My childhood life
How was it before? I was born in a posh part of town, rich, classy life, I had it. I was sent to good schools, really good one, top 10 in the whole state. My classmates are mostly rich kids, most of them have maids at home and some are even driven home by drivers, not their dad or mum. An affluent society I would say. My house was a big one, and I've a maid at home too. Luxurius huh? But was it satisfying? Not really. My parents were busy people. You hear this in most families, either rich or poor. But that was part of life. Boring...
All this stuff seems not important to me. So what if you're rich if you can't get to live happily and peacefully? So it's not really important to me anyway.. living comfortably and simple will just do. I don't think I'm rich, but rather, blessed.
I seriously think I'm not a bright student when I was young, though being put in the best class, I was always among the last in class! I remember coming home one day, crying, after being badly scolded by my mum, infront of my aunt again. I was so ashamed that I felt so useless and so forth.. I'm not a really smart kid.. but I tried and studied hard for my UPSR. After being taught by a really good tuition teacher, which I adore so much (coz she was really good), I achieved my goal! I didn't get all straight A's, but 6A's 1B was good enough. But as always, my parents were not that satisfied as I do, because they expect me to get all A's like my sister had. But in the midst of all this, there was many problems at home. Too many that I almost wanted to get out of the house. Even the thought of running away from home. Haha.. I can still laugh at myself when I recall all this. My mum sent me to church every Sunday morning, to spend my time learning at the children church or Sunday school. Actually, if it was not because of the lessons taught there, I would have been.. bad. I grew and learnt to be a better girl from there. If not, I would have been a rascal, reckless and stubborn child. Well, basically I was brought up this way. There's actually much more to it, but I can only tell you this much. Hehe.
I am just gald I've changed over the years. Placing the right things in my life, which is, most importantly, Him. Til now, I'm thankful that the Lord has blessed me with so much though there were things which upsets me. And that I can testify to everyone about this truth and His glory. Amen.
