It was a wonderful experience mingling with them. Missed the old days. I told Fh that coming together with the students at events like this made me realized how much I enjoy being a teacher. To be there, to sit down and chat, melayan peel buruk dorang, sembang with other teachers; as an activity out of the normal working hours is when everybody's letting their hair down.
Back to the story.
It was approaching midnight so I decided to leave too. Then there's these two senior prefects konon-konon nak escort me to my car lah. We sat down, listened to the radio and chat for a while more. Suddenly the both of them said they wanted to go home (most of the students and teachers' house are nearby the school). I said ok. They were shocked as it was like a wish coming true. They wanted to get their handphones. Unfortunately the guard on duty that night was the strict one. Still we braved it. The both of them had to bend hard against the seats of my car. They had to really ducked down to avoid being seen. Lepas. Coming in is another thing later, but still I let the worrisome thought passed. Their houses were less than two mins drive away.
Along the way, they still couldn't believed I can be such a good sport. Am I? heheheee... I merely told them I was a student once myself, so I guess what harm can come out of handphones right?
After mission was accomplished, we headed back to school. I had cold feet but played it cool. I didn't even dare to wave to the guard as I made my entrance. Takut seh. hahahaaa... and I knew in order to avoid suspicion I cannot just drive out again. I had to linger on for at least an hour or two.
After supervising the students to bed, lights off, thank goodness our Students' Affairs Senior Assistant wants to go back, so I trailed her car to the gate. I knew the pakcik guard was eyeing my car suspiciously whilst unlocking the padlock.
It was an adventure nonetheless. A little mischief.
On Saturday, I dropped by the school again to watch the Explorace. The students were pestering me to stay on for the BBQ alas, I already have plans for the evening with the girls. The kids had quite a time teasing me each time I was busy texting on my phone. Fh was at the hospital visiting a friend and has a birthday party to attend later in the evening too. I think ini lah tempoh yang paling lama we've not been talking due to the very long hours put at work.
On Labour's Day, most of Hotlink's user got a bundle of a thousand smses that must be finished by midnight. It was W.A.R. For the record, I spend 594 smses at the stroke of midnight. Nasib baik Fh is not a Hotlink subscriber. heheheee...
I didn't jammed my fingers nor my phone as predicted by some really mean people. heheheee...
Alhamdulillah, I'm back to good terms with Nr now. It meant a whole lot to be talking to her again. We made use of the sms bundle to catch up on stuff we've been missing for over a year. All I can say is I'm very, very thankful to get her friendship back.
