Pudu Girl School prefect gathering 09

Tell you what, I'm gonna give you a few bucks just to shut your mouth before you can say (or type) "You're posting it now? Isn't it a little too long?". >=(

Anyways, I went to this prefect gathering on the 18th of April, Saturday. Was supposed to attend Accounts tuition but decided to skip it. It's my last year as a prefect anyway, just for once I want to attend a prefect gathering.

Besides, I was supposed to attend an event at that school a few weeks ago but I kind of bailed off last minutely and my friend who invited me was pretty mad at me. After all, she hosted the event herself and was one of the Master of Ceremony there. And since Pudu Girl school hosted one and our school was invited, I figured, 'Why the heck not?'

Headed there early in the morning, around 7.30. Man Li hitched my ride, so my parents went to fetch us both to the school. Oh boy, you should have seen my parents, they were giving the 'hmm-she's-not-a-bad-daughter-in-law' looks onto Man Li. I could SWEAR on my manly dignity that they were thinking that.

Reached there too early. Was supposed to meet up with the gang at about 8.10 because Dharshini's friends were to give us a tour around the school. Oh yeah, Dharshini used to be in Pudu Girl School. Me and Man Li reached there at 7.45. == We both thought we would encounter some traffics along the way but we stood corrected. The road was pretty clear surprisingly.

Had a little breakfast nearby the school and went there back at around 8.00. The gang were already there; Sasi, Shareena, Dharsh and Sri Ayu was there already shortly joined by Angeline, Evelyn, Sam, Matthew and Vivien. Azila came pretty late, we had to cancel our short tour just to wait for her when the two prefects from the school came out.

Oh yeah, speaking about the two prefects, guess who was one of them? It's Shirley Saw Xue Li, the school's head prefect and also studied in the same primary school as I am. It's been ages since I've seen her and boy, the word 'stress' was everywhere around her face. Not to be offensive but... oh what are the chances of her reading my blog... anyway she had quite some pimples on her face and her hair was a little messy.

So we waited for a little longer for Azila. Saw one of the school that came in and thought I recognized one of the prefects there. It was Adam from St. Gabriel. Met him last year in a debate competition. Quite the cool fella. Shortly after that, we decided to abandon waiting for Azila and go in anyway. LOL.

Some other prefects brought us to the hall and I was pretty shocked when I entered their hall. It totally sends our school hall into great shame in comparison, it's like our school's hall is just merely a clubhouse by sheer comparison. The school's hall had air-conditioner installed in it and just by this, had already put our school's hall into great shame.

Being that curious photographer, I snagged myself a few pictures. ;D

The school's hall as well as the event's background. It was handmade and I gotta admit, it was awesome.

Later on, the MC of the event announced the launching of the event. Oh, oh! Guess who I saw again? =D

The MC(s) of the event...

It's Sangeetha or should I say... Sang Guitar! LOL XD. Anyway, she's another friend of mine that studied at the same primary school. Boy, has she changed since the last time we met. When was it again? Oh wait... I've never seen her since after I graduated from primary school. DOUBLE LOL!!

Anyway, when they announced the coming of the headmistress and the VIP(s) into the hall, I was outside of the hall that time. As I enter, I followed closely behind them and waved to the other school prefects, acting like one of the important guests coming into the hall. At first, some of them thought I was one of the VIP(s) and laughed. TRIPLE LOL!!!

The school's entire prefect then came into the hall while singing "Somewhere out there" as their theme song.

The entire prefect from the school had to perform. Sucks to be them...

Then it was the head prefect's speech and followed by the headmistress' speech or at least that's who I thought. I couldn't remember if she was the headmistress or just a stand-in cause the headmistress came pretty late and I couldn't remember whether I took her picture or not.


After all those stuffs, it's time for the prefects of Pudu Girl School to perform =D! Time for the photographer to shine! >=D

First performance was a cultural dance. It was ok but their costume lack the appeal.

They were moving too darn fast!! (Or it could just be my poor photography skill XP)

Then there was a sketch performance. Sketch is like drama, in case you don't know. Here, I'll explain the story in short but... with pictures! =D

Meet this girl (whom shall now be known as Girl 1 [Don't ask, forget her name ==]). She's a bratty little girl who loves to hang out with her friends and party wildly. Girl 1 stole some money from her parents and went out to hang out with their friends Girl 2 and 3. XD


With her stolen money, she went to a shopping complex with her friends and bought some expensive clothings. Later on, Girl 1 called her boyfriend, Gi...(should it be Girl 4 or Boy 1? I mean, the role is of a boy but the cast is a girl...) Boy 1 (Oh, what the heck >_>) and they went to a Cyber Cafe.


Quickly bored with the computer games, Boy 1 invites the girls to join him for clubbing. They agreed and there was only two words to describe it then:

JUST DANCE!!

Girl 1 partied up to the point till she consumed alcohol. When she came back, her parents were waiting for her.

Uh-oh, someone's in trouble~

They got into an argument and the daughter really pissed her parents off. The next day, Boy 1 invited Girl 1 to go clubbing again. She accepted his invitation and went despite her parents' disagreement.


Together, they partied again and once again, she consumed alcohol. She got drunk and their party was cut short when the police came raiding in. She was too drunk to run or resist and got arrested anyway. Those drunk bastards...>_>


Her parents had to come to the police station and bail her out. There, she broke into tears and confessed all her wrong deeds.


