A Weirdo?

    I got a friend who was assumed weird. Lets call him A. This guy has a story behind him. A story about determination, struggle and hope. It all started when he was 5. As asthma patient, he longed to eat certain fruits like rambutans and jackfruit. Poor guy, he can only drool for it.In same year, his cousin frightened the $%*& out of him that he became a stammer. Unable to speak fluently in any language, he became shy and quiet. He was weak in academics too. In preschool years, he failed in maths and never scored an 'A' in his life and that made him a joker among his family and society. His mom suffered the most. Criticized for having a weak,stammer and academic underperformer child as her son.

    She made up her mind. She wanted to see her son to be better. His dad meanwhile a kind of pessimistic. She decided to lay a hand on his stammer and studies first. For stammer, she made a speech therapy herself and make her son to watch English and Malay cartoons and shows which uses normal language like news, Keluang Man, Power Ranges and Phonics (study on English pronunciation), flash cards. For studies, she used reward system. You did a great job, you can watch tv. Dinner at 7 and in bed by 9. That strict and tight regime enforced for months. Within a year, he got 'Best Student Award' and 'First Position in Class Award'. He also sung in choir without any flaw in pronunciation. Who is awesome here? My pal or his mom?

    However, a new dilemma rose. His mom was diagnosed with asthma and diabetes. He was broken apart. He was 7.Losing self esteem as his mom at hospital, he became a bully victim in a sudden. I can do nothing as his pal. The bullies were so tough. His father look after him but its not enough. It persists until he was 10. As his family moved and mom was pregnant he had a problem in suiting himself in new environment. The neighborhood stinked in terms of morale. The climax, he was beaten at school and his dad enrolled him into Taekwondo class. After 7 months, he broke his bullies' nose literally. He also started to practice yoga. He witnessed the financial pain in his family too. By lying to his parents that he got extra class,he sold bottled mineral water then marching accessories then marching + sports attires. He can make up to RM 2K monthly. He supported his mom's medical expenses from that. He stopped using his parents money since he was 13.

    He offended the school's rules. Ironically, he became a prefect on the next year. He scored all 'As' in his UPSR. He also won public speaking in state. What do you think about his transformation within 7 years. When he was studying secondary school, he joined Police Cadet. Many thought, his asthma will KILL HIM. The thing is, he cured his asthma using DIET and YOGA. It took him 9 years. He excelled in his secondary school's life too. When he finished his SPM with straight As; pure science stream,aced science presentation in state level, the vice head prefect, President of Maths and Science, Cadet Corporal in Police Cadet, won medals in athletics and cross country and has black belt in  Taekwondo. Entering Matriculation College he procured 4 flat, gold medal in marching at National Level as National Cadet Union (PKBM) member like Army Cadet, sort of and members in several committees there like JAKTI and fasilitators for maths and business subjects.

     So, what you think about him? Some say he is a weirdo.From what I know, he earned those, proving those around him that they are wrong. Its up to you.

Thanks for spending your time reading this.

Reasons WHY you should enjoy your SINGLEHOOD!

    1)  You’re in charge of all your life decisions. You and ONLY yourself!
You have nobody to consider or consult before making a decision. You have the opportunity to put yourself first before anyone and you don’t have to waste your time wondering “what if”. You can do whatever you want and not worry a bit.     

  2)  Not having to put up with anyone.
You won’t be having the need to take care of that someone’s feelings. You won’t have to deal with someone’s character or attitude everyday. Almost every couple does their share of pretending that “it’s all okay” and you don’t have to. How is that bad? J You’ll not be required to care about anyone’s feelings.  

                                                              

 3) Bye bye mood swings!
This one is something that all those singlehoodies out there should appreciate. You will never be too happy or sad! Those lovey-dovey moments can leave you smiling for no reason while those cold, hateful moments can make you cry for days. But since you’re single, you will never have to worry about that. Nobody has the power to control how you feel and you are more likely to be in a stabile mood all the time. Which is not only good for you, but also those around you.

 4) Getting to watch what YOU want, listen to what YOU want.

     You can watch the sappiest, most unrealistic romantic comedy and no one will judge you or sulk for making them sit through it. You also don’t have to consider that special someone’s taste before choosing a movie to watch or music to listen to. It’s all your wish! :) 

 5) Enjoying your friends.

    Why is it that we always seem to forget about our friends when we get overwhelmed with a hot   new relationship? We act like they’re some kind of weight we’ve been lugging around on our shoulders that, as soon as we find someone perfect to snuggle with on weekend afternoons, we just drop at a moment’s notice. Being single allows you to focus your full attention on the love you have with your friends, so why not take them out on a nice date once in a while?

And that’s a wrap! Thanks for reading yo! Stay pretty & healthy! Big love X
