Entry 3: Something That Had an Impact on You

        When I was a child, my parents took me to Bali and it was one of the most memorable experience I ever had. I always tell this story to my teachers and classmates in class when we have to bring up a memorable experience. When we first went arrived at the hotel, I was jumping up and down on the bed because I was really excited to live in a foreign country. Because my parents were busy settling down our bags, they didn't really have time to take care of me, so I decided to "take care" of myself. I saw my mom put our jackets inside the closet and for some reason, I was enthralled by the design of the closet door. My mom left after she put our jackets in and I started playing with the closet door all by myself. Suddenly, I accidentally cut my right hand pinky with the door and blood started to come out. I started crying calling for my parents. My parents were so worried when they saw my right hand full of blood. They were so worried that none of us knew what to do. My dad finally calmed down and quickly called an ambulance. I remembered it was the first time and my only time riding on an ambulance. I went to the hospital and got some stitches. I remembered the next day, I have white tapes all raped around my right hand and when I went swimming, I have to keep my right hand up all the time. It was like raising my right hand in class except I was in a swimming pool. My mom took a picture of me while I was swimming and I still have that picture in my album. I probably would never forget this experience and I probably never will. I still have that stitch on my right hand pinky, and that's probably another reason why I still remember the accident. Although the scar has become less obvious, I could still see it and I hope the scar would be on me forever for the rest of my life, just to remind me of this incident.

Entry 2: Chinglish

I can't believe I got point off on mine homework!!!! It was like why the world do this huh?! First I'm sooo ashamed with the way my mom force me dress chinese-like and now I failed my xiao kao?! I can see that all of my other classmates are still having fun while I just felt gloomy and finding ways to boost up my score! How am I going to face my baba and mama with that homework grade...I felt like I'm the only person who has to bear both pressure from parents and friends. My classmates don't seem to be willing to hang out with me with my stupid Chinese accent. I have to keep telling them "I know English good!" Whenever test scores come out, my 'friends' would stay away from me because they wouldn't understand why I was feeling sad. Urg....I never really know their scores, but I guess they may get some score higher than me (100% I think since I always get something around 98%-99%). I felt like I'm one of the victims who has to stand pressure from both parents and friends. Parents have so many and much expectations for me, and so friends too ah... When I'm stuck within the 'American pressure' and the 'Chinese pressure', nobody seems to get how I feel, not even my parents. I felt there's a mixture of the two cultures inside my mind. The main problem with this mixture is I don't feel close to any side. I wanted to have the Chinese sole inside my mind with the American outfit, but it seems to be really so hard oh....
