I still can remember the day where something unusual and unlucky thing that happened to me.I almost died in that incident.I was primary 4 then and i was walking home from school.I had a terrible stomachache and nothing came out when i went to toilet several times.The whole day i groaned over it until my guardian felt unsafe and brought me to hospital.
The doctor asked me which part of the stomach hurt.i told him that the right side of the stomach hurt and he told me that it was the appendix that was causing the pain.He told me that i had to go for a operation straight away,before it gets too late and the appendix 'burst'.
It all happened so fast.I was laid on the movable bed and was pushed into operating room and that was all i remembered until i found myself on the bed with my mom crying beside me.She flew all the way from Korea when she heard the news.She was so shocked and sad to see it happening all in sudden.After 3 days i was out of the hospital but still was not able to daily activities properly without help.
The Doctor told me that i almost could have died if i was one day late and wait till the appendix 'burst'.He also told me that it happened on me because i ate too much of instant noodle and fried stuff.Though appendix will not happen to a person twice but i had learnt to eat less of these food.
It had been 6 years since i had been separated from my parents because i am studying in Singapore while they are in Korea.So i do not really remember moments with them very much.But among those i remember,the most moment that i enjoyed the most is when i went to the zoo in Korea.
I was around 7 or 8 years old then...My brother and i were really excited about the plan of going to the zoo.My mom packed lunch boxes while my dad searched the location of the zoo in the map.I was very eager to see my favorite animal the Lion.It was also the first time i went to the zoo which doubled the excitement.
In the zoo,i saw marine animals in a show like dolphins,penguins and seals.They were well trained and were very skillful.I also was abled to touch the mighty anaconda.I still can remember it,it was jelly like.I was very scared then.The best thing i did in the zoo,was to take pictures with my favorite animal,the lion.
I long for the good old days where now my family is all separated now.Maybe one day,i hope all my family will be united again.
I came to Singapore when i was 11 years old.Being used to be with my parents,I was scared all alone with my brother to be away from them.I could not speak English then.My parents sent us for education purposes so only my bother and i were in Singapore while they are back in Korea.I took tests to get in to a primary school.Taking without knowing English made me fail all the tests but mathematics.I was able to get into the school with my mathematics results but one grade lower...
Coping with the people in the school was not easy as well.I was not able to say anything except the simple ones like 'Hi' and 'Thank you'.Being a foreigner and also being a over aged person,i had many difficulties in school.I had no friends at first until i met another foreign and also over aged boy.He was from China.He helped me out alot in both in school and out side the school.I also had some problems with the CCA in school due to my age.Since i was over aged,i could not go into the CCA that i wanted because i were age limitations and i could not do anything about it.
After months i made lots more friends and now i am in Victoria School with many friends...but no CCA...
Today was Chinese New Year.It was unusual compared to other days.I am not a Chinese,but i some how celebrate it with my friends.In school we had lessons for only until 9.30a.m.After the lessons,all of the students went to the hall for celebration of the Chinese new year.We had lots of performances like Chinese Orchestra performing,B-Boys dancing and a play made by Chinese department.The best thing i liked the most of the performances was the B-Boys dancing.The group was consist of 7 people,but only 2 of them new how to dance while the rest 5 of them dance as 'girls'.Though 5 of them were not very good,the other 2 were very good!They even use Korean Songs to dance!!!!But the bad thing about the performance today was that the whole play made by Chinese department was all in Chinese.So people like me,who cant speak Chinese,will not be able to understand anything and just sit down there and shake leg.
After the celebration in the hall,the school ended and it was about 12noon.Then i rushed to my previous primary school to see some of my friends and the teachers.So i spent the day meeting people.
That's all i did.
