Charmainefoo's most memorable memory
I remember when i was 7. I was just in primary one then. Things were going on smoothly in school, and i adored the teachers. I was mesmerised by the large building, and the many facilities that were all around the school.
However, one day, which was the first of april. April Fool's day. I still had school on that day, and was shocked to find the time to be 10.00am in the morning when i woke up. Panic started engulfing me. Bursting into tears, I ran to my parents' bedroom. There they were, watching the television. i wiped my tears away with the back of my hands, and tried to ask them why they did not wake me up in time, for school, without crying yet another time. My mother then proceeded to say that the school expelled me, for being such a naughty girl. i was confused. what did i do to make them want to expel me? then, my father went to pass me some of my new clothes, bought for me over the christmas season, and said that they wanted to bring me to a new school. All along this while, i thought that they weren joking, however, upon hearing what my father had said, i thought that reality had hit this very moment. i went to my room, and got changing, in a couple of minutes, i had done up my hair which was messy, and was prepared to go and visit my new school. Not too long later around12.00pm, m family and i were on the road, going on our way to my new school. However, escape theme park came into my sight, after driving for around half an hour. i was curious. I did not know that there was a school near the escape theme park, and asked my father:' Daddy, are there any schools near escape theme park?' my father then replied' maybe.' that was it. As we passed by the entrance towards the Escaoe Theme Park, my father dropped my mother off, and informed me that mother wanted to use the toilet. So, i didn't think much about it. within seconds, we were at the carpark, situated very near escape theme park. When i went out of the car, my father told my that he wanted to blindfold me, to bring me to the new school. i agreed, and soon, all i was seeing was pure darkness. However, it seemed to get noisierafter every step that we made, after getting out of the carpark. When i had reached the place that my father had intended me to go, he took off my blindfold, and soon, it became bright, and everthing was blur, at the beginning. i was right in front of the entrance to the escape thehe park. Suddenly, my mother appeared out of nowhere, and together in unision, they zhouted ' APRIL FOOLS!' i was surprised and touched by their april fools joke. What a wonderful surprise that was!
I enjoyed my whole day at the Escape theme park, and wished that something like that would happen one more time. however, it did not, as my parents still owes my teachers an explanation on why i did not go to school on the first of april. Therefore, this has became my most memorable childhood.