Realizing her mistakes, she promised her parents to be a good girl and in the end, she was successful in her life.

And they live happily ever after?

The sketch was pretty good. There were lots of laughing scenes in it. But I'm pretty interested in Girl 1. I heard she's the school actress or wanted to become an actress or something like that. The way she acted was superb, as if she had natural acting talents. Hmm, I sense a competition. *grins*

Alright, next performance was a choir singing. Guess what song they sang? No... it ain't Negaraku. We sang it already early that day. Give you a hint, it has something to do with Romeo and Juliet.

Still couldn't guess it?

It's 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift!

The group of prefects who were singing.

But of course, what's a 'Love Story' without its...

Juliet? and...
Romeo?

Romeo's entrance was pretty dramatic. The song stopped halfway and the sound of door opening was heard. Then, from the lights, walks in Romeo. He (She) walks in and greets Juliet. Then the song resumes as they dance around.


And they were hugging around here and there too, which, somehow..., arouses the boys and girls in the hall.

BUT

Oh seriously, another 'Love Story'? Ain't you all bored with that song? I mean, yeah sure that the song's pretty meaningful. But imagine hearing the same song over and over again from radio, internet, hand-phone and such. Even I would get bored with it.

Oh yeah and during the part where Romeo and Juliet were hugging each other, Adam was a little disgusted. He then told me this:

"Is this really PESS prefect gathering or LES gathering?"
LOL!

Had a short break later on. The crowd was too much, lining up would be wasting lots of time. Dharsh then brought us to their school's prefect room. And surprisingly, a portion of a building is their god-forsaken frickin prefect room!

Though there isn't any pictures but I'm pretty confident enough with my descriptive abilities. The room's pretty big. It's long as well with two long tables in front of a black board. I suppose that's where they have their meetings. They have a frickin coat hanger for their blazers. They even have a locker, a LOCKER!!

This really puts our prefect room into SUPER DEEP shame. Our prefect's room's pretty small, half the size of a class room or smaller. I have to squeeze my big fat ass in just to attend a meeting. I'm not kidding, I'm born with a big butt and after every meeting, my back would hurt like an old granny's back.

Anyway, we went for our food. Apparently, the school there was serving spaghetti bolognese and fried chicken. Hold on, I heard from my friend that invited me to her event that they were having spaghetti bolognese as well... Please don't tell me these are the leftovers. =x


Food ain't that bad, just that the spaghetti was a little hard. Guess they didn't placed it in cold water before serving. The sauce was just nice, the little bit of spiciness made the sauce pretty delicious. The only downfall is that it's not hot enough.

The fried chicken... well nothing much I can say about it except for:

"It's finger licking good"

Except for the fact that I have to eat it with a pair of plastic fork and spoon. How do you expect me to cut the chicken apart? Use the spoon? Been there, done that... didn't work, wasted hours rubbing the chicken with the spoon. ._.

Oh, they also had ABC. Pretty sweet but not enough of syrup on the ice. Basically, too much of ice, too little syrup.


Didn't or rather, forget to bring the prefect T-shirt, had to skip the activities. Darn it, gotta stop picking my nose on every meeting and start paying attention. LOL.

After that short break, the performance continues. This dance's a Malay traditional dance. It's called 'Asramadana'. Wait a minute, isn't Asrama... forget about it. ==


Nothing much about this dance. Except for the part where the dancers would suddenly come down of the stage and dance around you. The music would suddenly change into a horror-themed music and the dancers would scare the ever-living crap out of anyone who they're close to which so happened that I'm one of them. One of the dancers grabbed my arm and grinned sadistically. Didn't frighten me though I almost smashed her head with my camera by force of habit. Thank goodness that didn't happen. Otherwise, I would be in deep trouble. =/

Next on, there's still small little drama that seemed like it's advertising on a skin-care product.


This girl woke up one morning and finds out that she has pimples all around her face. Terrified, she seek the help of her friends and family. Her friends gave her the most weird ideas.

There's this geek who suggested she used brinjal to rub her face. Then there was this one friend who told her to rub Maggie seasoning powder on her face. So, clueless, she used both at the same time.

One more funny scene between me and Adam was this part; the girl asked the audience at one point whether if she should use the brinjal or the Maggie seasoning powder.

Girl: Hmm, which should I use? The brinjal? Or the powder?
Audiences 1: Brinjal!!
Audiences 2: Maggie powder!!!
Adam: Use both!!

Everybody was looking at Adam then, the girl then agreed and used both. She took out a big knife and brutally chopped the brinjal apart. Everybody jolted to the back when they were watching this scene.

Kyle: Adam, you'd better not make her mad. Otherwise, that brinjal could very well be your 'ding-dong'
Adam: O__O Agreed.

LOL!

Anyway, back to the story. So she applied both the stuffs on her face and the next day...


Yeap, you've guessed it; more pimples. The girl's mom came back and gave her some skin-care cream for her to apply on. After using it, her pimples immediately vanished. Then she hold the product out and sort of advertised it.

Next performance was probably the best performance so far. It's called the 'Seju Dance'


It's pretty much an Indian hip-hop dance with all Chinese, Malay and Indian dancing.


See that Indian girl with the white sleeveless shirt in the middle? She did a solo dance that caught everyone's attention. The way she shook her hips really amazed us despite her body figure.

