Way of the cross.

Note: Pictures all taken by Cynthea Tan

It's just like any other Sunday. I went to church as usual, and I'm shocked to see all the preparations for the acting, Way of the cross.
My teacher told us that for our grade, we're doing the stage where Veronica wipes the face of Jesus, and guess what? My catholic name's Veronica, and i have to do the job. I lost the power to deny.

So yeah, the acting starts around 9.30 and the first stage was, Jesus was condemned to death.

That boy acts as Jesus.

1st Jesus. 

Got beaten up, tortured and humiliated.

The weather was hot that i could hardly open my eyes. I was standing behind the crowd, trying to be as far as i could so no one would noticed. 

I was with my friend name Joanne, We were behind walking when our class' Jesus, Jonathan came to us. 

"Go! Teacher calling you." 

And i denied "I don't want..."

"What don't want? go..."

and i got a white cloth from my teacher. The cloth with no Jesus' face on it.

6th Jesus. My class' Jesus. ;P

Don't panic? How can you NOT panic?

It was a gloomy day, i didn't much bother about it. I was upstairs doing my thing, and i wanted to throw the trash, decided to go out when i suddenly found out that my brother's not home. And i have NO keys to go out. So i leave the trash aside and went upstairs to my comfortable paradise, my bedroom.

Suddenly there's lighting and thunder heard. It doesn't bother me, either. And then there's phone call, i thought another brother of mine would pick up the call so i just sit on my chair. The ringing went on, i had to run up and pick up the call, when i reach my brother's room, i noticed that no one's there. Maybe they went out.

"Remember to take the clothes in! It's raining." It was my mum's voice from the phone.
"Alright." I replied and she hung up the phone, i was going to take in the clothes when i suddenly remembered, THERE'S NO KEY!

Once again, i dialed my mum's mobile and she did not pick it up. My heart was beating fast, would my mum slaughter me and cook me up if she knew the clothes were all WET? Would she scold us if we tell her that we have no key to go out? There's lots of conclusion that came up to my mind.

There's only 2 way.
First, let the clothes be spill with rain water and wait for my brother to come back.
Second, run outside from the back door and keep the clothes and enter from the back door again.

I came out with a decision in no time, i grab the keys of the back door and rush out like mad people. I was having difficulties in choosing various kinds of keys to open the back door, my heart was still beating fast, without rhythm. I did not sweat because it was a cooling weather, finally when i get to open the door, i noticed i did not wear any shoe, there's a moment i wanted to just run out bare footed, but I love my leg, so i use my umbrella to grab my shoes because i don't have the key to go out and take them. After getting my slippers, I ran in high speed, Olympic level, and reach the front of the house in a blink of an eye. I press the umbrella handle between my shoulder and neck, using both hands to keep the clothes, and ran in as fast as i could. After keeping the clothes, i had to rush back, because i did not lock the back door and someone may go in!

So why didn't i lock the back door? I tried, but there's lots of keys and no key seems to fit in that tiny long hole, i gave up, close the door pretending it was lock and went to keep the clothes, also, rushed back in time. When i went in, i did not detect anything strange, i did not find any weird and suspicious people in my house, i breathe a sigh of relief and walked in, everything feels slow again. Looking at the rain drops, i sighed again. What an experience!

The books always says, do not panic when something happened, THINK is the only way. I wanted to tell those people that invented this sentence to experience it yourself, and i believe that everyone will be PANIC when they met such situation. Not just umbrella and clothes thing, but something else.

Hide & Seek

It's a typical evening and I am staying in my room doing my thing. Inside this protected house, with a warm bed and cool air, i just don't feel like going out. I wished I'll be in my own room, own space like, forever. When i was still enjoying this "space" of mine, my brother walked in my room, asking me out to the park. I should be feeling lazy, but i don't know why my laziness sort of tells me :" Go ahead. He's your brother, he's asking you out for a walk. " I did not hesitate for a moment, not even a sec, and i replied him :"Wait for me downstairs, I'll catch up with you later." And so i rose from my study table, put on some sporty kind of clothes. Smiled to myself in front of the mirror, totally satisfied with the sports look.

We were walking on feet because our bicycles' aren't there (long story) and we headed for the nearest park. We sat on a swing and started swinging around. We laughed and smiled. I challenged my brother by saying :"Let's see who can swing the highest!" And yes, my brother's always the winner. Pffft. C'mon, common sense,
guys = heavier = gravity = swing lower = how the heck is he swinging higher than me?

After sometime, he got bored with the swinging thing. He's not so in-to girl thing. He headed to the basketball court and joined the kids there while i continue sitting there observing every little bit of everything of the park. The trees, the leaves, the flowers and the birds.. Somehow, i felt a little bit of loneliness. And then this is when two kids that came to the park caught my full attention.

It's a little boy and a little girl. I estimate that they're around 6-9 years old by the look of their innocent and cute faces. The elder sister had a red and chubby cheek, she's wearing a red, bright colored shirt and was bigger in size while the little boy was smaller in size, wearing a pair of spectacles.

This two children are playing hide and seek. Because of the super boredom of mine, i started to take videos of the two children. I noticed something when they're playing hide & seek. The thing that really surprised me was that they're not like any other children that close their eyes and count from 1-50 and started looking for the other person, it's the other way round.

My eyes can't get off the little boy. When he's counting 1-50, he had his eyes wide open, his eye sight followed his sister as the sister tries to hide. *What about the word "HIDE & SEEK* When he's done counting, he started went off "searching" for his sister. Well, this part is the weirdest, he KNEW very well that his sister went ---> that way, but he went <---- this way. For more than 10 times, they saw each other, but they pretend they did not, is it to play longer? When the little boy see his sister, he pretends he didn't and turned away! .....WHAT!?

After he's tired, he went back to his sister, he knew his sister's is down the slide. But he pretend that he don't know about it yet. He climb up the slide, and stand on top of it, and started to say "Hey, i saw you came this way, where are you?"

Weird huh?
