I am self medicated. One trip to the doctor's office will equal to a driving lesson.

About myself.
I was born a fat baby, weighing 5kg, in Thomson Medical. I was fatter than my brother! My mum told me its a good hospital, and only in recent years I realised how priviledged for a baby to be born in Thomson Hospital. The birth jab was administered not on my arm, so my left arm only bears the BCG mark from the Secondary school jab.
From young, I was picky on the choice for food. I don't take pork (because of a lie my brother told me so that he can have all my pork), egg york (I onlt take egg white and salted egg. I was obsessed with salted egg porridge my mum cooked that I told her it was the nicest food on earth and I'm willing to have it for the rest of my life. I'm not too sure I can count on that statement anymore), or skin from meat. Hence, imaginable how malnutritioned I was, my weight hovering around the 20kg scale and was catergorised as 'underweight' in my fitness assessment on the last page of my report book through my primary and secondary school life.
As a kid, I don't eat during recess. I would spend my weekly allowances solely on stationary. I would run down the stairs from the classroom and zoom straight to the bookstore. And thats how I fractured my front tooth when I was in Primary 2. I love standing on the wooden crate on the floor and lifted my body with my arms resting on the ledge of the bookstore window. Then proudly parade around with my new stickers, crayons etc.
In primary 3, I went gaga into skipping. I skipped all day and yes, that constitutes to my height of 1.65m. All the way through Primary 6, skipping is the
hottest thing and so does the song 'Lemon Tree'!
I used to cry whenever we went visiting and my relatives will mock how skinny I am, e.g. I will be blown away by the wind on coast. I spent a birthday wish, hoping I will not be thin and now I have to use 5 birthday wishes to undo the first wish. DUMB.
I fainted 3 times in Primary school. 2 times during the afternoon assembly, when we were singing national anthem. I remembered of one incidence, my friend Zizie, helped to stablised me with her right arm. Then my teacher scurried me to the sick bay. The other time was during the evening assembly. I fainted infront of the school because I was carrying out my prefect duty by guarding the entrance. My Primary 6 form teacher carried me to the sick bay. I was carried by a man for the first time! *chuckled
I began to gain weight, into 'satisfactory' range, when I was in Secondary 2, on my vacation job at kFC. I had 2 piece chicken everyday. I worked for a whole month for $108 in my bank! :(
Now I am 23, my life has been fulfilling.
