MY LIFE HISTORY…….JOURNEY BACK TO SCHOOL MANY CALAMITIES MANY CONSEQUENCES …..(SIRI 11)
As aspected it would be another tiresome journey back to school…………but as anak jantan all the consequences to be faced with delight and vigour………….only half-way to Jeniang we were,around the unhibated area a big timber tree felt off across the road………not passable to all ……..we had to wait for PWD to cut that big timber……….it took time,because those days see-saw engine was not known yet……….before completing the work our stomachs were already playing keroncong……..

Mat Tongkoi ordered us to bring out whatever food we brought from home………….so we had picnics by just a nearby stream…………I took out my ubi keling and kacang poi, others with pulut manis, nasik , bengkang and many more……..we shared and ate together………we drank the water from the stream……….lucky we had our bekal……our stomachs were tamed then.
Only after the sun was declining towards the west we were posibble to move to Jeniang.Quickly we moved towards the river for the rakit to cross the river , as soon as reaching Jeniang.Then headed for the last bus to Gurun.Pak Salim the driver was there waiting to move……..he had to move fast because at Kebun Teh anything could happen.The communist will make an ambush if a tip-off of a British army man was on the bus.Remember communist still linggers around the area.We safely passed Kebun Teh .Alas our bad day was still around……..Pak Salim’s bus got punctured…….so we had to sacrifice more time before reaching Gurun………the tyre was successfully changed by Pak Salim………..the day was getting dark……..we reached Gurun without transport to Sungai Petani ………….Mat Tongkoi was genius enough to undertake the responsibility………..he went to make a report at the police-station…………..to cut-short………we were taken on a police truck right up to school
On reaching the hostel,Mr Veerasingham was still at the enterance with his cane,waiting for late-comers.Those came late without cause will have their shares.The police officer and Mat Tongkoi were there to explain all the tragedies.We were then ordered to wash ourselves and take our dinner…..Ah Tat was called upon………..that night we had a nice sleep……….tomorrow wiil be another day,and our trip will make top news in school tomorrow………….happy holiday
