The autobiography of the MIGHTY Tan Xin Yuan
I was born in 1996, 30th April. In the same year on September, I started crawling and sitting on my own. Not long after, I learnt to stand and touch things around me. "Itchy hands", my mum called it. After a month, I took my first steps and my mum had a hard time catching me when I was busy running about. My mum said that I had always crawled about when my mum wasn't noticing and I would be very proud of myself. Then, my mum would catch me and suddenly lift me from the floor. I would have been so surprise and start crying out loud till my mother put me back onto the floor.
As a baby, I had always cried even when it was a small matter. I remember celebrating my first birthday in 1997 at the Zoo. I was so excited that I wandered about without anyone seeing me. Then, I got lost and started crying. My LOUD crying attracted so much attention, which kind of caught my mother's attention too. My mother has always complained that I make so much noise that the people around me had stared at me with wierd expressions on my face. In the pictures, I was so fat and chubby and CUTE! :D
I started going to childcare in 1998 and made many friends. On the first day I went to the childcare, I was so afraid that I was alone and started crying until the helpers at the childcare gave me "fruit loops". However, I cried louder after seeing the little amount the helpers gave. They called me sly...
Soon after, I mastered the art of making my way to the toilet without wetting my pants, which was quite a feat as I had never made it in time no matter how close I was to the toilet. The first time I made it to the toilet, my parents were clapping so loudly and happily when I came out. It was probably because they didn't need to change my nappies anymore.
One of the most sad things that happened in my life was the loss of my favourite "Tutu"(the pacifier) I cried and cried for so long and my mum had nothing to do as the pacifier was gone.
In a few years, I left childcare and started kindergarden. During the grduation day, I performed as a sailor. Amazingly, I had changed from a happy cheerful girl to a sad girl who had always frowned. However, the thing that made me the happiest during my kindergarden days was winning my first prize, first in colouring contest. Although that prize was so easy to achieve, I was so happy and was grinning like mad when I skipped up the stage.
In 2003, I started primary school in Henry Park. I made many new friends there and started smiling more often. A few months later, my mother forced me to play the piano, which I really hated. Once, I was so angry that my mother had made me play the piano that I pulled the keys out. My mother gave me a HUGE scolding.
The following year, I started learning all sorts of sports such as badminton, swimming and table-tennis. My favourite sport was badminton and my dad trained me every week. All the training helped and I got into badminton school team the next year.
In 2006, I got my first scolding from my form teacher Ng Sook Fern. However, the scolding helped and I started liking her in a odd way, a liking I never had from any of the teachers that had taught me before. A year later, I mastered the art of disturbing my teachers and making them SOOOOOOO hot. Inside, that is. My teachers have always considered me as a nuisance although somehow, I feel like they enjoy it. :P
I changed my seat on 2008. :) Yay!
Umm...to be continued?
