Growing up..

My nephew, Georger is now in Primary One, learning very much to deal with school life & classmates. Whom were slightly 'different' from his PAP school mates. Just few days ago i ask him how was school & is he nice to his classmates? He replied 'yes' but followed this: " But they don treat Georger nice leh.." It was that a boy hit him on his head with a bottle on purpose & even scolded him "Stupid". Being a 'Bao Toh Gai' (dialect saying of a person who loves to report matters up..) as we taught him to be instead of taking matters into own hands, he reports to the teacher. Well, that's a small chapter in school. However, he seems not to be making new friends yet, having to play during recess times only with ex-PAP friend(s). He always appeared smiley when asked about school which makes me wonder if its really fine. Sure i wouldn't hope for the opposite but if its any case of keeping matters or feelings up, that's not healthy.
That led to remind me of a similar past. I do NOT have any close or good friend in primary school. I don't know why..
I'm always rushing to be the first to buy before other kids are release from class. So what does it matters? I eat alone, I tried to join others kids for a lunch sometimes even with the Malay girls. I'm not in any 'gang', cant 'join' one, so naturally i felt awkward seeing that they don enjoy an extra company... I'm not a loner. I do play games with the others but thats it... hmm. what else? Perhaps i tried to win @ games or was it i wanted attention to proved myself that i tried so.. Don't remember. My whole of six years! Oh.. so much that i almost lost it again when i went Secondary.. I snipped off my friend's hair in class! I thought it would be funny! I didn't realise i was just too mischievous.... opened the cubical door when my friend was in it!... All these nonsense... Gladly, the same group of friends talked me over it... a year later they said i've changed!! Yahooooo!
To this days, i'm proud we're still together.. 10 years of friendships. Cheers!