Then, finally, there was the AJK dance where most of the committee members of the event were involved. Their dance was pretty amazing.

Hey look, it's that actress girl again at the right! X]

In fact, the Seju Dance was so darn good that most of the prefects there shouted for an encore. They shouted: "Seju, encore!" repeatedly.

I actually misheard 'encore' as 'hancock'. XD

So, the Seju Dance did their show again and everyone was cheering so loudly.

Then, it's on to the group activities. I didn't have a shirt so I thought I was going to skip the activities but thank goodness for Adam. He borrowed me an extra pair of his school's T-shirt. So I went to change my clothes at the boys' toilet.

Wow, the boys' toilet is really, REALLY small. I don't have a picture of it though. The room was small that it could only fit at least four people inside. Inside the toilet, there are two rooms that had a toilet bowl. Then there was a basin and a toilet-stand. The toilet-stand was pretty close to the door and because of its nonstrategic place, anyone who opens the door from the outside would be able to see anybody's 'ding-dong' using that toilet-stand.

The girls' toilet on the other hand, although I didn't go in and see and if I did, I would've died long ago, is insanely large. 10 times the size of the boys' toilet.

Decided to change behind the toilet area. Oh and guess what? The boys' toilet and the girls' toilet are connected. Guess what I saw when I was changing my clothes? 8D

Nah, just joking! I'm wasn't tall enough to do whatever you were thinking that I was doing that time. Curse my genetics! LOL.

I came across this bucket. On the bucket was a label and on the label was the brand name of the product. I'd seriously would not expect anyone to use...


... this as their brand name. I mean, seriously, 'Fresh Butts'? What the hell, man?

After changing my shirt, I head back to the hall and everyone from my school was like:

"Yee Khai! Since when did you change to St. Gabriel school?"
"Oh Yee Khai, you mengkhianati sekolah kita, ya?"

Anyway, we were then separated into different groups. We were divided according to our month of birth. I'm in team November-December along with Matthew, Evelyn and Adam. We were each given different task to complete.

Our first task was to solve this clue to where our next task's location is. It took us a while to figure out that our next location was in the volleyball court. We immediately raced to that area. Me and Adam was the noisiest. We were both shouting while running with full spirit. XD

Adam: I don't know what I've been told!!
Kyle: I don't know what I've been told!!
Adam: Sui Yee Khai runs pretty slow!!
Kyle: Sui Yee Khai runs prett- HEY!

When we reached the volleyball court, the prefect stationed there told us it was the wrong area. Weird though, we saw a sign board that writes 'Padang Bola Tampar'. The prefect then told us we saw the board wrongly and our location was pretty far from here. Wasting no time, we raced towards our correct location.

Kyle: I don't know what I've been told!!
Adam: I don't know what I've been told!!
Kyle: Adam's sight got some problem!!
Adam: Adam's sight got som- WHAT?!

When we reach there, our task was pretty easy. There's three bowls of flour prepared in a row. We have to blow a ping pong ball across the three bowls and repeat it once again. Adam was first to do it. He tried his very best to blow the ball across the bowls but all he did was blow the flour and pretty much just redecorated his face.


Then I took over, I blew the ping pong ball across the three bowls in one go! Whoohoo!! Second round, I took over again. And once again, I blew the ping pong ball across the three bowls in one go.

The prefect stationed there then gave us a riddle to solve. If we could solve it, it will reveal us to the next location that we will be heading. But there was some errors with that riddle after we tried our very best to solve it. Then the prefect just gave us the next location to us; the car park.

The car park's task is pretty easy. All you have to do is drink this one beverage that one of the prefects had prepared, which turned out to be that actress. That beverage was green and smells funny. Everybody didn't dare to drink it until Adam suddenly volunteered me out to drink it.

Everybody agreed.

The girl told me that I won't die. She said that the drink contains lots of healthy stuffs in it. I then told her that if anything should happen to me, I shall come back and hunt her. As soon as I lift the cup, she ran away. LOL!

I then told myself 'Ah, what the heck?' and drank it all in one gulp. The beverage was pretty bitter and sour but I could tell all the ingredients inside. It was...

Bitter gourd
Cucumber
Celery
Green Apple
(I eat all those stuffs on a regular basis. So... it has no effects on me at all. XD)

After solving the riddle, our next location turned out to be in front of the Co-curriculum building. And our task was to blow out two candles using our nostrils. I tried doing that but because of me having some slight flu on that day. All my mucus came out instead. DO'H!

Adam and a few other prefects from other school completed the task and we headed to our next location which turned out to be the field just close to us.

Our next task is to lift a cup of water and pour it into a basin without using anything at all but strings. Thanks to everyone's idea. We completed the task swiftly and quickly solved the riddle to our next location.

The next location was... back at the car park. So, we rushed back to the car park. The prefect stationed at the car park then told us that this isn't our next location. It was the basketball court. DO'H! ><

Wasted our time rushing back to the basketball court. Our challenge was to let a hula hoop roll in between our legs through ten peoples. A pretty easy challenge, completed in less than five minutes. The prefect stationed there then told us to go back to the car park. We were then like: "What the hell?"

Rushed back there and completed our last task; sitting on each other's laps without any support at all. It's pretty much like this:

Five boys in a circle. Boy 1 has to sit on Boy 2's laps. Boy 2 has to sit on Boy 3's laps. Boy 3 has to sit on Boy 4's laps. Boy 4 has to sit on Boy 5's laps. Boy 5 then, have to sit on Boy 1's laps.

