I am born in the year of monkey.
When I am about 2 years old, I had a major operation on my stomach. Heard from my mum that I only have 50% of chance to live in this world. Regardless the result was, my parent decided to push me into the operation room. I spent abt more than 5 hrs in the operation room. Finally the operation is over, and of course you should know the result.
You may want to know if the operation is painful. Erm...I was only 2 year old then. So basically I forgot how it felt already. Guess it is a painful one. So I started my study life in the nursery but I did not complete it. I was crying until my teacher cannot take it and asked my mum to take me out from the nursery.
Next, I carry on with my kindergarden. Nothing much, just start to recognise ABC alphabate. So there goes my kindergarden. Then I proceed to my primary school(Charlton). Been smooth throughout my Pri 1, 2, 3 and 4. But there comes the problem Pri 5, I totally failed my papers(All red marks).
I told a lied to my mum that I did not get back my report book. Cause I am fear that she will cane me. So I lied to her about the report book. Next day, I told her that I left the book in the school. Then my elder brother ride me back to the primary sch and take. But it was locked when we got there. When I got home, I thought nothing happened who knows my mum managed to found my report book in my "Art and Craft" plastic bag. There's where all the wacking on my tights and my whole body got wounds and cane marks. She even throw me out of the house and asked me not to step into the house again. Even worst than that, mum prepared a needle and tread to sew my mouth as I lied to her.
In the end, she still accepted that I have failed my level and need to extend my studies in the primary school for another year. So in total I studied 7 years in primary school. I skip Primary 5, I went on to Pri 7E and 8E(PSLE). After that I did quite ok for my PSLE, I manage to carry on to my Secondary School life. I managed to pass all my papers in my Sec 1 and Sec 2 in Serangoon Sec Sch. Then I forced to make a transfered to my new Sec. school call Pioneer as I have shifted my house from Hougang to Jurong. Don't know am I lucky or what? I made it through my Sec 3 and Sec 4 but failed badly in my Sec 5 O levels.
I did not retake my O level. I went straight into NS life where the enviroment changes me. Everything change; my attitude towards life, people, work and many more..... As not to let my mum and dad down again. I went into ITE and took up a course on Electronic in Computer Technology. My aim is to get into Polytechnic. I strived hard to get as high marks as possible.
I did very well within my 2 years in ITE. How well? I am able to get into a course in Singapore Polytechnic. That is how well I did. I managed to skip a 1 year course in ITC(then called) which is offered to me.
And here I am talking about my life that I had been through since I was young. Though is been briefly summarise to you. But you have to remember one thing, I been through all these is through years and years.
So I treasure everything that I have learnt and try to apply in my daily life.
.:Not to give up, one day you will be like me:.
