My 9 years old Childhood
Like every kid in Malaysia, I goes to the school in my bus and go class but there's something extra in my daily agenda which is kena cane. haha funny rite? Well, I am very lazy since I was Std1 untill now, never really touched my homeworks or school books and that time I am really the pain in the ass for all the teachers. But no matter how painful it is, I still go on as a happy go lucky kid as I do things I desire. Most of the teachers gave up on me while there are a few who kept trying. Then there is this replacement teacher from Johor which is called Mr Wong, he is a nice guy but he can really inflict pain on others with his faithful cane. haha but then things changes one day........
I was having tuition near my house on that one fine day but I was there very early as my house is very near and so i embarked on a journey across the road to get myself some treats of candy which put my fellow classmates in a difficult situation which is "to buy or not to buy?" then i proudly volunteer myself to help them because they are afraid of cars. As i was crossing the road suddenly there is this one cute One tonne lorry who failed to see the tiny me at the beginning. Althought he stepped on the break hard enough but I still got hit and flew 6ft and landed right infront of the clinic and I realise that I might be dying because I don really feel pain and I thought my whole body is numbed. And weird things happen when the good'ol policemans appear like 1minute after me getting hit and bring me into the clinic but then they did not carry me the proper way la.. what if i broke my neck? will die one you know? But I still need to thank them for saving my life. Then i see the doctor and he smiled to me and say;
Doc : What is your name boy?
Me : Dannie
Doc : Do you feel any pain?
Me : No wor, but my toe hurts
Doc : *meraba here and there* Here pain or not?
Me : Not pain wor...
Doc : Then i settle your toe first la.. the skin came off..
Me : Doctor don pull ok? very painful u know? *pushing him away*
Doc : its ok one la.. *cuts using scisorrs and wrap with bandage* ok la.. you can go home already this time free for you.
Me : wah.. doctor you so good wor.. don tell my parents ok?
Doc : ok.. I wont tell your parents.
Then my tuition teacher get me from the clinic and I also begged her not to tell my parents when she was sending me home. And so I went back home and tell my mom that i fell down and she believes it until that smart driver bring the policeman and visit me to check whether I was ok or not. There goes my perfect plan and my mom ended up crying and all, then i apologize and promise I wont do that again. Finally, my punishment is being barred from crossing the road alone for 3 whole years.
Lesson learnt is:
- Do not hide any unfortunate events from your parents, it hurts them more when they canot share with you.
- Do not give your address to some evil doctor who eventually gives it to the policeman
- Look to your left and then right and left again before you cross the road.