Same goes for girls.

Completed it without breaking a sweat. The prefects there then told us we have completed all the task and asked us to race back to the hall. Did what she told and found out that we weren't the fast to reach there. Ah well, we had to finish yet another task; solving mathematics and IQ questions.

Definitely not a job for me. =D

In the end, we lost. We were too slow... (all thanks to the misdirection that the prefects stationed in each are lead us to ==)

After that, the whole event just ends there and we all decided to take group pictures. I mean, come on, what's a little event ending without some pictures? ;D

All the prefects from all the school. Picture was a little blur. Photo taken not by me =P.
Our school group photo. Blur picture also not taken by me. XD

Well, that's pretty much it. Overall, the whole event was fun. Wished our school could host something like that but too bad, we're just plain cheap. =x

Oh and before I forget... Picture of the day! =D

"Whatchya staring at, punk?"

LOL!!!

Kyle
(P.S. Does anybody have or know anybody that might have that actress' phone number? I think her name's Moon Chin or something. XD)

RIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG!!!

The sound of the school bell rung echoed throughout the entire school as the students of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Mutiara dashed madly out from their classes. Cheering and shouting loudly, they form a crowd that gathered at the staircase, the students were eager to head home and begin their holiday activities.

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Mutiara, a Malaysian high-school located in what was once a jungle, now a school in the middle of it. The colors on the school’s wall clearly tell that the school was still new. The school was founded at the year of 2005, there was five buildings located in the school and was joined together that slightly resembles the letter ‘e’.

Each block was named alphabetically. The office, staff room, and library are all located in block A while sports equipments, stock-room and a clinic are located in block B. A room for Muslims to research about their religion is located in block C and all technologies and home economics related materials are located in block D. Block E, which concentrates most on science, are located far off from the four buildings. Each block, except for block E, has at least three floors and 10 classes in each floor. Block E has four floors and does not have any classes in the building.

The teachers in the school hardly use the science lab due to some reasons and because of that; it has been abandoned for quite some time. Students who have a tendency to skip classes usually use the block as a hideout place to smoke, assault, vandalism and such. The higher-ups officially established an order to lock the building down to prevent any intruding.

“It’s finally the school holiday!” One of the students shouted, receiving deafening cheers from other students.

Yes, it’s November 11th, the start of a two months break for every students in Malaysia. After endless efforts of studying, the students finally gets their reward; a two months holidays. Among the running students, a young girl walked slowly towards the school canteen.

Young Chen Li Kei wandered around the school as she tries to find some friends to chat with. She has a short black hair and wears glasses. Li Kei is a 14 year old girl with a short body and a back bone problem since last year. This is one of the many reasons why she was treated perfectly by both the teachers and prefects.

But the truth is that Li Kei’s backbone problem already healed since the starting of year 2007. She had been hiding the truth from everyone so that she can get the special attention from everyone. Rumors also said that she loves to bad-mouth about people and invade their private life. This is why more and more people started to bare hatred towards her.

Spotting a group of girls chatting happily at a corner, Li Kei decided to join their chat and skipped childishly towards them.

“Hi everyone, what are you talking about?” She asked the group of girls with a cheerful smile implanted on her smooth feature. The girls looked at her and were disgusted when they knew her identity.

“Go away! We don’t want to talk with you!” One of the girls replied rudely, crushing Li Kei’s hope to gain new friends. Li Kei brought her head down and walked away while listening to the group of girls continuing their chats.

Wandering around in sheer disappointment, Li Kei didn’t notice that she was directly in front of a science lab located in block E. Not caring about anything else, even the laws that states the students are forbidden to enter the block, she entered one of the labs that had its doors opened.

The science lab was much bigger if compared to a class. There were at least an amount of eight big tables that could support to eight persons per table. A sink and two water pipes were installed in the middle of each table for the students to wash their hands in a case when they accidentally poured corrosive substance on their hands and such.

She looked around the lab and walked over to a table, not wondering why the door was open the first place when the building has been locked down. She then sat on a chair and buried her head under her arms to hide her crying self, thinking that there was no one around to see her tearing self.

Why? Why do they always treat me like this? They’re all meanies! They all very bad! She thought to herself as more and more tears rolled down her cheek. She then wiped her tears roughly and continued crying.

“Li Kei, what are you doing here?” The sound of a boy came from the entrance of the science lab; Li Kei did not bother to see who the boy was. The boy was just about her height, came into the science lab to tend his crying friend not worrying at the fact that how his friend managed to enter an opened lab in a building that was supposed to be locked down.

“Nothing Wilson,” She replied while wiping away droplets of tears from her eyes abruptly.

Wilson Foo is also a 14 year old teenager with the same attitude as Li Kei, except for the fact that Li Kei has a backbone problem while Wilson does not. However, most people would think that both of them are siblings due to their faces that looked somehow similar. A running gag in school said that they were both long lost twins when they were born.

“Oh really,” He said and took a chair and sat beside her. “You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?” He tried to sound more softly.

Li Kei couldn’t take it anymore, Wilson was right. Unable to control her emotions, she burst into tears. She then tried to say something, but her voice was muffled and hard to hear. However, Wilson could make out those words that Li Kei said.

