999!
today i called the police. it is not the first time. the last time was back when i was a baby. mum told me that i used to make prank calls to the station. and dad actually got a severe warning for my innocent plaything. the old amk police station was 2580369. i dont believe i was the only baby who did that.so today. oh it was my fault. here's what i registered in chronology. agatha and i was going to the enchanted forest for an evening dosage of health and fitness, we got dressed sports for life, and came outta the house. saw my mum meddling with her pots of plants outside. i checked that i brought my phone and handsfree set, and pushed the padlock intuitively, reasonably, rightly, logically. then i realised it, and turned to my ma, " uh oh mama i locked the door." mummy stared at me, quite blank-eyed. and face. then she said " 我在煮滚水leh,"you know in descriptive compos we write 'her face turned a whiter shade of pale' i saw that on her face. "怎么办？或开很大！”and in compos it is always written "my heart skipped a beat" i think that was what happened. or the beat was actually pound harder than the rest, so it seemed like its a hollow beat, if you can imagine. "ok 叫警察来，”first thing that came to mind. so i dialled 999. then we scurried about the gate, tried to hook the nearest key bunch, tried to pry open the windows, i even thought of scaling the pipe to enter from my room upstairs ( someone recently did that, it is plausible, but im not agile, nor have monkey arms so.)my mum was almost hysterical. i had to call 999 again to reassure her they are coming to save us! until 999 denied my incessant calls. called dad who was working across the island,"terrible" he said. but believe it or not, agatha and i remained amazingly calm. and it was agatha who eventually hooked the key pouch from the side. this heroine leh, my sister! and so i called 999 to cancel 'the men' ( as the officer on the phone called them 'my men'). dah, we dashed in and the kettle wasnt even singing yet. my mum was entirely shaken. she broke down after, saying everything would be gone if the house had gone up in fire. agatha and i proceeded on with our sports for life. and alas, downstairs were 2 policecars parked so carelessly like there was a murder. and a red little civil defence bike. almost in the middle of the road too. so we went up again in case mummy gets interrogated. oooh, they came with a big .. tool. but they are young chaps. hai, come so slow, water also boil already, my mum complained.
but it was spectacular spectacular. alot of small boys were so captivated by those blue uniforms. they watch the blue men like they were a battalion of aliens, mouth a-gaped. little boys. today is a boyful. i encountered countless small boys. it is an omen. everywhere i went, they almost run into me. at least 8 of them. its weird. i think lestat might be sending hints.
anyways, should you, my dear friends, face a situation similar to mine, just find a pot, step on it, and turn off the gas velve near your front door. lousy police, never advised that.
well, at least they didnt charge.
