- My early years.
Alicia picked #1. I was in her first story of that. I am honoured. She loves me, I know she does :'D hehehehee♥
Josephine wants to do #2. I have no idea why :D
I picked #3! Cos it sounded fun, i have no idea why either :D
my thoughts on #4 and #5.
If I were given a chance to be anybody, I would be me because I am awesome. Duh.
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH--
cough.
My early years. When maths was actually still numbers.
Good ol' days.
Then this happened for #4.
MICHGOH: OMG! We should pick #4 and write, if i were given a chance to be anybody, i would be Miss Susie!
ALICIA: OOOH....!
(cos that would mean mich gets extra marks LOLhahajkjk)
CHRISTINE: OMG! Then you can write, and if i were miss susie, i would give this essay 50/50!! AHAHAHAHAA
MICHGOH: YEAH!!!! we should so totally write that!!
conclusion: we are genius.
but in the end michgoh decided to write a tragic love story. she's determined to make miss susie cry. i salute her. hahahahaa.
but anyways, this is mine.
CHALLENGE 3: Describe the biggest challenge in your life.
And Another Day Goes By
The sun sets. The sun rises. Another day goes by. The wind blows. The trees sway. Another day goes by. The branches move. My window gets hit. Another day goes by. The sunlight streams in. The birds chirp. Another day goes by. I open my eyes. I cover my head with my pillow. Another day goes by. A knock on my door. My mother’s voice,
“CHRISTINE! WAKE UP! It’s 10 o’clock in the morning!”
…another day goes by.
How many days have gone by?
Not many. I think.
“Christine, wake up now! Dad wants to go out for brunch!”
Why, hello to you too mum!
“Open the door!”
How am I doing? Well, fine of course! Thanks for asking.
“I’m warning you…”
“Yes mum, I’m awake, I’m awake! I’m on my way to the bathroom as you speak! Watch me go, quick as a cat!”
The noise stops. I turn over, and go back to sleep.
People face many challenges every day of their lives. From tackling that pesky additional mathematics question, to feeding their vicious fish. It is tragic, I know. Even I, as unbelievably astounding as I am, am faced with challenges all the time! But I, being as unbelievably astounding as I am, can normally overcome them with triumph held high in my fist, standing on the mountain of victory, with waves of success splashing behind me as songs of achievement fill the air.
Except for one.
Just one tiny one. Okay, maybe not so tiny. Maybe just a small one. Slightly bigger than that. Considerably bigger. Bigger. Huge. Massive. Gargantuan.
All except that just one tiny-small-big-huge-massive-gargantuan challenge I have to face each and every morning. And no, it’s not my mother. It’s not something quite as simple as that, you see. But it’s alright, as I have realised everything in this world eventually comes to face a challenge. A very challenging challenge. Even animals! Although I would have to add in the fact that my dog’s biggest and most challenging challenge in his life is probably trying to find the cosiest spot to sleep in every day. He is a German Shepherd and his name is Fluff. He’s a dog, not a cat. But I digress.
This one hindrance crumbles my Mountain of Victory! The Waves of Success die down. The Songs of Achievement crackle, fade and is heard no more. And that Triumph held high in my Fist? Gone. Like the wind.
How can this be? It cannot be so! But I must admit, it is by far, the most Challenging Challenge of my Life. Really. It prevents me from accomplishing things. It prevents me from being a good daughter. It prevents me from being early. It prevents me from LIVING MY LIFE. It is that bad. Truly and really. Really and truly.
You must all be wondering right about now…what is this challenge? What is this tiny-small-big-huge-massive-gargantuan challenge? What is this most challenging challenge that prevents me from living my life as it ought to be lived? What is this monstrosity of a challenge?
I am sorry, I do not know how to tell you. My hand cannot write any further. I am trembling as I write. It is too traumatising. But, no! I must persevere. I can do this. I will do this.
“CHRISTINE! It’s already 11:30 a.m.! WHY ARE YOU STILL NOT READY?”
I groan and blearily rub my eyes.
“Christine Ling Jern Sze! Don’t make me go in there!”
I have a confession to make. My biggest and most challenging challenge of my life… is waking up in the morning.
“I’m coming in right now!”
“Nooo, mum! I’m ready, I’m ready!”
And another day goes by.
The sun sets. The sun rises. Another day goes by. The wind blows. The trees sway. Another day goes by. The branches move. My window gets hit. Another day goes by. The sunlight streams in. The birds chirp. Another day goes by. I open my eyes. I cover my head with my pillow. Another day goes by. A knock on my door. My mother’s voice,
