Ah, yes. I was supposed to write today, but I sort of checked my email and the online stories I put on alert were updated, so, yeah, I read them all and my ideas for today’s post sort of went down the drain.

Enough rambling.

0715, Banat’s Area, School

Walked aimlessly as I listened to Hikmah’s report on one of those troublesome thing that happened lately.

Pendidikan Quran Sunnah exam will start in approximately 45 minutes. Too lazy to read notes.

0728, Ground floor, School

Put on my blazer and sauntered towards the ground floor. I had MMDL [Menjaga (?) Murid Datang Lewat] duty with Zaki-san today.

Entered the canteen to find a pipe leaking. Went to the school office and told Ustaz Saufi about it.

Sat on a green stool by the school entrance. Flipped open my PQS note book and read while I wait for the tardies.

Looked up when someone entered. It was Ali-san. Gave him an empty stare as he sat comfortably a metre and a half from me, a document box on his lap.

I resumed my reading. I suppose he’s filling in for Zaki-san.

As I scribbled the names of tardies, I piped out. "Where’s the MMDL file?"

"Upstairs."

"Oh. Didn’t find it when I searched for it."

Minute passed. Rashid-sensei-sama walked pass us with some maintenance tool in his hand. I gave him a salam and a respect nod.

I suppose he’s fixing the leaking pipe.

"What paper are you having today?" Ali-san asked.

"Huh?" I blinked at him. He repeated his question.

"PQS."

"When does it starts?"

"8." I glanced at my Kaede as he glanced at the plain clock on the wall.

The water leakage has stopped. Rashid-sensei-sama walked towards the office.

Duty was supposed to end at 0745, but Ali-san stood up at 0744, so I stood up as well. Walked towards the canteen and placed the stool where it belonged.

He walked up to me. "Can I have the names?"

"Sure." I handed him the paper I had used to jot down the name of today’s tardies.

0756, Haji Hassan Hall, School

Sat at my desk, armed with a black inked pen, impatient to answer the paper.

0800, Haji Hassan Hall, School

Pendidikan Quran Sunnah, Percubaan SPM 2007 officially started.

0945, Haji Hassan Hall, School

Head slumped on the desk. God, I am so bored! I nearly groaned. Stifled a yawn.

1000, Haji Hassan Hall, School

I went through the questions twice, tied my answer sheets together, put it on the top right of my desk.

Another 30 minutes to kill.

Slumped my head on the desk. Now what to do?

I grabbed my pencil. Doodled on my question paper.

1030, Haji Hassan Hall, School

Finally! Handed over the paper, literally bounced on my way out of the hall.

Saw Kak Raja, Kak Athirah, Kak Marhan, Kak A’isyah and Kak Shifa’ standing outside. Beamed. Chatted with those lot.

Physically, they haven’t changed. Kak Athirah and Kak Marhan wore rings. RINGS! On alert, I asked, "When did you guys get married?!"

Kak Raja insisted that she had became thinner. I suppose walking up and down the stairs everyday proved to be a waist-slimmer.

Kak A’isyah is still of the same height, though. Or does she seems to be a little shorter? I think I’m the one growing taller, haha.

1100, Form 2 An-Nasai’e, School

Walked up there for someone told me Hikmah wanted to see me. "What is it?" I asked the young girl.

"Are the plan still on?"

"What plan?" I stared emptily. Then I snapped. "Oh my God! I haven’t told Boss about it!" And I ran out of the class.

Big Boss was in the Computer Lab at that moment, practicing some lame nasyid with Ehsan and Vice Head 2. I signaled for him.

The slightly senile boss turned around to search for anyone behind him. I smacked my forehead.

I told him about our plan. "Can we proceed?"

"Sure." He nodded. "Have Ali informed."

I hunted for Ali, and told him of our plan to spot check Form 2. He nodded in comprehension. As I walked away, I heard him giving out orders to go fetch the Head.

I sauntered towards Form 2. "The plan is on?" Hikmah inquired.

"I suppose." I shrugged. "I told Ubaidah-san, and he told me to tell Ali-san, who then told someone to tell Ubaidah-san."

Hikmah giggled. "Later." I walked out of the classroom.

1130, Teacher’s Room 1, School

Mission was a success. The suspect was apprehended [lol] and the illegal articles were confiscated [again, lol].

I reported to the HEM teacher. She had her eyes as round as a saucer at our findings.

1145, Ground floor, School

I waited for Dad to pick me up. Form 5 could have gone back home right after exam, but I had to forfeit the plan in allowance for the mission to take place.

Walked to the office and nicked out today’s newspaper.

Wait… and wait… and wait…

1158, Ground floor, School

Dad showed up. I ran to the office and placed the slightly crumpled newspaper on the coffee table.

"Happy Aidil Fitri, everyone." I greeted them in the office as I whizzed pass. "Happy holiday."

Ali-san, Taslim-san and Kak Hasni merely stared.

1200, Passenger’s seat, Toyota Innova

"Allah!" Dad exclaimed at the nasty traffic. "The traffic light’s out of order!"

I glanced around. Sure, the traffic was congested. As we drove pass the Simpang Empat, I caught a glimpse of the ‘police traffic’ in the middle of the heavy traffic.

It was Ustaz Omar.

I was amused.

Later, we got home safely out of the jam. Dad drove along the road behind Zainab School and somehow, we got out in Kubang Kerian.

"Have you used this road before?"

"Nope." Dad grinned. "I just figured this road might lead us somewhere."

1225, Porch, Home

I closed the gate. I saw Salam [Theo's half-sister] resting under the red Proton. I glanced around for my favourite cat.

No sign of Theo.

As I sauntered towards the door, a sudden thought occurred. I grinned and jumped with a slight whop.

"Trial is over!" I squatted in front of the alarmed-looking Salam, grinning and beaming like a Chesire cat. "Oh my God! Trial is sooooo over!"

p/s:

1. Mischievous Vice Heads backbit Head by calling him Boss behind his back. Or Big Boss. Or whatever we wanted to call him.
2. Kaede is the name of my watch. Call me eccentric or sentimental, but I think the word unique suits me. Or funny. Or clever.
