The Little Monke
Good Day Everyone, I am sure all of you will be intrigued to know why my nickname is ‘Little Monkey’ This is because I was born in the zodiac year of a monkey and because little monkey sounds cuter! Awesome nickname right? Smiling face with smiling eyes.

When I was in Primary 5, I found out something ususual about myself because I wasn’t growing well. I am actually diagnosed with MPS IV, a rare genetic disorder.
The ONE and only primary school picture I have! Find ME, haha! I guess it is obvious enough, isn’t it?
Q: In regards to schooling, what has become different after finding out your medical condition?
A: At the age of 14, I gradually get to understand more about my condition. I found out why I was so (short) and often faced criticism, laughter & bullying from my classmates cause they couldn’t understand me. I had an unhappy primary school life!
Q: What effect did it have on me?
A: Due to my primary school bullying, I started to become an introvert cause their words have deeply hurt me and I cried almost everyday after returning home!
During my last year in Primary school, my family advised me to ignore the bullies and concentrate on my studies! With the help of teachers, principal and my family, I did it ! and managed to get into EXPRESS!
A: Going to a new school, I thought that everything will be going fine but things wasn’t as simple. Although I still faced some students who will stared at me as if I am from MARS but that did not deter me from making friends. When I was in Sec 1, I was staying at my cuzzie place and didn’t adapt well and I stayed back in school almost everyday cause I didn’t have a condusive environment to study.

Close with my sisters when my mum was working! Sisters Forever!
During this period, I felt tired all the time because I was in no mood to study at all, that is why my results showed it all. I only started to pick up my grades when I moved back home. It is also the period where my mum have to work night shifts and I was very close with my sisters! The secondary school phase passed by swiftly and I had made friends throughout but nevertheless I still felt lonely at times and I was very quiet in school! The library became my favourite place then to chill and study, I befriended all librarian and was a librarian myself as it was my Co-curricularum activities(CCA).
A picture with my school librarian, she is very friendly and I always share my problems and troubles with her!
Turning Point
Photo of Me in 2008 before surgery. Needed to undergo some scans before surgery.
In 2008, I was supposed to take the GCE O LEVELS and graduate! Guess what, I was thrown a “pleasant” surprise! I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus which was a condition where excess fluid was acculmulated in my brain therefore defering my O levels! When my classmates heard that I have to undergo surgery, they came to show me concern and i was deeply touched by their gesture.