“Everyone very bad, they don’t like to be friends with me. I hate them!”

Wilson understands her pain for he too had undergone similar situations as her. He then placed a comforting hand onto Li Kei’s shoulder and gently strokes it down repeatedly.

Releasing her anger, Li Kei swung her hand towards a water pipe and both her and Wilson thought she had broken the pipe when it bents over. They stood corrected when the pipe slid down in a secret compartment and the table Li Kei and Wilson were at suddenly began sliding aside. A secret passageway was reveal underneath the table.

“What the…” Wilson said with astonishment. He didn’t know that the school had such a secret room. Now he knew why the higher-ups were so worried about students skipping class and loitered around block E.

Li Kei walked beside Wilson and grabbed his arm. “Let’s go in and see,” Wilson hesitated at first but curiosity had taken the best of him, he nodded. With that, they both walked down the stairs.

As soon as they reached down to the bottom of the room, they were amazed at what was in front of their eyes. High-tech gadgets and computers filled the wide white room, monitors filled the walls. It was like a futuristic cyber-café in there safe for the fact that is was creepy. Wilson and Li Kei walked to the end of the room where a metal door was located. Out of curiosity, they walked towards the door. The metallic door beeped before it slid open, revealing another similar white room.

Unlike the first room, this room was filled with filled with top-scientist-type chemistry set. Various chemicals, test tubes, and never before seen plants were present in the room, it was like a mini garden-science lab. A number of CCTV was installed throughout the whole room.

At the end of the room was another electronic metal door. This door, however, required a fingerprint to open that door as a fingerprint scanner was present at the side of the door. The security measurements showed an importance towards the room.

What is this room? Wilson thought as he gazed at a plant inside a giant test tube. “Li Kei…” He trailed and turned around only to find Li Kei playfully mixing two chemicals together into a beaker filled with boiling water above a Bunsen burner. “What are you doing?” He rushed beside her and looked at what she was doing. If anyone found out about what they did, they are in deep trouble, which was for sure.

Li Kei took a red and blue chemical and mixed them into the beaker, forming a purple solution. “I don’t know. But isn’t this fun?” She said happily and brought up the beaker that was filled with the purple solution.

‘Stupidity’ was the line that immediately popped in Wilson’s head when he realized that Li Kei was holding a BOILING beaker. He tried to warn her but it was too late, the heat from the beaker had already burnt Li Kei’s hand.

“Ah!” She yelped and dropped the purple-solution beaker onto the ground. Weirdly, the purple-solution immediately evaporated into smokes as it filled the room with it, causing Wilson and Li Kei to cough violently.

“Ugh, what is this?” Wilson said and continued coughing.

“I don’t know, let’s get out of here!” Li Kei covered her mouth and rushed towards the stairs that headed back to the science lab only to knock into someone. That someone wasn’t Wilson. No, it was someone else, someone bigger.

“Hey!”

Then, the only thing she and Wilson remembered was pitch black.

________________________________________________________________________

“KRRIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG!!~”

The sound of the alarm clock filled the room of a two and a half storey house followed by a hand reaching for the clock and threw it towards the wall, smashing it into millions of pieces. Then, a figure slowly got up from his bed with a groan and placed two legs onto the pavement.

“Awh, man, not again,” A boy mumbled lazily as he rubbed his eyes and looked at the smashed alarm clock. “Guess I’ll have to buy another new clock,” He then stood up and walked lazily towards the bath room.

He turned on the warm-water faucet on his sink and the heat from the water caused the mirror to blur. He took a handful of warm water and splashed it in his face. After yelping about the heat, he switched the faucet to the cold-water and splashed his face again, this time waking him up. This was how he’d wake himself up every morning.

The boy looked at the blur mirror and wiped the mist on the mirror with his hand. Looking into the mirror, he could see the reflection of a Chinese boy in his teen hood, probably 15, slightly fat and acceptably strong. His black curly hair fell downwards, obscuring half of his black eyes.

Taking off his clothes, the boy then took a shower and then brushed his teeth, a usual day-to-day morning routine.

After his shower, he walked out of the bathroom and looked at the pieces of his alarm clock. Exhaling heavily, he pushed the pieces aside with his leg and left it there. Kyle Sui had thrown approximately 12 alarm clocks in this month so far. He claimed it to be a force of habit. Whether it’s a good habit or not, his allowance is at stake if this continues on.

The boy then walked straight towards his closet and picked up some clothes which consist of a white T-shirt, a school uniform, a green ‘Dark Olive’ pants and a pair of socks. All the attires he wore turned Kyle’s appearance to an ordinary student.

After putting them on, Kyle walked over to the door where a switch was located beside it and flicked the switch. Upon that, the room was consumed by a series of blinding light. Kyle’s room is a pretty spacey room which looked like an upside down letter ‘L’ if viewed with a bird’s-eyes view. His room consists of a bed, a closet, a desk by the window, with books scattered around messily and a computer. Finally, his room also has a bathroom.

Looking into the mirror installed in his closet, Kyle took a comb and combed his hair to the side, with a little part of it dropped to the brows. He then walk towards the desk and took his Nokia N-80 cell phone and checked for any messages and the time. The slide-phone showed that it is 6.30 a.m. 17th of November, a two-month school holiday for students in Malaysia. After that, he put his phone into his pocket.

