A brilliant haze-enhanced sunset greeted them as they stood on the top floor of his HDB flat.
She turned to look into his panda eyes (formed from weeks of burning midnight joss sticks).
Boy Boy, this is it.
Have you finished your TYS, gone through my Sensei’s solutions, and cleared EVERY SINGLE doubt that you have?
He nodded his head.
Have you read my Sensei’s last words (ignore topics which are already out of syllabus), and uttered her E-Maths & AMaths prayers?
*nods again*
Have you made sure you know your significant figures?
*nods and nods*
Have you put in fresh batteries for your calculator (plus backups just in case)?
*nods and nods and nods*
Have you put your construction set (i.e. compass, protractor etc.), curve rule, and all your favourite stationery in your bag?
*nodding like a Heavy Metal headbanger*
Most importantly, have you brought along your SELF BELIEF and CONFIDENCE that you will be able do the questions, since they will NEVER be as ridiculously difficult as your school’s sadistic prelim papers and mock exams, and that you stand an equal chance of scoring as those foreign
ghostscyborgs in you class?
“GIRL GIRL! You very lor sor leh!!!“
The sun had set by then, making way for an apocalyptic darkness that lingered on the distant horizon.
It’s dark there and it looks like it’s gonna rain, and the wind is blowing like it’s the end of the world.
She held his hand and looked once more into his eyes.
Boy Boy, are you ready?
He gripped her tender hand tightly (not realizing it was stone cold) and said
Yes.
And so, like those who had bade their final farewell to Miss Loi and The Temple this weekend, they made their way towards the darkness, towards their respective schools, and towards their destinies …
Will hang them up when Miss Loi finds the time ...
See you guys again in Halloween!
