Answer 1

I can recall a lot of stuff, including my 6 months old trip to London... anyway, here are the 'scars' that I carry with me...

At 4, I had a 'hobby' of collecting drain animals... like fish, tadpoles (and managed to keep them until they morphed into frogs!), frogs, eels and other kinds of fishes! (including guppies and occasionally a Climbing Perch (Puyu)!...)

At 5-6, slapped by my kindergarten teacher for 'spilling' my water, classmate used pencil to stab and scratch on my face (I still have a visible but not too obvious scar)...

7, first year of primary school... I was a good artist... mum sent me to art school and I've picked up Taekwondo and Karate from dad cos' I was often bullied in school and being 'picked' on by senior kids.

7-8, sent to Mandarin class (POL class in school) but I left after a few days of study cos' of abuses hurled at me by that psychopath 'teacher' who caned me over and over for writing the 'wrong' Chinese strokes until one day I tore my books and punched a classmate who made fun of me.

The 'teacher' said to me "aren't you proud to learn Chinese? You're Chinese and you have to know Chinese!"

I said to her "I'm NOT Chinese and I am not proud to learn Chinese, I don't even know my own mother tongue! It was my mum forced me to come to your stupid class!"
(these words still etched in my mind until today and I can't forget that fateful day that I never had to step into another STUPID Chinese class ever again in my life!)...

Frankly, I'd prefer studying Japanese Katakana and Hiragana at my own pace, but when I came across Kanji... I paused for a moment and discontinued... (go figure!)

---I still remember hearing meditation discourses from my late grandma, Mae Chee Khoo (Acharya Khemavati), who was a Buddhist nun and a meditation master... I have been following her until the day she passed away, though I never seriously learned anything from her but her teachings became more prominent upon the event of her death, when the thoughts of those words she said to me and her students just rushed into my emotions as I watched her taking her last breath... (and I became a monk one year after her passing away)

Answer 3

Here's a story.I'm in kindergarten and the kids and I are coloring a pictures of jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. I am one of those who finish first so I go to my kindergarten teacher,Mrs Rose and I keep asking her," Mrs. Rose, I'm finished. What do I do with it." A frustrated Mrs. Rose says, YOU TAKE IT HOME. I lived across the street from school and it was right after lunch, the door was open, so literally, I walk out and go home. My surprised mother asked, "What am I doing home?" I said," my teacher told me to take this home." I give her the picture and go to my room to play.
The next morning, when we are all sitting in a circle, the teacher does roll call and when I answer, she balls me out for leaving school. The kids are all looking at me wide -eyed and I just shrug my shoulders because she said to take it home.

Answer 4

someone dying, mom getting hit, goin to school, being broke, dad not being there, falling into a pool, flying to america, going to the dentist, car crash, only aloud to watch tv on weekends which sucked cuz back then their was nothing to do, and when i did watch tv watched passions and days of our lives with my bro/sis, trying to smoke(did not workout very well so now i kno better), getting stiches on my chin, shaving off my eyebrows, cutting of my eyelashes, going to pennsylvania, stealing stuff, much more.

i was a pretty bad/stupid kid you could say, but im completely different now, but its funny how back then the only thing you worried about was the paint in your fingers from fingerpainting, and even at that, some of us still didnt care.
