Butterfly

I had a funny dream last night. It was set in an examination hall in my old primary school, Fairfield Methodist Pri Sch. I was taking a chinese exam paper. Although in pri sch, exams were conducted in the classrooms, this paper was conducted in hall with every other students from the same level. Gosh.. it was a really tough exam paper and I had problems answering the questions. It seemed as if i had never taken a chinese paper or i hadn't prepared for it at all.
Half way through the paper, a butterfly flew in. It was black with blue patterns on it. Everyone was quite startled by it as it seemed injured. It flew around the hall before landing on the ground, trying desperately to flap its wings to lift off. But to no avail. All the kids were screaming, but somehow, I was rather calm. I took out a plastic bag and scooped the butterfly off from the ground. I requested from the examiner to let me out of the exam hall so that i can release the butterfly.
I can remember my school pretty well. I remember seeing the corridors that i used to run around. The staircases that seemed endlessly high. I went pass the porch, past the office, into the sheltered walkway beside the vollyball court where we used to play frisbee. Here I opened the bag and the butterfly flapped its wings and took flight. I was amazed that the butterfly could actually fly.
I got back to the exam hall and the examiner gave me an extra 20min to do the paper. But it was weird as I had completed less than half the paper!! And there was still the comprehension passage passage to complete! OH NO!! Somewhere in the paper i rem seeing a 72 or 76 in red mark. Got to buy 4D liaoz. =)
I dunno the final result for that paper. But i rem the times in pri schoo. How carefree we were...

Are U the butterfly?
