DJ HanZ (a new name for him! ^.^) told me he's having his driving theory test tomorrow and suddenly I was flooded with happy memories of how things were back in my time.
I remember at the time I was about to take the "undang" test, one of the guys {he's going to France on a scholarship now (=^_^=)V *good luck*}in my class told me a few people had to retake that test because they failed it and before the worlds "tactful" and "humility" had a chance to invade my puny brain, I blurted out "Hah?! That's so dumb. Anybody can pass that without even trying!"
You can just imagine how big my ego was (and still is). As a result, my friends made me swear I won't study or attempt any of the questions supplied by the JPJ eventhough I've already wasted money on buying that questionaire CD. Like I said, anybody can pass it without even trying, right? .....Right??
Well, just barely...(=_=) I was one answer away from failing that test!! I ended up with a really really borderline pass and was sooooooo thankful I didn't have to embarrass myself and retake it.
But of course, shortly after remeniscing about it, I realized how stupid it was to put my pride and money on the line just to defend my overly humongous ego.
Then I went on to think about other happy times and came to a conclusion: all those moments were a result of our (or my) stupidity, foolishness, boredom and ADHD syndrome.
Like the time my friends and I got fed up with class and went to play basketball. The only problem there? Well, it was 12 o' clock, our classes were still ongoing, we were playing in our school compound and worse still, most of us were wearing our blue pinafores! It was so stupid! Who would run around under the afternoon sun wearing skirts?! And of course, because we were on school compound, a teacher happened to drive pass the courts and was thaaaaat close to catching us. Luckily someone spotted him first so we hid behind trees / under benches.
And let's not forget the extremely memorable new year's day we wasted..... sleeping / sitting / dozing off in front of Gurney Plaza. On the 31st of December, my friends came over to my house for a BBQ party and afterwards, we went to another friend's apartment that was facing Penang so we can get a good view of the fireworks. After everything was done, we were too fired up to go home so we ended up playing Uno Stack-up the whole night and in the morning, we went for dim sum and later some "genius" suggested we go to Gurney. Smart idea.. really smart considering it was barely 8 a.m. But of course, having been deprived of sleep the whole night, none of our incompetent brains noticed this slight technical problem and there we were, standing at the entrance of Gurney, staring at its closed doors and the corridors littered with garbage from last night's party.
Ack! And that time we went for a hotel stay at Batu Ferringhi and realized we actually have nothing to do there so another genius suggested we build sand castles. Of course, with our extremely creative minds and miracle hands *roll eyes*, we ended up competing who can make the biggest pile of sand. OK, maybe that was only for my team cause the other team actually did a pretty decent job. But anyway, you know, piling sand is a kinda hard job that needed a lot of my talent and skills.....
Aha! Then there was this other time when I was still young and innocent and was easily led astray by stupid companions. We decided to be true "rebels without a cause" one day and a gang of us wore flip-flops to school! Of course, as expected we got a stern lecturing and as punishment, the discipline teacher confisticated our footwear for the day and yup, we were all bare-footed. Like that wasn't embarrassing enough, another idiot suggested we show defiance by parading around school in such a manner so there we were, finding strength in number and walking every except the toilets with our naked toes. In the end one of my friends got pissed off at my foolishness so she went to get my sandals back.... *hehe*
Get what I mean? None of those incidents had even a tad bit of intelligence involved and yet, those were the good old days. Ah~ stupidity, ain't it beautiful?
