Story 1

memorable youth days

The 5 years of my youth was spent in my cca, National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) in secondary school. When I was in secondary 1, during the cca recruit, my good friend pulled me to put NPCC as first choice because her cousin was a senior in it & she feels comfortable joining a cca that there is a familiar person. However my initial choice of joining ST. JOHN AMBULANCE was placed as my second choice. I got into NPCC & my journey starts.
at the younger & tender age of 12, I was very shy, soft spoken & dare not voice out my opinion or express anything openly. However NPCC “forces” us to be enthusiastic. Many times we were expected to cheer loudly & command a squad of 40 people. It was through the years that I grew to be more open, noisy, daring, talkative & is able to convey my message in front of countless people. When I was 15 years old, I was selected to be in-charge of many committees in NPCC. I have learnt many survival skills, leadership skills as well as to be discipline. I have learnt the most important lesson in life- dare to be myself. Devoting 5 years of my life to NPCC has brought me closer to many good friends. Up till now, I can say that it was NPCC and the friends that I made there that mould my character & gave me so much wonderful memories that is worth reminiscing.

Story 2

Transformation of life

It was after knowing my Lord Jesus Christ that changed me into who I am today. In the past, I was an angry girl. I was easily angered, impatient, short tempered & I seldom smile. However after knowing whom Jesus is & accepting him in my life, my life was totally change. I start to realize how bad a person I am, my conscious kept prompting me whenever I treat others badly. One of the Ten Commandments in the bible was to love your neighbour as yourself and after knowing it, I strive to follow & obey this law that my God set. I came to a realization that my ways displeases God & I ought to repent & seek forgiveness.
Also, I felt the peace within me. This peace that my God gave surpasses all understanding. I felt the inner joy & happiness. Due to this, I became a happier person. I am no longer easily angered, impatient & short tempered. On the other hand, I became a very cheerful and happy girl. I seldom get angry with others & im often seen smiling. In contrary, I don’t even get angry whenever people poke fun, tease me or offended me.

Story 3

Broken family

Just when I was enjoying the time of my life, things took a change. I was from a very blissful family that stayed in Malaysia. I stayed in a three-storey terrace house with my parents & 2 other siblings. My parents own two cars and we own a dog, a cat & 2 hamsters. Our family travels around Malaysia visiting places like Sunway lagoon, strawberry park, port Dickson & genting twice a year! I was sent to many classes and learnt many skills. I attended gymnastic, ballet, taek kuan doo, organ class, badminton, abacus, art class & Chinese calligraphy class. Basically we had everything every child could wish for.
However, when I was at the age of eight years old, my mother discover that my dad was having a mistress outside. After that, my dad seldom come home & they quarrel whenever they meet. After a year of tolerance, my mum decided to bring all three of us back with her to Singapore & file for a divorce with my dad. The nightmare starts then. I mother single handedly raise all three of us, playing multiple roles- working, tutoring us & doing the housework. Though my father in the past do visit us on every festival & birthdays, we were still reluctant to stay with him. The torture came when my parents were fighting for the custody of us. At the end of the year, occasionally my dad wants us to spend time with him in Malaysia. Seeing my dad becoming a total change man, helping out in the housework & even making meals for us saddens me. I could remember 4years ago when we went over to Malaysia for holiday, we stayed with my dad, stepmother & step siblings. My sister & I was very upset & bitter that we cried every night in that 10 days. We could not understand why our dad had left our mum alone, not loving her and us as much as how he showers his love on my stepmother & step siblings. The worst thing is we were expected to have fun & play with “the one who stole our dad away”.

Story 4

inferiority

since young ive been feeling very inferior. my older brother & younger sister have always been very smart and i dont seem as intellecture as them. my characteristic have always been very different compared to my siblings and friends. i am a slow learner and teachers and parents tend to spend more time teaching and explaining to me. Being overweight, it made me very clumsy. many times i fall, trip, drop things, spill things and have never been doing things the right way as it should turn out. my childhood life does not contain much good memorise because of my physical features, many friends dislike being with me and therefore i didnt have much friends. thus i did not like growing up as i know that due to my many physical and character flaws, more people will despise me in the future. however while growing up, i realise that it is not the end of the world. things have changed for the better and i finally found a place where i belong.