The reason why Kyle dressed up like a student even though it was a school holiday is because he and his friends had made an appointment to meet up at the school today for a Kelab Pencegahan Jenayah, or shortly known as KPJ, club meeting. He happened to be one of the supervisors for that club.

Kyle then walked towards a hanger by the door and pulled out a belt and straps it on. He then walk over to his two person bed and pulled out a retractable baton with its sheath from the pillow. He had brought that baton not long ago for self-defense purposes.

After attaching his sheath onto his belt, Kyle then walk out of his room and went down to the living room. Unlike the bed room, the living room is far much more spacey with pearl-white tiles and pearl-white painted walls. Not bothering to check the room around, the boy grabbed his wallet and his keys on the coffee table. A cup of fresh coffee was present on the table with a note paper underneath it.

He didn’t bother about the note and took the coffee and consumed it only to spit it back out when the coffee was proven too bitter for him. Kyle then noticed the paper and read it.

‘Still will not forgive you until you have apologized for what you have done’

Then, he knew that it was his mother’s handwriting and she made the coffee. Usually, his coffee would contain milk and sugar in it, today, it contained none. Guess they’re still angry at me… he thought to himself and placed the note back underneath the coffee and headed to the car porch.

Kyle’s family had two Honda cars at the porch, a Honda Stream and a Honda City, but only the Honda City was there. Kyle wasn’t surprised at the absence of the Honda Stream. He remembered that his family had planned to visit their hometown. His family, out of anger, must’ve left Kyle behind and went back to the hometown in another state.

The automated gate opened as Kyle pushed a button from a small remote found at the keys. Kyle then walks out of the porch and the gate closed itself at the click of a button. The gentle morning breeze from the mountains greeted him as he walked along the empty streets. His house was located on a hilltop. The dogs in the neighbor houses were still sleeping soundly and Kyle was glad, otherwise, their barks could wake the whole neighborhood up.

The meeting was supposedly held at about 7.30 a.m. The journey to the school by foot takes about 30 minutes, so by the time he reaches to the school; it would be roughly around 7 a.m. So there would be 30 minutes more to spare. ‘It’s always best to wait rather than be waited’, his mom once taught, though Kyle chose to ignore it, his inner-self had adapted to the teaching.

After a few minutes of walking, Kyle had already reached bottom hill. Cars were beginning to be visible as they headed for their jobs. The boy walked along the busy streets and enters a nearby 7-11 convenience shop. He would then buy a cream-bread and a can of Nescafe for breakfast. Kyle needs not to eat much for breakfast.

After the quick meal, Kyle walked over to the newspaper booth and bought himself one. With that, he continued on his journey towards the school.

To ease the boredom, the boy took out the newspaper he bought back at the shop and read it. For 5 years of reading newspaper, Kyle would always buy a whole newspaper just for the Sports section. He’s not interested with the news and don’t give a damn about what’s going on around the world. But today, the front page title and the photo attached on it caught the boy’s attention.

THE DEAD WALKS!! Followed by a disturbing picture that sends chills down to Kyle’s spine, it was a picture of a man with blood stains all over his body. But before Kyle could read the news any further, a honk snapped him out of his reading and quickly realized that he was standing mere inches away from a car that was about to run over him.

Quickly acting on instincts, Kyle dived away and landed roughly onto the rough pavement of the streets.

“Watch where you’re going, you fool!” The driver of the car shouted as his car speed away.

“You watch where you’re going, darn it!” Kyle shouted back, he knew that it’s impossible for that guy to hear if but he just wanted to release his anger at that guy who almost ended his life. He didn’t care if anyone heard his cursing because he knew that the one who started it was that guy. The way he drives could kill others and mostly, him himself. Deep inside, he wished that the driver got caught in an accident and dies a fiery death.

Kyle stood back up and patted off some dust from his body while receiving several glances from other pedestrian walking by. The boy then looked around for his newspaper only to find that his newspaper had fall down to a drain. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Kyle continued on his journey to his school.

What a morning to start my day… Kyle thought to himself.

________________________________________________________________________

School, 7.02 a.m.

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Mutiara, or shortly known as SMKSM, was a new school built not too long ago. Famous for winning countless titles and prizes in sports and academic competitions such as gymnastic, aerobic, running, basket ball, hand ball, quiz competition, poetry, leadership course, and other various competitions. This particular school has always been a role model for other delinquent-schools. But the truth is; SMKSM is also a school filled with delinquents, from gangsters to drug dealers, you name it. However, thanks to the proper management from the school and mostly, the disciplinary teachers, what was once a hell-like school was quickly turned around into a school where ‘Happiness is just a text book away’. No more, no less.

Kyle walked up to the front gate only to find that the gate had been locked up. Kyle slapped himself mentally when he realized that the key is with the chairman of the club, Gan Yang. “Great, now I’ll have to wait for Gan Yang to arrive here,” Kyle muttered to himself. No, Kyle wasn’t insane for talking to himself. In fact, that was pretty normal; he claims that it was one way to express his inner-thoughts.

He then looked around the area. Much to his luck, nobody was there. “Guess I’ll have to do this, the old way,” With that, a grin was implanted into his youthful feature and Kyle quickly jumped onto the gate and climbed over it. As he landed onto the ground, Kyle gave out a slight grunt and continued fort.

