- My Daisy Jane - Part I
I was never exceptionally good at anything.
In primary school, I never was one of the top few in grades.
I could never compare to my elder siblings.
I was always a reserve in the class relay team.
I wasn't good at any sport.
I wasn't handsome, that's for sure.
I was frequently punished for not doing my homework in school.
I hated science, still do anyway.
Sucked at computer games.
Was ultra skinny.
Got bullied quite alot, even from pre-school.
Hated piano. Quit after grade 3.
Did however, win the Primary 6 leaving party Talentime Singing:
"Walking in a Winter Wonderland"
But who remembers that.
In church, my brother always got all the compliments.
He went to ACSI.
I missed it by a point.
I took a great liking to tennis.
Never got very far.
Didn't make a prefect just cos one of the seniors hated me.
Had to settle for monitor.
Didn't get accepted by the 'cool' guys.
That's actually pretty stupid now that I think of it.
Beat probably the whole school in eating during recess.
Became fat. So clever.
Didn't make the choir comm in Sec Three just because I had a class outing that day.
Grades remained terribly the same.
Heh.. sounds quite horrendous doesn't it.
But I never did despair, and I never fought back.
Well maybe I did, but I can't remember.
Cause I realised I did have a talent somewhere.
And all I/You need to do, is to put effort and passion in to developing it.
For the right reasons.
And developed it shall be.
