Its a... oh ya Wednesday today. So hows school? Alright its none of my concern anyway. Just got back from Mrs Chor's tuition class. Basically, its yet another typical Wednesday. Morning go school, sang the national anthem and school's song. Went back to class and so, begins the school's curriculum.
The clocks strike 1.20pm! Time for physics remedial. But before that, me and SweeHow was made to clean up the class (which was extremely dirty) because its our duty today. Hohoho the class seems so clean after that (me so pro right) =x Chiong-ed to physics lab for pratical. Kindda enjoyed it.

Realised that my EZ-Link card ran out of value + its raining heavily. Bo bian. Had to take 154 located just outside the school gate all the way to JP top up -.- "Happily" board 154 from JP again. This time, to Clementi for my tuition. The ride wasted 45mins of my life.
During the ride, i selected a fragment of my memory and started playing it. It was 11years ago.. those memories, the fear.. such vivid recollection of the past, left me in cold sweat.
It all happened like this. 11 years ago, when i was 5. I love to read. Especially books on animals and cartoons. Were so fascinated by all those stuffs. Going to the library with my parents were much like a weekly routine. You know, when we're young, our parents enjoys reading us books about those bad guys that go around kidnapping young kids making them work as beggars and etc. Most of us may think that, "hey that would nv happen to me one la. The probability of this type of case happening in SG is like 1 out of a million. Why me?" Yeah.. why me? It almost happened to me once.. i was so closed to getting kidnapped.. so close.. am i the 1 out of that million?
As usual, on that particular day, i went to the library with my mom. browse through a few books and selected a number of them to borrow home. In the past. theres this machine whereby if you want to borrow books, all you have to do is scan it together with your I/C. I remembered clearly that i was holding on to this book about "Sharks" LOL. Reading happily at one corner while my mom went to the machine. It was then when a man around the age of 25~30 approached me. Close to every word he said was left intact in my mind till today. "Boy, you alone ah?" (I stared at him) "Your parents around?" (I replied, "No") "Oh.. what book you reading? You know behind the library got a playground? You want go? Show u something very fun. Follow me." Alright, thinking back. I'm really stupid. I followed him. He led me to this door. Just above it wrote, 'EXIT'. I paused for a moment. Not knowing what EXIT means. (stupid me) At that very moment, i recalled a story that my mom once read to me. If i'm right, its called "Wendy (forget le)" Teaches us to beware of strangers. Suddenly felt damn scared.. not knowing what to do, i dashed back. Surprisingly, he didn't chase after me. Maybe cause he knows that by chasing me, will only arouse the suspicion of the people around. I managed to find my mom after that. I cried. She came to know about it and embraced me tightly in her arms. All that happened.. seem so.. story like. But it did happened. I always wondered, what if i followed him through the door? Would i still be here today. Everytime i set myself thinking bout this, i feel so fortunate. Fortunate that i am able to cherish every moment of my life today.
