I witnessed two cases of canning today, right before my very eyes. i have to admit, it's a very traumatising sight. i covered my eyes throughout it, many others did not see either. yet, there are some who thought they could take the sight of it, only to find out, they can't either.

especially when the two people being canned are my friends, my classmates, Redzuan and Christian. afterall, i knew Christian since secondary 1.

mr ong walked in our class with an extremely thick cane in his hand. Jaena and me went "oh shit" together. we were shocked. all of us were. we weren't mentally prepared to witness our friends get their two strokes of canning. everyone, the girls. cried. i only did when Christian was preparing to get canned. i wasn't THAT close to redzuan, but it hurt to see a classmate get canned too. besides, i was closer to Christian. like i said, i knew him since secondary 1.

worse of all, mr ong told the people sitting in the first 2 rows to go to the back, and i was in the third. i saw them, so clearly. they were so close. everyone could see their nervous faces, which they nevertheless, tried to remain calm.

the class was filled with sniffings, and sobbings. the girls were teary. it was a terrible sight.

everyone kept extremely quiet, till recess. during mother tongue, Mdm Tan spent two periods of chinese talking to us bout whether or not they did the right thing, whether or not they deserved it. i won't side them that they're right. but, it isn't completely their fault either. think about it, every teacher's practically bioused against us, except Ms Lim. she's a great teacher, we all know.

mother tongue test was postphoned to tomorrow, cause Mdm Tan said we were all feeling down and weren't in the right state of mind to take the test. we'd do badly, i believe.

after the canning, mr ong said, "so what are you waiting for?". he expected us to thank him, and greet him. thank him for canning our friends, and classmates?thanks but no thanks. still, we did as told anyways.

You're voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
