Part 2 (1993 – 1994)
— First Turning Point —
i always tot IF.. and IF ONLY.. i could speak out to say i din wana leave my home at all.. why din i speak out? again.. i juz wana let my dad be assured i’m being taken care of.. i juz din wana be a burden to my dad at tat kinda time.. so i juz listened to him to let me go stay at aunts’ hse.. but for the rest of my Pri4.. Peiyu’s family helped out alot.. they took care of me after sch.. i will go back with Peiyu to her hse together.. do homework together.. eat together.. then until at nite my dad wil fetch me.. this only lasted rest of my Pri 4.. at Pri 5, i was transferred out.. i remembered.. my last day.. was at the hall of naval base.. i din really bid farewell to all.. i guess many of them wil find it quite strange why i suddenly disappeared..

I went to Pei Tong Pri Sch.. at Clementi.. every weekend, my dad wil drive me back home.. and sunday nite drive me back again.. during tat time.. i drifted away frm my family.. coz we dun stay together.. we dunno wads gg on in each others’ lives.. i onli noe.. my bro was in Taiwan for NS.. and we always write letters.. but my poor dad.. he’s all alone.. he muz hav gone thru alotta bad times.. but i cant do anything.. i din do anythin either..

why did i call this my turning point? bcoz i think this period moulded my present character greatly.. i think i lead a totally different lifestyle over there.. from being the youngest, i became the elder one.. from havin an elder bro.. i suddenly had a sister and younger bro.. HuiQiong and Si’an.. from a chinese speaking environment.. i started listening to Teochew.. instead of sleepin early at nite.. and stayin behind doors of my home.. the ppl there.. they meet downstairs everynite.. my aunt wil gather with the neighbours and those aunties-frenz.. at void deck.. while we.. the kids.. will group together and play badminton, catching, volleyball, etc.. hahaa.. then go home and bathe then sleep.. hahaa.. of coz i faced quarrels and scoldings over there.. but i know it best.. my aunt treated me very good.. reali nice.. everythin she gave her kids, she will give me too.. i stil remember my uncle bought back a few blue armchairs oneday.. and i even drew 5 small hearts with liquidpaper on the seat to differentiate my chair.. hahaa.. Huiqiong’s drew 1 heart.. hahaa.. so farnie.. the chair is still going strong at her hse now!! hahaa.. well.. though my aunt treated me very well.. but i felt bad.. coz sometimes.. i can tell.. she scolds her kids but not me.. back then at tat moment.. i guessed her kids muz hav hated me.. haha.. but we had more good times together too.. Huiqiong and i were juz like sisters.. ppl even say we look alike.. haaa… maybe bcoz her mum and my dad were twins? hahaa.. hmmm we sleep on mattress in a room together.. basically did many things together.. yea she reminded me.. we fight too.. hahaa.. even though we are in different classes.. well.. we did silly things like writing dairies together.. then exchanging them to read after tat.. ahhaaa..

but of coz theres a period where i turned abit ‘rebellious’.. din wana go home straight after sch.. but i still know my limits.. i mixed with my new frenz there.. got to know some frenz frm sec. sch.. while i was stil in Pri.6.. hahaa.. but the lucky thing is.. i got to noe some real nice friends and teachers(i onli remember Mrs Wong and Mr Cai) there.. hence lucky i din lead to astray.. i merely got more active.. coz i joined basketball.. hahaa.. the coach (Mr Cai) was my chinese teacher too.. he doted me alot alot.. he was biased.. but towards me.. hahaa.. i was allowed to go off early for his remedial lessons.. so tat i can prepare for the basketball session after tat.. he even made me the captain.. hahahaha but then.. all this was juz for fun la.. we nv took part in any competitions.. the most onli within sch compound.. ahahaha yea.. i still remember.. the day i took BCG injection.. everyone say how pain how pain it was.. but i din feel a single thing.. coz i juz lost a basketball match.. =D lose liao stil so happy.. -.-

hahaa.. oh theres somethin else i remembered.. Peiyu.. for the first time.. she wrote me a letter to my aunt’s hse! ahaha.. attached her own id-size photo.. and asked me how was my life.. when i received tat letter.. i felt warm.. truely warm at heart.. really.. duno how to describe tat feeling.. frm then, during weekends when i’m home, she wil pop over my hse too.. haha..

it was a totally differnt lifestyle i lead-ed.. oso duno how i did it.. how come i can adapt so well in such a different environment? though adapted very well.. but i stil longed to go home…

— Back Home —
Finalli.. PSLE was over.. mayb i played too much.. hahaa.. so i din achieve a v.high aggregate.. onli 210pts.. can only bring me back to Yishun Sec.. i cant go to anywhere like Cedar Girls.. the top choice my bro put for me.. hahaha but aniwae lucky i din get in there oso.. keke.. studyin in Yishun Sec, good thing is.. finally.. i can come back and sleep my very own bed.. my very own home.. Home Sweet Home.. i stepped into another ‘Era’ of my life..
