on the Friday 3rd of August, my class fish tank got smashed by my classmate. i don't exactly know how but now i know she's really strong. i think she knocked the whole thing down onto the floor and the PLASTIC fish tank broke into pieces... all the water, which was A LOT, splashed onto the floor. as it happened during health education lesson, miss chee was present and she only let a few people near and made the rest sit at their places and those people couldn't do anything even if she wanted to... how annoying!
jun jie and rebecca rushed from their places at the other side of the classroom to save our adult and baby fishes which we loved a lot. we started using the broken plastic pieces of the tank to help push the fishes into containers filled with anxiety as they couldn't be picked up easily with our fingers. most were saved except for 1 i think. miss yeong rushed back to class to see what happened. she was shocked. miss yeong said that we saved all the fishes but there seemed to be a few less.. in the mean time, judy just stood aside, stunned and sad.
jerrold got up from his seat and started scolding her. he crossed the limit until she cried. some of my classmates shoes and socks were wet through and they had to go bare footed until their shoes and socks dried. li en accompanied the teary judy to the toilet to wash up. some of our classmates went to get mops but they forgot about pails.. kelly, miss yeong, rebecca and i mopped the water up. we got 4 mops from different toilets but no pails. haha! finally, christopher fetched the pail and we started to mop up the water. it was rather fun, i must say. khoon hwee wanted to go to the toilet and miss yeong didn't allow it. too bad! he's always going for no reason.. faking that he's urgent. HAH! he can't bluff miss yeong can he?! =P
it took quite a while to mop the water up. after the job was done, khoon hwee was allowed to go to the toilet anyway.. miss yeong gathered all the broken pieces of plastic on the floor with caution. after which she asked khoon hwee to throw the bag of plastic pieces away. she scolded jerrold, " jerrold chua chun hwee! how can you scold judy when all you did was stand there and scold her instead of helping to save the fishes when the " crises " happened?! by right you shoudln't be feeling sad or anything because you do nothing for the fishes! sometimes, judy feeds the fishes and she feels bad enough!" miss yeong was too angry to continue. jerrold said " miss yeong" and miss yeong snapped at him even before he finished his sentence, " you scold my girl i don't want to talk to you! " and we all laughed at him. i doubt anyone of us pity him as he deserved it for scolding judy.
it was a day which, i bet, everyone would remember. who knows, maybe 20years down the road, jerrold would meet judy and say," i remember you! you were the one who i scolded for breaking our class fish tank! and you even cried! " haha. we may never know=D
