getting bullied -- my courage to do the right thing

In student care (Blk 159) there are four bullies. (There's a gang of students but some of them don't bully me.) A lot of them are 8 years old already.

The first one, named M, always says shut-up to me and calls me names that I don't like.

The second one, named Y(a), always says other people did it when he did something bad. For example, teacher asked me to keep the toys and he just threw them at my chest and it was very painful. He told the teacher another student threw the toys at me.

The third one, named H, always calls me "Dominic O" which I don't like.

The fourth one, named Y(u), shot more than 5 staple bullets at my head. One bullet hit my face close to the centre between my eyes. I felt a little bit pain. Maybe he thought it was play time but it felt almost like bullying.

If I tell teacher or my parents they will bully me more but I had the courage to tell teachers a lot of times (once to Ms Grace), and my father.

chickenpox days

(This is an audio blog by Tan Yixin, recorded by his grumpy daddy.)

One day (not very specific?) I went to school. And then In the morning my teacher Miss Santi saw bumps (on my  forehead).

And then She sent me to general office.. And then they (not specific) The people in general office said it may (might is the past tense) be chickenpox.  They sent daddy to come and fetch me to see the doctor. And then Doctor said it may (might) be chickenpox. i missed something in front. Then the doc gave me 3 weeks of voucher(Voucher?) MC

And then On the way from doctor's office, Grandma said you had to go home and rest. Grandma said "If you rest you may go to daddy's office to play baba to play pingpong." And then I was still very sad because I wanted to go to daddy's office! I didn't want it to be "maybe" and wanted it to be yes!


And then After I came home (from where) Grandma asked me to sleep so I slept until 4 o'clock and then grandma brought me to daddy's office. And then We came home. It was already around 10 o'clock. Then grandma said you could play because you already slept before so you wouldn't need to sleep so early. After we played mom said "it's time to sleep" ...

And the next day, the chickenpox became bigger and bigger and then became smaller and smaller. After a while it disappeared. And then after that daddy told me you must eat 400 words without pinyin very strict. And then I did it And then get to go to Langkawi.

(Tell me a thing about some family member during your chickenpox time?)


Mummy said after the chickenpox you could cut your hair. Grandma took me to the clinic.

(Do you recommend Chickenpox to your friends?)

Why do I recommend Chickenpox? It's a bad thing. 
I will tell my friends to treat Chickenpox the way I did like resting at home and going to the doctor.

(How does CP compared to the other diseases you had?)

The red bumps looked like very scary and the name of Chickenpox sounded like very bad. It hurt very bad when I lean on the red bumps on my back. When I reached the clinic I took out a brochure from the bookshelf. There were 3 pages. In the middle page I saw a naked girl standing over thereShe had a lot of red bumps on her boy. It looked scary. When I came into the doctor's room the doctor examined me. The doc asked daddy what happened (to me) and daddy said I had a lot of red bumps on my body so the doc used a torchlight to check my butts and she saw some water beside a red bump. The doc said it must have exploded. "This is what I'm looking for", she said with a sigh of relief. "This is the proof of Chickpox."
