Entry 4: Something unusual that happened that day

Today, we did not need to go to school, as our principal decided to reward us for our school's good O Level results with a day off. Naturally, all of us were estatic, but it also nrought back memories of what happened to me on that day two years ago, when I was in primary six.

It was just like any other weekday. I woke up at five thirty in the morning, took a bath and left for school without taking my breakfast. However, when I got onto the buss, there were no students. Usually on a typical day, I would not even find a seat on the bus, but on that day, the bus was empty except for a few elderlies who were heading for the market.

Throughout the bus trip, I kept checking my watch to see if I am too early or if my watch was spoilt, but it seems that my watch was in perfect condition. As the bus travelled closer and closer to my school, no students came onto the bus. In fact, I did not see any students from any other schools on the bus or on the bus stops too! Unusual, I thought to myself.

When I reached my school bus stop, I saw that my school was dark and empty. The small pavement that usually crowded with students talking to each other was also empty. By then, I was very curious and walked towards the school gate. "Boy! Do you know that there is no school today?" the security guard called out to me. I was puzzled and asked back,"why?" Hearing my answer, the guard looked bemused and answered me,"Today is National Day!"

I gasped and looked at my watch. It stated: 9/1/2007. What the guard was saying was true. I thought aloud," How could I forget that today is National Day?" The now embarressed me then hurridly apologised to the guard abd quickly headed back home and went back to sleep. I woke up again at ten and continued my day. Until now, no one else except the security guard knows about this incident.
