UNLUCKY AFTERNOON

There were two mishaps that happened to me this afternoon. At around half past four, when Firdaus accompanied me to look for the roselle plant in the housing estate near our school, I had misjudged the distance of the road at the back lane and the drain and as a result one side of the tyre of my car went into the drain. Fortunately, two nice Malay men came to the rescue and helped me to lift my car up. Yes, chivalry is alive. But I also felt very embarassed. So malulah.

After that the two of us managed to get some plants and proceeded to go back to school to plant them in the herb garden. Unfortunately, when Firdaus was digging a hole, he hit a pipe and water started gushing out. Before I called Cikgu Shahidan, I got the help of two more boys who were around. Try as they could but water kept coming out. Finally, I managed to contact called Cikgu Shahidan and he was able to tell us where to switch off the water supply. He later came to see how we were doing and told us that he would get Encik Zainal to repair the burst pipe.