Entering the school’s yard, there was also nobody there too. It’s weird actually; usually the clerks will be at the school even during school holidays to manage the school’s files. But it saves Kyle’s breath to explain to them how he managed to get in anyway if one of the clerks would ever ask him.

Looking around some more, he spotted the canteen manager’s Honda CRV parked by the canteen. “Alright, so I’m not alone after all. Guess I’ll just wait at the canteen then. Besides, being alone for quite some time freaks me out,” At that, the boy went to the canteen and sat on a bench with his head leaning onto the table.

“I bet the guy’s will wake me up when they arrive,” Kyle muttered to himself again and closes his eyes. Then, everything went black.

________________________________________________________________________

School, ???

Kyle groan as he opened his eyes and scan around the canteen. “What the heck? The guys aren’t here yet?” He then got up and took out his cell phone to check the time and any messages that came when he was out sleep. “What the hell, 5.58 p.m.?” Kyle half shouted and walked out of the canteen. He then notices that there were plenty of miss calls that he received while he was asleep.

They were, Mom, Dad, Jian, Daniel Mak, Carmen Hor, Gan Yang, Angeline Lam, Amirul Zaki and other anonymous numbers.

“Whoa, that’s… weird. That’s the first time I’ve received so many calls from my friends and families. Better give them a call back,” With that. Kyle pressed a few buttons and the phone dialed ‘Mom’. There wasn’t any sound from the phone as there was no connection and signal.

“Damn,” He cursed and tried other numbers, it was still the same.

Things were getting weirder; Kyle noticed that his surroundings were quiet, too quiet. Usually there would be sounds from the construction site located near the school that filled the air, but now, the only sound that he could hear was his own footsteps, it was beginning to creep him out. Kyle then decided to head to the office to check whether if the clerks were in the office or not and the results were still the same; no one.

Suddenly, a low crunching sound caught Kyle’s attention to the Janitor’s stock room located behind the stairs to the staff room. Slowly, Kyle walked to the source of the sounds and then, he saw something that would probably hunt the hell out of him for the rest of his life.

It was the school’s janitor and he was feasting onto one of the school’s clerks! The smell of blood filled the air, but there was another smell too but Kyle couldn’t identify it. It smelled like gunpowder but he wasn’t sure until the empty cartridges of a bullet filling the floor proved it.

“What the hell!” Kyle shouted and covered his mouth as a response, resisting his urge to vomit. The scene was too gory for Kyle to handle.

His shouting caught the janitor’s attention as he brought his head up to reveal his horrible face. He has white milky eyes and yellow rotten teeth and blood covering his mouth and the rest of his body. There wasn’t a single trail of his hair left. His skin was pale, sickly pale!

It was a zombie! There was no mistakes about it, all its characteristics and appearance definitely matches with a zombie. Kyle could tell because he was a zombie-lover. He loves to play zombie-based games and watch zombie-based movies. He could immediately tell if there ever was one.

But what the hell was a zombie doing here? Why is it here in the first place? However, this isn’t the time to think as what was once the janitor got up and begun staggering towards Kyle with his hands stretched forward. It then let out a frustrated moan.

“Stay back! I’m warning you!” Kyle shouted and threatened to take out his weapon. He then realized that talking to a zombie would not give a result. As he recalled, zombies do not have any reasoning skills, they’re just a bag of walking flesh. With that, Kyle took out the baton from its sheath and swung it to expand the steel while he slowly backed away.

As he back away, another one of the ‘zombies’ appeared from the side and launch itself towards Kyle with a yell, threatening Kyle’s heart to stop pounding. He silently thanked his reflexes after he managed to avoid the other zombie and ran to the school’s yard to gain more space. Looking closely, the other was the school’s head assistant, Miss Sasikala.

Miss Sasikala, the school’s head assistant was an Indian at her late forties; she had a black shoulder-length curly hair. Her strictly no-joke attitude has earned herself a reputation of the strictest teachers in school. Kyle remembered that she had reprimanded him a considerable amount of times before.

“What the hell? Sasikala’s one of them too?” Kyle said as he catches his breath quickly. He couldn’t tell if he was happy or scared at the fact that one of the teachers that always reprimanded him is now a walking undead.

Then another moan caught his attention as he turned to the back only to see another zombie. This time, it was the canteen manager, the big sized Uncle Bob. There were others coming in through the back entrance too! They consisted of the construction workers. There were at least five of them! That explains why the constructions had stopped.

It was then only that Kyle realized that he was surrounded. “Hel… he…” Kyle tried to shout but wasn’t able to, the fear in him choked him. He took in a few breaths to calm himself down and swallowed the bile that was forming in his throat. He managed to shout panicky. “Help, anybody? Help, me!”

No response.

The zombies staggered closer and closer towards Kyle, moaning in harmony. Kyle knew that they were ready to tear into his flesh and eat the crap out of him if he doesn’t think of anything.

Kyle looked around and saw that the only escape way was through the front entrance, where he had come from, and the back entrance located at the far end nearby the canteen. He chose the back entrance instead of the front one because he feared that there will be more zombies out there waiting for him. The back entrance, however, had a vandalized gate that was ready to fall off at any give time.

Kyle could take this to his advantage but the former construction workers, now a bunch of zombies, were in his way. There isn’t any other way Kyle could use that doesn’t involve him getting turned into zombie food. Guess there wasn’t any other way but to force himself through the zombies.

