crazy

the centre was closed today for deepavali. and no one thought to inform any one of us. siao.

so me and Steph were locked outside the centre. calling J over and over (the place she was at had no service coverage. blame dumb DG) and emailing the committee. while worrying about offending uncle mike and debating whether we should cancel the afternoon class or not. although we had the committee's approval to cancel, still we were apprehensive as we both thought J would've gone ahead with the class anyway and we were ready to work.

i did call uncle mike, asking him whether he could open the door for us. he sounded really reluctant and frustrated. he doesn't like no one disturbing his peace. then he came out but asked us to cancel the class. and complained to us about the management. coz he also just got to know about the closure yesterday late afternoon.

in the end we went to have morning tea and then book browsing. at 11am, we went back to the center, tried to climb the fence but dared not for fear of uncle's wrath. we still couldn't get J on the phone. and then as decided, we called up all the parents to cancel class.

then at 11.30am, a bunch of college students came and pressed the door bell. as if it's the sesame door, the gate opened. uncle's wife must've opened it.

we went round to the back of the building but the doors were locked. luckily, the cafeteria's windows were open. so me and Steph looked around for sth to push the door handle from the inside. thank heavens that a long pvc pipe were lying by the flower pots at the clothes lines. so yeah, we broke into the building.

went into the office to finish up some preparation work. 2 hours later, uncle mike came in and asked us when we'd be leaving, making sure that we weren't there to stay for the class. good thing we were almost done anyway. or else he'd be mad.

luckily Steph has wifi. luckily i remember our email and password. luckily the committee replied us immediately. luckily we didn't have morning class today. luckily auntie opened the gate. luckily the pvc pipe was there. luckily we had the wisdom to finish 4 sets of basket preparation work for almost all of the kids last week.

but i'm still mad at the management for failing to remember to inform us.
