felt at the time I had to relay the information back to the
person concerned, as I felt the situation volitile, did this

professor entered the class right in the middle of it .  I was
unaware of her presence, some of my friends tried to warn me but
it was of no avail as I was too engrossed in mimicing.  Then I
suddenly noticed the silence and turned around to see her

friends of the departing person(person A), were playing mahjong.
Some others were playing bridge and A had nothing to do, besides
it was A who had prepared the food.  Later when we wanted to talk

these coins into the box meant to collect the bus fair.  I
thought that I had paid and wanted to get inside.  However the
bus driver called me and asked me in an impolite way if the coins
were stuck at the opening  of the box.  He had not seen me paying
and there wasn't a stack of coins in the box.  I could not
understand this and the driver kept questioning me.  He made me
feel angry and at last i inserted a dollar coin in the box just

he was a nonsensical person. Once when we went to a friend's

he should not have behaved like that.  I was very angry (as it is
I was in a bad mood then).",

parents.   I regreted this as my nephew was only two years old and I