He knew that zombies are slow creatures and are easily to be dispatched if they are alone, but they could be prove as a bigger threat when attacking in a group. His times from watching and playing zombie movies and games had served him well as Kyle had already thought of a strategy, using the zombies’ slow reflexes to his advantage. Secretly, he thanked himself for being a zombie-addict.

With that, Kyle dash towards the construction worker zombies with a battle cry and brought up his baton. He then jump to the air as he approached a lone construction worker zombie and smash its head with all his might, however, the former human only fall to the ground and it would later got back up. But that was enough for Kyle to make his escape.

The second zombie tried to launch itself towards Kyle, but he quickly reacted by sidestepping and spun around. He swung his baton to the following zombie’s side that wanted to grab him; the creature stumbled to the side, giving Kyle a route to escape.

The forth and fifth zombie tried to use the same tactic as the second zombie attempted on Kyle, but they had left a gap in between them. A big mistake! Kyle dived in the air through the gap and rolled onto the pavement. It hurts, but it’s the least Kyle would feel if any of the zombies would eventually grab hold of him.

He quickly picked himself off from the ground and turned around to see the distance between him and the zombies and fortunately, they were far enough to not posses any threats to Kyle, at least for now. Kyle then immediately head for the gate and as he had predicted, the gate had already fallen off which explains how the construction worker zombies could get through. With all his might, he ran out of the school, still couldn’t believe at what had just transpired.

Jalan Taynton View, 6.06 p.m.

Kyle walked along the deserted streets. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Abandoned cars littered the streets, some crashed into buildings, some of them even crashed together with the drivers and passengers still in it. A restaurant was set ablaze. Blood trails were everywhere.

The whole area was like hell, no, it IS hell. The place was also perfumed with the aroma of death.

“Man, this place is trashed,” Kyle exclaimed and took out his cell phone and scroll to the list of miss calls that he had received earlier. “Damn, they might be in the same situation like I was too. I’d better check up on them,”

Oddly, there was still no signal and reception for his cell phone. “Damn it!” Kyle cursed; he couldn’t believe that of all times, his phone chose now to fail working. “Since I can’t call them, guess I’ll just have to pay them a visit but who should I go to first?”

Kyle snapped out of his train of thoughts when a roar came from the back, Kyle spun around only to find a zombie had managed to sneak up from his back. The zombie had gotten the advantage as it outstretched its hands to grab him.

Meet Herbie, my very first official pet.

Yup, meet my pet hamster, Herbie.

Herbie, running on the mini-hamster wheel that I bought for her.

Yeah, Herbie's a girl hamster. I got her on the fourth of April from a fellow friend of mine who was giving away hamsters. That time, Daniel, Gan Yang and me went to her house and checked out her hamsters and selected our hamster of choice.

Daniel wanted to select the most chubbiest one, which turned out to be the most hyper-active one as well. Climbing the cage non-stop and biting on everything, even including your finger if you tried playing with it. In the end, he choose a semi-chubby (LOL) male hamster and named in Mac.

I choose the smallest one because I like cute and small animals. =D I don't know what kind of name to give it so I just let it be for a while. Turns out my hamster's a girl.

Awh, look at her. She has camera-shy. XD

Later on, we head to the nearest pet shop and bought a few accessories for our hamsters. After that, I had to bring Herbie back to my hometown and kinda lied to my mom about Herbie being one of Daniel's relative's hamster and borrowed it for me to take care of it for a week.

Yeah, my mom doesn't like pets.

Anyway, during the trip to my hometown, situated in Seremban., there was a lot of bumpy roads along the way. I think Herbie had car sick during the trip and if not mistaken, she vomited her food out. DO'H!

At my hometown, I let Herbie played on her wheels for a while and gave her some food. I don't have a small plate with me that time, so I just took one of the food out and feed it to her by my hand. Herbie was damn cute when she snatched it away from me and eat it only to toss it aside after eating halfway.

No Herbie... you gotta finish your vegetables to be as strong as me~

Another thing about Herbie though, she's pretty lazy after her meal. Once she's done with her meal, she would just go sleep.

Oi! Sudah makan exercise la sikit!

Here comes another cute thing about Herbie. Seeing that she's asleep, I let her be for a while. I came back to check on her after a few minutes and was shocked. I thought Herbie died when I...

saw this.

Lol, you should have seen my reaction when I realized that it was one of the ways every hamsters sleeps. Herbie gave me the shock of my life wei.


Later that night, when I reached home. I gave Herbie a mini bowl and filled it with food and boy, was she delighted. When she inspected the new bowl I gave her, my heart immediately melted. It made me go 'Awwwwh~'. XD


Immediately, she went into the bowl and ate her food. Herbie's pretty picky about her food. Whenever I give her a bowl of food, she would dig and grab her favorite food instead. If I grab the food and offer it to her, she would swing her arm around her and push my hand away.

The next day, I found out that Herbie used that bowl as her bed. LOL! The food? She tossed it into the small dish of water. ==

"Good morning, master!"

Later, mom found out about the truth about Herbie and I. At first she protested about me having Herbie as my pet, but in the end, she agreed, on a few conditions.

I have to take good care of it. By good care it means, cleaning out all of Herbie's poops.

Awh, thanks mom! You're SO getting a present from me on Mother's Day (if I didn't forget about it that is...)

More pictures of Herbie coming up. =D
Stay tuned.
