Ignorance is bliss. But not to me!

Interested in finding out about me? 

So, if you are interested in finding out my identity, well, why not I just share with you all about myself! Actually, I've pretty much talked about my hobby, which is at being an otaku (See previous post). Maybe some of you are not interested in knowing me at all, but I still appreciate your kindness in continuing reading my post. Let's get going then! Well, Rowina is my given name, but my family members tend to call me Nana.

Hence, I want to share about my life as an elementary school kid. As a child,  I was really weak, with petite body, and I rarely talk, at all. I didn't even know how to write my own name, in Chinese characters, of course. You see, I've been studying in a Chinese-medium elementary school for 6 years, From grade 1 to grade 6. I continued taking up Chinese language classes for 2 more years in secondary school and stopped in the third year. You could say that I am really fluent in Chinese language (mandarin) as well. Well, maybe not as fluent as those who took up Chinese classes for 11 years, but I have an advantage because I know how to speak mandarin. Let's not talk about that now. Continue on from where I left just now. Even though I didn't know how to write my own name, my teacher was kind to help me to write my name every time, not every time actually, just almost.

But then, I wanted to learn to be independent, so I tried to write my own Chinese character name. It took me quite a while to write my own name; however, I didn't regret it at all. And thus, I grasped the knowledge in writing my own name!  Even now, I still know how to write my own Chinese character name. Oh and, after that, now that I knew how to write my own name, I started to catch up really fast in my classes regarding learning the new language, mandarin. However, I was not the best. My classmates were all brilliant and bright students. There was this one particular girl, who was very clever, she liked to, you know, get the teacher's heart or attention, as the Chinese people say, na lao shi de xin. I simply didn't like her, but not to the extent of hating her, though. Maybe it was just pure jealousy, I guess.  Until now I still don't like her. She completely overshadowed me in class. Even though I was better than her in English language class, people will just ignore me and went to her saying that, "Wow! You did great! You're the best in our class! Congratulations!" Whereas I, who was a better student than she was, got no praise at all, except from my parents, of course. I told my parents about my problem with this "genius", they just told me to be patient and wait as the time will come for me to shine. And so, I waited patiently for my time to shine. BUT! It did not come at all! 

"Go away, u b***h..."
P/S: Awwwww... he's soooooooo cool!!!!

Furthermore, my teachers in elementary school also seemed to not notice of my achievements. They will just flock around her, like she's a princess or something. She kept on annoying me. Actually, she and her little sister. This annoying girl, has a younger sister of the same age, who was born in the same year as us in late December. You could say that both of them are like polar opposites. The elder sister was the so-called genius, while the younger one was the mischievous one. However, both of them were still as annoying as hell as they kept on getting the teachers' attention. It's not like I couldn't do that (getting the teachers' attention), it's just that I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to stoop so low as to get the teachers' attention. Also, these two siblings are extremely rich, well, their parents are, actually. 

And so, that was how my miserable elementary school life was. Imagine, I had to spend my whole 6 years with those spoiled brats who know nothing of poverty, who keep on showing off their new gadgets; whereas me, I have nothing of those sort. I only have my daily allowance of 20 cents per day that my mother gives everyday to buy some sweets. Not to mention, there was even this girl, who literally "borrowed" money from me and never returned! It was only 20 cents, but to me, with this 20 cents, I could buy some food to fill my stomach with. That 20 cents girl was also in one of the "brilliant " students' group whose parents are super rich. Now that I think of it, I didn't really enjoy my elementary school life. 

However, there was rainbow for me, too. I did made some good friends out of  my miserable elementary school life, and scored a really good UPSR result: 5A2B (I scored Bs for my Chinese language. Yay!). You see, even without the praises of those teachers, I still managed to get such good results, if I must say so myself. By the way, I didn't have any tuition classes throughout my elementary school life.

Me, studying my brains out! _(._.)_ 

Another significant thing to talk about is that, in my PMR, I scored straight As, whereas the girl who striped me off my own money (the 20 cents girl) did not. So I thought to myself, "that is what you get for cheating on my money, huh." And in SPM, the annoying girl, who was supposedly a "genius", scored less A+ than me. 

Okay, I guess that's all from me, for now. I think I'm gonna talk about my secondary life in the next or future post! I hope I keep my word. By the way, have you figured out what race I am to begin with? 

Love from, Nana!
