Chapter 2: The Childhood....

In this section, we'll see what little she could remember about her childhood... up until she finished up her primary school...

As have been written before, Little Cathie did not have a very happy childhood... when she was little, she was a very quite girl.. she did not like to meet people... everytime someone came to her house, be it cousins, or her parents' friends, she quickly made her way to her bedroom and stayed there.. she had to be forced to meet people.. and everytime she was taken to her parents' stores, she would cry.. she didnt enjoy it at all... she just wanted to keep to herself.. maybe she was shy... maybe she was scared of adults... or maybe she just didnt like to meet people... either way, she mostly kept to herself...

when she was in primary school, the only good memory she has was the time when they went to the US.. her whole family.. they all looked so happy in all the pictures... even her parents looked happy together.. it might be the only happy memory she has.. it was the last time that they went away as a happy family..

at some time during her primary school life, her dad went through an operation.. there was a problem with his leg.. his leg hurt.. he was unable to walk very far... the doctor said that he suffered from spinal strain.. and so he got the operation.. but he didnt get better.. so he went to another doctor.. and this time, the doctor stated that there was an artery balooning... and they needed to replace it.. since then.. he became more bitter.. he wasnt able to walk far.. so he stayed at home most of the time.. and became grumpier... and it just gets worse from there...

during her primary school year, Little Cathie made a few friend.. she wasnt the popular girl.. and that was the 1st time she was backstabbed by her own best friend, her best friend since primary school.. but with a big heart, Little Cathies forgave her.. but they didnt talk at all after that...

From the outside, people saw that Little Cathie had a happy childhood.. she took english lessons and ballet lessons.. they went away for holidays... she was sent to Singapore for study-tour.. but she was not happy.. when she got her first 2nd rank in class, she told her parents, but they just didnt care.. and after that, Little Cathie didnt even care how good or bad she did in class.. she just needed approval from her parents, and love.. but she couldnt get it.. her parents were rarely home... they went away for holidays most of the time.. she was not close to her parents at all... and she didnt really have any friends as she was not allowed to go out at all.. she was to stay home except for her lessons...

So.. that was the childhood of Little Cathie.. happy, yet hollow without love...
