The time I've been bullying in Australia

         I always remembered the time that I had been a bully in Australia. That happened when I was in fifth grade in Australia (Australian schools start school earlier than in KL), I had much more friends through fourth grade at that time so me and my 6 more friends formed a little gang. The people in my gang didn't really like a guy called student 1 (he was Romanian), who was actually my best friend when I came to the school. So they wanted me to help them. At first, I didn't want to do it because it was my best friend and he helped me so much when I was new to the school, but after some times, I started to find out that he didn't turn out to good. Then, I thought that I, was actually the first one who ask Andy to be friend (even though, I wasn't that good at English, so when he asks "Are we still friends?", I would hesitate because I didn't understood what STILL means), so in the end, I agreed to help the other people in my gang.



        Now, I'm no longer in that school but then one day, in the summer holidays, I felt REALLY uncomfortable. After a few days, I finally know why I felt uncomfortable, I had recalled the time in Australia when I was bullying Andy!! I remember that day when we were all playing a game called hand-ball with my ball, I refused to let Andy play. And another time, Andy got bullied by my other friends and I didn't feel like helping him saying he didn't do it (because everyone thought he is a liar).


        Now in ISKL, I understood how bullying sometimes could really hurt other peoples feelings and desperate and I really felt especially sorry for bullying one of my best friend. Now I can do a much better job on not to bully, don't say yes to a bullying gang, try to at least let the person who got bullied feel better by talking to them if you don't dare to stand in front of a bully and just ignore what the bully said or did if they were bullying you.


        This year at ISKL, I desperately wants to make a difference on bullying, especially when some else had been bullied. I wish I can do ALL the things I listed above and I also wished I gets popular so no bullies will bully me (if there is one...) but not by bullying other people for that as well. That's one true story of when I, was a bully myself. Enjoy!!

The time I had to face my FEAR, the auto-flushing toilet!!

      If I wants to write about my fear, I would probably choose this true story of me facing my fear happened a long time ago, when I was three. The part when I got scared was not as annoying as the part when I had to face it again!


      One day, when I was three, I got scared of the auto flushing toilet. Here is how it happened (as much as I can remember, since it was my whole life fear). One day in my apartment building, I was playing (or messing around) pool. About one hour later, I starts to have a feeling that's like wanting to go to the toilet. So a little later, when I at last couldn't bear it any longer, I started my way to the toilet...


      Once inside the toilet and I went to the pee tanks, I noticed something weird (I didn't know they changed the tanks two days ago), the tanks all have a red beam that looks like an evil eye. When you stare at it, it hurts your eyes a little. I went to the tank with a sense that something was wrong and started peeing. When I was done, I thought the whole thing was over for the beam was no longer on. I relaxed. Then, all of a sudden, the tank flushes and made such a sudden and loud noise that I jumped!! (I know because I felt myself jump) I got a bad fever the day after this day and it lasted for nearly a month (but it was kind of good because I got a bucket of LEGO)!! So that's what had happened to make my toilet fear.

      This part was about one and a half year later, when I was in a 10 leveled store (the store was REALLY rich), I had to go to the toilet again!! I finally found the place where the toilet was. My fingers touched the knob on the door and I went in. But the first thing that caught my eyes were not the rich decorations on the wall nor the wonderful spring smell in the pee tanks (there are those special round small balls in it which makes the smell), it was... THE RED BEAM ON THE PEE TANK!! I got struck dumb. I suddenly have a sickened feeling that I wanted to run, but when I made my first move, I realised that I HAVE to face my fear if I wants to pee because I couldn't hold it back know by the fear. So, one step after another, I carefully made my way towards the tank with the evil red eye staring at me. I stopped, had a last look at the eye and, when I was done, I turned around all of a sudden and started sprinting to the sink, quickly washed my hand and just before I reached the door knob, KERBOOM!! The sound went up as if a cannon was placed next to me but it might be because there are a few people in the toilet, this time, I didn't get scared! Instead, I turned back, faced the red eye, and I said," Well this time, you didn't scare me! Beat that!".

      But after I came out, I no longer felt fear and anger, instead, I felt really exciting and relaxed! I couldn't wait to tell my mum about this, because I had just beaten my whole live fear, the auto flushing toilet!!


      I would say that my experience of the toilet was over. But I really hopes you enjoyed my most-part-memorized story and my most exciting part of the my life story as well, The Fear Of The Auto-flushing Toilet!!
