11:23 PM
i reached school early this morning with a cup of teh and toasted roti with kaya.
feeling upbeat, finally getting to see my children after a long weekend...
uncle atique, at the gate said "farhanah you never come ah yesterday? you win $500 lucky draw. first prize."
i heard first prize, but im lost in between cause of his slang.
then i said "really?" and walked in.
"FARHANAH!!! 500 DOLLARS!!! why you didnt come!!!" screeched miss may.
okay, so the story goes...
on 9th january, saturday, there's a family day event at the temple.
the childcare im working with is under this temple organization or something.
so its like a carnival where you have lots of stalls with food.
and free flow of ice cream and what nots.
but i didnt turn up.
due to some technical fault.
which i dont want to elaborate on.
ya, then at the end of it, there's a lucky draw.
and i won first prize. $500. CASH.
but i wasnt there la. so too bad. my fault what kan.
BUT. today, when i went to school, from 9.10 am, everybody was like so mad la sia.
the uncles, the aunties, the bus drivers, the cooks, the teachers and everyone said:
"haiyo! see la! $500 dont want so have to come back and work right."
"$500 eh, mine only $50!"
"you have too much money is it ah girl? $500 also dont want."
"why didnt you come! first prize you know!"
"FARHANAH~ *and she showed me her palm of five fingers*"
"wei se mo ni mei you lai! wu bai kuai leh!"
"wo men den hen jui leh. dou mei you na dao wu bai kuai!"
okay people, please stop it.
you should all have just kept it from me right.
so mean! :(
i ady felt bad not going and this commotion made me feel worse la.
THANK YOU SO MUCH LA EH.
but still, i love you all la k.
*smiles.
good night everyone.
but seriously, my hands were itchy on that morning.
(my mother always said that it meant you are gonna get money.)
and my eyes were twitching since friday.
(and i thought something bad was gonna happen sia, so negative.)
