The Snake

I still can remember how my heart was thumping so wildly in trepidation when I saw that slimy rubbery thingamajig in my locker that day. ok, not quite so MY locker. Our shared locker then. Mush Sharon and I.

My locker, as usual, was very full and things were already on the verge of spilling out. I had to like dig and attempt to make some room for the stack of papers, and as I was doing so, admist the files, books, Marks And Spencer's Biscuits, Table Tennis rackets, I saw a thick, black, rubbery slimy coiled up thing behind the PW file. I was shocked and my first thought was " SNAKE!" and wasted no time in taking a step back. I must have been at least a metre away from the locker.
Oh and u know what?I didn't scream la. Not that I didn't want to, I just couldn't. I was too shocked to even open my mouth. I just stood there, staring straight at my locker. And no, I'm not exaggerating. Its THAT scary, esp when u least expect a snake to be lying in ur locker. Think: how can a snake even get into the locker. I was too shaken to even think how it'd be poosible.

It was only after I regained my composure after a min or so, that I called out to Kumar who was also at his locker near mine, somewhat oblivious to all the trauma that I had just been subjected to.

" uh eh....I think there's a snake in my locker."
" huh?" (expected reaction)

Kumar peered in, and decided to use whatever he was holding to poke at that awful black coiled up snake.Very cautiously.
I know it sounds really silly (and not that I wish to say, bimbotic), but at that pt of time, I was thinking to myself, the snake better not attack Kumar, because if he gets hurt or what, I'd be held responsible.

"its rubber".

Phew. I was so relived, but still equally traumatised.

Oh wells, I confronted Sharon later on, telling her how badly that long rubber TOY snake had scared the shit out of me, and she denied that she had anything to do with it, and that it was Mush's. And of coz, I did complain to Mush the next day.

Thats what happens when u try to save 8 dollars and share a locker.argh.



Oh and my friend had a fine time in the library. =)

Buffet dinner (Grandma's birthday dinner) at Auntie Anne's place on Sunday was great. Good food. (duh the food was good, I chose them! Mummy kindly gave me the honour of selecting those buffet dishes). No prizes for guessing the dishes on the buffet table. (if u noe what my favourites are). I actually pigged out like nobody's business that day.

This was what made me feel better, and less guilty.

Me (to my sis): eh we go jogging tomorrow ok?

My sis: (enthusiastically) Okok!Burn off those calories.

Me: Must wake up early ah. Cannot oversleep!

This, I reckon, is just a form of consolation in itself. Probably to make us feel LESS bad about eating so much.

WHY?

As expected we woke up late. very late. Jogging? What jogging? Its close to lunch!

Back to the dinner that night, I actually karaoke-ed with Rei and Sarah. haha. well, not surprising, since I believe I can sing. haha its just that I'm shy. awfully shy. thats why I never like to sing in front of my friends.

Just digressing a little, the cocktail almond jelly was so good. I just hope I dun get addicted to it like Amanda!.


OK bye.

I think our sch's quite cool to actually engage barbers. It was really funny seeing how agonized/traumatised those poor blokes were after having their hair cut. And no, I'm not gloating over their predicament or whatever, I just think that our sch's quite cool.

Oh wells, oh wells. Thats all for now.
