Shuqun Sec vs Friday Prayers

ok update update!

where are all my friends?!
just got messages from Apit that he wanted to have a holiday on December, most probably KL. but so far only a few members responded and that includes me. aiyoh... apa ni, kalau nak gi holiday, mesti mau ramai2 mah!

kawan2 mcg pulak terus senyap after hari raya. hope they are all good and fine. anyway, faisal, thank you for the bicycle. its a good bike. and also i got the chance to cycle from ang mo kio, to bishan, then braddell and lastly toa payoh! quite near. the journey was like bukit panjang to bukit batok like that. oh anyway i put the bike at my workplace so i can cycle to whampoa market for lunch.

i wanna talk about my secondary school time cos its fun. ok today's story is about friday prayers.
you know, shuqun sec is very near to a mosque. the school actually allows the muslims to go to the mosque on friday for friday prayers.
thats why on friday, the school started at 2pm for the afternoon shift. but during my time, that was 1996, 1997, the friday prayers tend to finish much later than 2pm. and quite a number of times me and my friends including other muslims who went to mosque had to stay back for a few minutes outside the teacher's office. and of course name jotted down, and then detention after school. sial punya Mr Tay. i remembered he asked us why we were late. some of them told him that we were from the mosque and the friday prayers finished late. but then he counterattack back and said, then how come some malays can reach school earlier? so he did not believe our reason. but in 1998, the school now have only one shift in the morning. and friday always finish at 1230noon. i love fridays!
