My Life (Part 1)
Well, it dawns to me that now I seem to blog about what I does on
every weekend. Today's going to be different though. I'm going personal today and most of you should know. I will talk about my life.
Ever since young, my sister would tell me how she spent her childhood in a big family. I have to agree that the living standard in the past was not as now. Imagine living in a kampong, not much entertainment and no flushing system in the toilets. But then it was a perfect growing up environment for me. Since the whole family lived together, there was much interaction between my relatives. Children would play in muddy fields, catch frogs or fish and swim naked in ponds. Well, self-made entertainment and being close to nature itself. According to my late mother, I managed to
enjoy 2 months of this lifestyle before I moved to a HDB flat. This lifestyle also made what my sister is now. She's simple-minded and can be pretty naive to a lot of things
(Luckily....she don't know I have a blog... ^^).Every year when I celebrate my birthday in any form, I'm also celebrating something else's birthday.
MY HDB FLAT! Okay...I'm not on dope. But I do have a special affection to my little haven. The flat has seen me through my life, my sorrow and my tribulations. In the past, my mom worked as a freelance babysitter and she once had this little girl. We were studying in different schools and she would come to my house after school till her mother came to fetch her home. You can also say we were childhood playmates as she was with us for a long while. We would build our own
fortress with towels tied at the ends and tied to the door knobs of the bedrooms. We share our toys, play together and she was pretty much like family to me. We even wrote our names on pillars facing each other. Well, frankly...if I think of it now...my 1st
crush?
All good things have to come to an end. I had an accident and I believed her mom felt that it was her fault. The girl left after that accident. One fine day, we were playing "Ghost" and I was the ghost. I had this towel covering my head and I was supposed to chase after her. A fact that I could still see what was ahead of me even though it was not totally transparent. I chased after her and I rammed my head into the hinge of the door frame. Well, I was a playful kid... The next thing I could remember was that my mom was carrying me to the clinic downstairs with the towel pressed on my head then nothing. I also remembered waiting in the clinic with my mom and my eldest sister
(Now married...). Then I found myself at home with a bandage above my right eye. I eventually saw that towel. It was blood-stained. To tell the truth, I will feel like vomitting every time I think about it...so I don't feel good right now. The award from that accident? A scar on my eyebrow and a very "sensitive" right eye. Erm...I don't see dead people if you are thinking about that but I do sense them. I'm not your normal Singaporean...lol
(Adapted from someone...).This haven was once a cell for me. Four solid walls and only a way out. My parents had the key. This is kinda expected as I am the only son. My freedom was kinda restricted within the house radius. I would envy my classmates of being able to go to play together even not in school. The only times with them were in schools or outings. My only entertainment at home were the toys that I had and I would actually dub voices to them to make them
alive. I was indeed lonely. Luckily, that girl was around and I thank her for making my life happier. After she left, my life went into complete darkness. I became much quieter than before. That's when my sister decided to get me a game console and it totally changed my life forever. But it only kinda filled up that void inside me. It became my only entertainment. Nothing else interested me anymore.
I kinda opened up when I was in secondary school. Maybe it was due to the fact that all my friends in primary school were separated into different schools and I wanted to find new friends soon. But I was naive and conservative then. I was in a notorious school and everything was pretty much complicated for me to understand. I carried this thinking during my time there.."If I treat someone good, I will get the same treatment back." Of course, I got a shock when this thought backfired on me. Along the way, I became more offensive. That's when I got into trouble with some of my classmates. Well, they were hostile to me in the 1st place. I became a target of bullying but I kinda proved I wasn't affected at all by acting indifferent. But the funny thing is when I meet up with them nowadays...they are apologetic about what happened then. Well, who was never rebellious during his/her youth?
I have to thank the heavens that I met quite a few special people. Other than the
bengs and
lians, I met a couple of interesting people along the way. My class had some foreign students and I befriended one of them. Bruce Wong. We would try to trash each other in Sega Rally Championship in the arcade. Then there's this guy. He shocked everyone with his debut appearance by going around and saying hello to total strangers. Well, he's good-looking and a heart-throb to the gals in the school. Was my class monitor. A excellent runner and swimmer. Had his own band before and acted in the teen drama
Spin. Voted as one of the most wanted bachelors in Cleo in the past. Does a song in the local movie Chicken Rice War. He's none other than Shayn Phua! Well, he's way too cool. ^^
(To be continued...)
Okay....I went to my usual hideout as usual. Had dinner then home sweet home.
TADA! I love to be short and sweet. (^^,)>>
