Story 1:
Every Chinese New Year, my family and I have to get back to Malaysia to celebrate with our relatives. Once, during the first night when we arrived at my grandparents’ house, my cousins and I went out in the night to have supper nearby (which is quite far since its quite isolated). I wanted someone elder to drive us there but my cousins insisted on walking there ourselves. Thus, we started our walk in the night along the dark roads (there are few lights in the road, not like Singapore where there is not really any dark areas). After walking for quite some time, we did not see any stalls in sight. It occurred to me that probably we were on the wrong track but my cousins assured me that we would be able to see the stall soon. However, as we continue on, the road gets more and more unfamiliar, we were lost!!! Someone suggested trying walking back the same old way we came from, but there’s no house in sight! Worse, we could not remember which way we turned from and all that. We also figured that since there were so many people in our grandparents’ house that our parents would probably think that we are in some other rooms and they would only realized our absence only in the next morning. We could not think of what ways to get back to the house so the best way is to stay there and wait till the next morning when there is light for us to recognize the road back. Thus, we cuddled together at the side of the road together, waiting for the dawn of the next day. =(

Story 2:
Once, my friends (Kris & Jac) and I were studying in the library for our upcoming common tests when suddenly, Kris had a nosebleed. Since there were only three of us, I stayed behind to look after our belongings and Jac accompanied Kris to the washroom to clean up. As I was worried for them, I decided to call them. To my dismay, none of them brought their phones along with them. When they are still not back after a long while, I stood up with the belongings, attempting to look for them in the toilet. Then, I saw Jac’s worried look as she rushed back to the place we were. “She fainted in the toilet! Help!” she said. I immediately rushed for the toilet. In my mind, questions were burning – if Kris really fainted, how could person B just left her alone and run back to inform me… I knew that something is strange. Asking Jac for the location of the toilet, suddenly, Kris appeared all right in front of me. Then, I realized that I was fooled. =(
