Just now when i was going off after work i saw one of my former
poly classmate. He approach me and says he is now in bible colleage
training to be a group leader of a church group (i really do not
know what is he talking about), i just act coldly and walk away.
Below is the incident why am i so cold to him.
8 years ago, i enrolled into Singapore Poly and that guy is in the
same tutorial class as me. We are not very close to each other but
we did talk and chat at times. We had a module called Presentation
and every one had to present a topic about themself. During his
presentation, this guy went in front and talk about his family. He
says he came from a divorce family and he is seeking courage from
his religion which is christian to help him with this ordeal. Then
i start to talk to him more after that incident because i envy his
courage from a broken home. At the end of my first year, i failed 3
modules and had to be retained, that guy also fail his module and
so we are retained together.
We are in the same tutorial class for Computer Programming with a
younger batch of people so we only knew each other and hence we sat
together during the tutorial class every time.
One day it was raining and i had to buy a magazine to shelter from
rain, i remember clearly it was an eight days magazine with tom
cruise and nicole kidman posing together from their movie "Eyes
Wide Shut". It was an ordinary cover page with tom crusie topless
and nicole kidman having a blanket on exposing HER SHOULDERS only.
It was eight days magazine nothing big deal.
I reach the tutorial class and sat next to him and he saw my
magazine and ask me to lend him read, i say yes. After reading he
pass to me and shouted to the teacher, he shouted: " Madam, Chiwee
(my name) bring a porn magazine to class" all of the sudden the
whole class look at me and i was so embarrssed. I was so embarrsed
and furious, i said to that guy " please dun be that childish".
Then what happened was a complete shock to me.
That guy suddenly became quiet and paused for a while hence i never
notice him. Suddenly he pushed me so hard that me and my chair came
crashing down to the floor and then he push my table down also.
Every one was utterly dumbfolded, i mean we are all poly student,
what the hell is happening. This is no longer secondary
school.
Maybe i should have beat him in the classroom but i just put the
chair and table back and left the class during the middle of
lesson. I guess the lecturer who is an old woman was so dumbfold
that she just stood there wondering what to do. I mean this is poly
and we are 19 at that time, a sensible age.
Anyway after that incident, we never talk and the guy started to
skip all the lecture and tutorials and i only meet him at the final
term examination and practical tests. In the end he was expelled
from SP.
My question to you guys is will you forgive him, you are in poly
and this guy pushed you down out of nowhere. Maybe this is common
in Sec school but i think poly is a phase into adulthood. This guy
has caused me a great deal of embarrsement in front of the whole
class.
