Footsteps (Chapter Two, Part 1)

Credits: Wall Street Journal

In 1997, I remembered I was sent to school. Still remember how my dad cheated me that he couldn't got me registered in Hin Hua Primary and he's sending me to STAR. I have no idea what the difference between two, and I thought, what harms me as long as I got to continue my study? Yes, a 7 years old girls, yet acted so matured. It's just the mother nature of Aquarius, isn't it?

So it comes to orientation day, dad for being dad, he forgot about that. I remember myself sitting in the car on my way to shopping, I saw the school open and heard my dad said, 'why is the school open today?' And then he got shocked and said 'It's her orientation day!!!' I didn't go to the school as well because I don't have my uniform yet, and yeah, we went shopping. So happy go lucky family!

Then, it comes to my first day of school. I still remember how I was told to take the school bus to school in my first day of school. Stupid enough, I just got into the bus and know nothing about the stops and where to go. I don't know where the guts come from, I just ask anyone in the bus and she brought me to where I should go. Gahhhhh~ cruel right they do this to an innocent little girl? Then I saw my dad waiting for me in the school. For revenge, I chose to ignore him wtf. We then proceed to the classroom and he got me officially registered and got all thing settled because we skipped orientation for shopping. My dad was smart, he introduced me to someone in the class and told me to just follow her during my tea break, THEN HE LEFT! Later I got to know my dad had got this trauma on 'ceramah' because he's so busy he got no time to stay there. His phone will be ringing all the while and disturbing others so he chose not to go in. Angry and scared, I said no words. I don't know where this no crying thingy came into my life, but I just don't cry! There's no reason for me to not cry because he'll definitely stay, but I just don't *stupidity attacked and act miss independent* What I can do is just to follow my new friend everywhere, and the good thing is her mother is taking good care of me :)

Having the trauma from first day, all my grandmother got the second day is a crying me that reject to go school. Anyhow, things got better as time pass. I had got friends, I had got my aunt taking care of me (she's in standard 6). The most exciting part of my life during standard 1 is to see my elder sister finish school and wave frantically at her when she's coming down from the staircase. Very WTF, but I just got excited when I see my sister! And the second excited thing is Children day, because we got lots of snacks and we don't need to study.

When there's love, there'll be hate as well. What I hate the most is when there's music test. I had got a guy in my class where he laugh at everyone who go in front to sing. He's stupid to do that because he was one of the last few to go, and when he stepped in front, the whole class laughed at him. See, never ever do stupid things when you're alone and your opponent have so many. Bad, but satisfying. And, this is where I learned to have fun for the rest of my primary life.
