Speech Day

Its a wet friday afternoon and I can vouch for how wet it is because i was under the rain for the longest time. Actually in real time, it was more like 20 seconds. But when I was running from my car to a place of shelter, it felt way longer than that. Wearing a blue long sleeved shirt and pants didnt help. I thought I had an umbrella at the back of my car where i could reach for should the rain decide to pour. I thought wrong because when I was finally happy with my parking, i turned around to find nothing there but my collection of teddy bears and hello kittys. oops I meant my sister's collection. Anyway, i figured I must have put it in the boot. I looked behind gauging the distance of the nearest shelter and I thought that the time taken for me to reach into my boot to search for my unmbrella and the time it would take for me to make a run for it wouldn't be that different. So i followed that gut feeling of mine and made a run for it. As soon as i started running, I knew I had made the wrong decision. The rain got heavier, my light blue shirt became much darker, my shoes were wet and my tidyly gelled hair was messed up. Then i discovered that the sole of my shoes had worn out so instead of running, i had to walk my way to that not-so near shelter.

That my friends was a presonal recount of my journey from the car to my office in school. I had to wear smartly because its speech day today and I have to help usher guests to the hall. Actually I dont think I am going to end up doing anything, because frankly there are so many teachers involved in ushering that if i were to take my job seriously I would look like over-zealous idiot. So i am just going to stand there and pretend to usher. Wait, Ill do something else. Ill look good doing it. He he.

Ciaoz. Usher time. (Not the soul singer)
