Moment of Entrapment

today is the last day of exam

woke up early as usual

checking my mails

and decided to go settle my visa

*

smooth-sailing

found the travel-agent

although it has already shifted

to another building nearby

*

till i saw the stack of passports

on the person’s table

gosh i need to submit my passport

for visa application

why haven’t i thought of this before

*

that means i can’t go back

during the weekend

because the processing

is 5 working days

*

i ask the person whether he can

speed up the application process

because the person back at school

told us that it usually takes

1-2 working days only

he said no

*

i was going to faint

when he wrote on my receipt

collection on 12th May aft 7pm

*

you know what’s the implication of this

that means i gonna be trapped here

without anything to do

for almost 1 week

*

and i gonna miss the weekend at home

gonna miss Mother’s Day

and Wesak Day as well

and friends gathering (if any)

*

what i gonna do?

i can imagine myself

read,

sleep,

listening to song,

watching drama,

watching Barney without Ah B,

cooking a little meal,

hanging around in

an all empty library,

*

then

sleep again

sleep again

for 1 week

*

this is gonna be the

most unproductive and

most boring 1 week

of my whole life

*

on the bus back to school

i couldn’t think of anything else

felt i have betrayed my family

by telling them that

i am coming home tomorrow

yet gonna spend 1 week

being a hermit in the hostel

*

sent 1 sms to mom

to tell her about this

i gonna cry

*

i gonna flunk my exam later

due to this

because i don’t have any

good thing to look forward to

finishing exam is not the

main reason to be excited about

*

i even came out with some silly ideas

like

*

1st case

sneaking via the customs

begging them to let me go back

but how many times can i beg

i need to pass through customs

4 times in total

*

2nd case

go back aft 13th,

then never come back on 17th

to do rag

just disappear into thin air

and come back during Aug

*

3rd case

ask mom to come and find me here

*

4th case

worst come to worst

i will go back

and never to return

to sg again

life is a breeze at home

can happily survive

with the title

‘the girl who never complete

her edu at NUS’

*

i don’t wanna go India

i don’t wanna do rag

i just wanna go home

pls…

*

when i reached school

i called up the agent

see whether they can

postpone the application

i want my passport back!

if they don’t allow

i’ll just cry

*

luckily

she said i can collect my passport

aft 7pm today

no problem at all

and come to collect my visa

some other days

*

一天都光晒…

i can go home after all

the sky is bright again

i am again

the happiest person

on the earth

*
