The fighting cock (part 4)

by: henry

With times heavily on hand before night class started, I would go for a beer or two. For theory, we combined with trainees from company 'A'. We were the noisy lots, more like a market-place rather than a class. The instructor intervened. He said, 'for those who are not interested, you can do whatever you like, just don't disturb those who are interested.' Hearing that, I pulled for myself another chair, lying flat...for a nap. On seeing that, he was furious.

Instructor : 'Henry, what are you doing?

Henry : 'sleeping!'

Instructor : 'who says you can sleep?'

Henry : 'you just said so! Sleeping does not generate any disturbance.?

Instructor : 'by that, I don't mean you can sleep!........'

I noticed that quite a number of trainees in front were looking to their right, towards the door. Standing over there was a tough guy looking all over the class trying to fish out who the trouble-maker was.

Some trainees urged the instructor to continue with the lessons. With backers around, he said he wanted to continue.....lashing at me mercilessly. I was left a poor soul without any chances of retaliating. For once, 'the fighting cock' became a lamed duck. I lose the battle not to a kung-fu master but a strict disciplinary master.

    Thank you so much for your kind comments on my blog. When you said, \"I lose the battle not to a kung - fu master, but a strict disciplinary master\" almost makes me think that life is so ironic constantly. At least you choose your battles wisely. =)

    *hugs*



    You\'re such a great person
