Today, i woke up early as i have planned to settle some documents in the government department. Since i have a lunch appointment with my supervisor and so, i planned to settle my documents in the morning. My mom felt surprise that i even woke up that early..hahahaha...ok, back to my main topic, I took my breakfast and made my time to go out. I planned to go to the police station to get the signature of the officer since it stated in my document that it needs to be certified by the government servant. Once i reached there at 10am, i walked gracefully into the police station and requested politely to one of the officers to ask him to certify all my documents. Wow, of course i was happy since all the procedures went on smoothly and by the time i felt happy that i can settle my things earlier, damn, here comes the problem,
the officer said :" where should i sign your document?"
I said:" Sir, here it is."
" Erm, ok, since it mentioned that it needs the signature from different group of government servant and my grade is different of what you requested, i don't think i can help you to sign on it, you better look for someone else to sign it for you."
" Oh no no no, sir, it stated only this grade and above and i believe you grade is higher than what is requested, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to sign for me."
" Ok, i understand your situation but still for a secure site, you better take your documents and get the signature from someone else, erm, a principal is good to sign for you."
" Erm, ok, sir, in that case, i will turn to the principal then, thanks for your time."
" Ok, sure. remember to take back all your relevant documents."
" Ok, yes, sir and goodbye sir."
Oh, as what I have worried about, how can things move smoothly for me, sure there are somethings that stop me from finishing it. Ok, here it is. I can't get the signature easily and i need to find the principal of my old school to sign on it. Without any hesitation, i drove back to my old school and walked into the gate where i have not stepped in for a few years time. By that time i reached, it was the recess time and all the teachers and principal were having meeting, i waited in the office and remembered back all those good old school days. Wow, my school changed a lot, even the office has been renovated and fully air conditioned, last time, it was so hot and stuffy inside the office but now, things changed and improved a lot. I saw the teachers' name on the name board, half of it, i don't even know who is he or she. All are new names to me.
While i was still soaking in my good old days memories, here came in an aunty, erm, i shall said, a new face. I thought she must be a new clerk or new teacher. Oh my, to my surprise, she walked straight into the principal room and sat down on the high back chair!! Oh no, only then i remembered my sister told me once that my last time principal has already retired!!
I walked into her room, knocked on the door and said: "Good morning principal, i would like you to help me to sign on a document and to certify some documents as well. Can i come in by the way?"
" Oh, good morning, come on in. So, are you student of PGS?"
" Yea, I was a student here and graduated in year 2004."
" Wow, have you came back to school before? why i have not seen you? students are normally like that, only come back to ask us to help her to sign on some documents but never really come back to school."
Oh damn, that's the main reason why i don't really want to go back to school at first and ask school teacher to sign for me!! They tend to tell me that i am like 无事不登三宝殿 and make me feel speechless..totally speechless at that moment....
Ok, fine. I know that the consequence of not keeping contact with your old school and you will get some response like that. However, school is still a school, it acts like a mother, no matter what you have done to her and still she will accept you as whom you are. The principal helped me to sign on my documents and told me some good words. Phew, that's it. done! I get the signature of my principal on my documents, I managed to certify all my documents and let's send it out! one thing is done! thank god.
