Sorry for the late work!
Week 3's Compo: A misunderstanding
"Janis, do sleep early. We are leaving tomorrow at seven o'clock sharp,"announced dad.
I had forgotten! We were in China for our two-week
vacation and it was the last day, the last night in China. We were going to pack up and go tomorrow. Thinking of that made me feel reluctant as school was re-opening a week after. How I wished time passed ever so slowly that one minute equals to one day. Tears welled up my eyes.
We packed our belongings in our luggages and set our alarm before we went to bed. We were dog-tired after a hard day and ended up sleeping like logs.
"Ring! Ring!" goes the alarm. Us, except dad, slept right through the alarm. He lept out of bed and took a peep at the alarm when he woke us up.
"Girls! Wake up! Time to get going!" he exclaimed. We, too, peeped at our watches and discovered that it was indeed time for us to pack and go. We checked that we had all our stuffs ready at hand before we checked out of the hotel. Before we left, we had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant to have our breakfast.
We took a cab to the airport and checked in. Meanwhile, mum shopped for souveniers before boarding the plane.
"Singapore Airlines flight Sq806, from China, to Singapore, is ready for boarding now..."announced a voice over a speaker. Instantly, we knew our flight was ready for boarding now and headed towards the boarding gate to board it.
I played computer games while dad and mum read magazines. We also chatted about varieties of stuffs-our holidays, what we do, how we feel, etc. Chatting killed time and we soon discovered that we had arrived.
Out of blue, a feeling of reluctance over-whelmed me. I didn't feel like going to school as I was enrolled in a new class without the accompany by my friends. I thought I would be lonely all year but I still managed to crack a smile, a forced smile.
On our way to the arrival hall, shock engulfed me. A man, wearing sunglasses, grabbed the handbag of an old lady and fled. The old lady was shouting and chasing him, in a wild goose chase. Grabbing his leg, the old lady tried hard to grab her handbag but the man gave her a hard push and she landed on the ground with a loud thump.
"Stop the theif! Stop the theif!" I wailed. I failed to notice that they were just fliming as there are televison crews around.
"Hey guys! Why aren't you stopping the theif?" I shouted to the group of on-lookers. They just shrudded their shoulders. Suddenly, a man burst out to a loud laughter. Then, all others burst out laughing, including my family members, the theif and the old lady. Shock robbed me of speech when I discovered that they were Mediacorp artists. The "theif" explanied to me that they were just filming and we had another heartily laugh.
"Hey Janis, new friend!" shouted a voice, I think it must be two voices. I turned around and saw two of my new classmates, Sally and Joanne. They joked that I am indeed humorous.
"Janis, after we had started school, I will introduce my friends to you, there is Rachel, Mary, Sarah, Esther and so on..." explained Joanne. I was indeed grateful that they would introduce their friends to me.
I had just receive calls from my new friends and was looking forward to meet them. Re-opening of school wasn't so dreadful after all.
