An Act Of Vandalism
(0)At the ground floor of a housing estate block on a warm May night, she waited impatiently for the lift to arrive.
Humidity hung heavy in the air, creating a sombre mood that reminded her of students receiving their mid-year exam results during this period.
Just when she felt that her makeup was about to melt, the lift door opened. She gleefully stepped inside, only to sense that she was not alone.
Looking up, she was stunned to see a gigantic moth staring back at her from the roof of the lift cabin.
At this moment, the door suddenly slammed shut and the lift ascended rapidly to gain an equivalent of 23 storeys worth of gravitational potential energy (her mass being totally negligible) to arrive at the top floor of her flat.
When the door opened again, a strange instinct beckoned her to follow the flitting moth out of the lift, towards the rooftop access trapdoor, which she was surprised to find unlocked.
Grateful that she could still somehow manage to squeeze through the gap at her age, she stood atop the dimly-lit roof area … to be confronted by the shocking sight of unspeakable graffiti sprayed all across the surrounding walls.
Her yell startled the hooded figure who was about to put the finishing touches to his latest “artwork” at the opposite end of the roof area.
For what felt like a long time, her words seemed to carry the persuasive weight of an electron as they faced each other tensely in the semi-darkness, with the hood keeping the culprit’s identity firmly under wraps.
Finally, the hood was pulled back to reveal a youthful face, with eyes glinting with immense sadness under the random lights from adjacent flats.
His voice began to tremble.
His finger tightened on the nozzle of his spray can.
Visibly agitated, he raised and waved his can high in the air.
Inevitably, like a scene straight out of a Hong Kong Police Negotiator drama, she interjected just as he was about to press the nozzle to release a lethal spray of red mist on the poor wall.
2014 June Holiday Intensive Sessions
Each year in June, fellow students from all over Singapore, many whom are in a similar situation as yours, gather at my Temple for a month of June Holiday intensive small group sessions for Science and Mathematics.
In these intensive revision sessions, they’ll channel all energy towards mastering their foundation and concepts so as to adequately prepare themselves for the second-half (for some, the penultimate leg) of the academic year, as well as banish the shadows of their mid-year exam grief and correct the sort of injustice you’ve felt.
The schedule, if you are interested, is here.
Upon her pleading, the spray can was lowered, and his voice softened.
As he slowly stepped away from the wall to pass her the spray can, there was one more thing on his troubled mind.
*Picks up mobile phone and calls Mr Esa*
Note: While this story is obviously fictitious, the experiences of the youth vandal were collated from actual students.
