Adaptations

Is it just me or does it apply to everyone else?

i reallise that through out my life....i'm always adapting/changing
there will always be this period when i'm searching for a way.(often experiencing lotsa not so pleasant encounters).....then finally i have adapted.

kindergarten
**************
the time.... i started to remember bits and pieces of my life.
started to interact with other little people of my age. play catching with them.. learn with them.
started to get more scars on my body fr hyperactiveness, start to get dark.
you can see from the class photo, i was always sweaty......
started to experience some competitiveness in life - drawing competition, catching .etc
started to experience some identity crisis - y was the gal sitting next to me has nicer shoes (those doll shoes with ribbons) while i was always wearing the kiko or kiki lala canvas velcro shoe.(no wonder i can always play catching!!!)
why the gal sittin next to me has long hair and cute plaids with ribbons while i have boyish cut.
( i didn't do much to change that as my mom pretty much made the decision for my appearance)
time to be independent and take a school bus and be home alone.
can't remember much but i supposed those were good times?!

primary school
****************
don't understand why should i do homework. thus ended up queing in line for rotaning.
don't understand y shld the school ban us fr playin skipping and catching. thus ended up gaining weight.
amazed that there were so much politics goin on in such small community.
well i have adapted to finish my homework in class. i have adapted to thrive in school in 2 years time.
but those are the cocooning time as well....as i didn't reallise how competitive the outside world as compared to the juz mere 400 population in the year.

secondary school
*******************
suffer some culture shock and language barrier despite the promising future ahead. manage to make some good and crazy friends (probably because everyone is still young and innocent). strugglin with studies. manage to pass the subjects i dread and thrive in those i m capable of.

exposed to more opportunities in life and thus experiencing some complications that come along with it. come to realise that life is not that simple in the growing up - adult world.

Pre U
*******
thrown into the world of Ivy League while i was still cocooning somewhere in the garden. everything becomes slippery slopy. seek resolution in physical means as i found satisfaction in them..but still it's a ivy league everywhere place. so still gotta struggle sometimes. studies still sucks big time. basically i juz bleah thru the whole thing. luckily frens were good.
learn one of the most important lesson in life at the end of it. had doors shut in my face, suffer from some emotional bully and torture. reallise that all woks of life are to be respected equally.

University 1
************
i'm thrown in the world of strangers. know almost no one. struggle to make some new friends amidst the clicky culture - did some gang hopping stunt - suffer some hiccups along the way. but still has the option of staying away from unpleasant stimulus.
luckily found my own gang after 1.5 year of solitude. a group of pple who were in solitude came together.
taking the precious lesson with me, manage to perform up to standard by following some simple rules. in general, people were still nice and kind and pleasant and simpler.


University 2
*************
i'm thrown in the world of strangers once again.
rules of game play has changed entirely again in this foreign country.
force to intereact with people that i wldn't want to in normal situation: people are not as simple anymore -
time to morph again..... hopefully it'll be fruitful by the end of this year.

everytime when i'm starting to settling in my comfort zone, i am forced to change again. and each change i realised there is definitely some elevation of the complexities that i need to tackle. it's the infamous homosapiens. wat to do?!

Come what may.......................
