Yesterday I had an afternoon tea appointment with a friend, Sal (my primary school classmate). Since my time is more flexible, I decided to just take the MRT to Orchard to meet her- tired of driving. Plus parking at Orchard is a nightmare. Could be the timing, when I got on the train, there's very few people in my segment.
Then I heard someone screaming at a kid. I turned & saw a lady berating her poor kid. From the uniform, the kid was from my former primary school. Apparently the kid & a couple of her friends had hidden the teacher's chair & other things, before the teacher came to class, as a prank. Ok, in normal circumstances, when you heard something like that, you might even smile, as it's a good, cute prank. But not in my case. Why? Becos' me & Sal had done the exact same thing when we were in the exact same school.
It's too weird as I'm on my way to meet Sal. A theory born out of desperation floated into my mind. Could my friends hire paid performers to weird me out, while filming the whole thing on covert CCTV. Except I didn't have friends with that sort of imagination or money or who cared enough about me to go to so much trouble. In which case, it was just a coincidence. But the same prank,in the same school, the kid even look a little like me when I was a kid- pony tail & all!
When I related the whole thing to Sal later, she laughed non-stop !!!
