Every now and then I like to sit down and think about my childhood, to be honest when I was a kid I didn't like playing with toys or watch cartoons. Instead of cartoons I liked watching the daily news, I can still remember sitting next to my grandaunt every night at 9 am to watch the news with her. Every time I finished watching the news my mum would ask me for the latest developments from Singapore and around the globe. I also enjoyed reading when I was younger, due to watching the news every night my vocabulary was good which assisted me in reading.
I enjoyed socializing around with people for fun, I became good friends with all the teachers in the school. I exposed my good social skills so they chose me to represent the school at countless events. I had the honor of having my picture on the magazine and newspaper. I was labeled as the superstar of the school LOL.
Now, my childhood might seem like a dream come true for most. But there's a part of my childhood that wasn't pretty. I tried really hard to fit in with my own age group but they rejected me so every Chinese new year, I would hide in my room and cry. All my relatives would come into my room and ask me why are you crying? I did not respond them. But there was one cousin of mine that talked to me, we found that we had a few things in common. The both of us enjoy reading, my aunt was my mum's insurance agent from AIA. My cousin would come for his weekly visits to my house, during his visit we would read a book together. There was one time we went to the discovery centre together it was one of my best childhood memories. My childhood had it's ups and downs, but it was enjoyable childhood See You :)
