Refugee

19th January 1955

HELP ME, its Charlize I want to come home I feel like a fish out of water. It’s been one year and 2 weeks I have just run out of water and food. Our clothes stink like an animal has just died.  It has been a couple of wet and stormy days with a lot of rain out on the boat.  I want to come home to my family.  People expect me to be happy but media are saying we’re not welcome any more .I don’t know if you are okay and safe and all our other friends and family. I cry and cry about you because I don’t know if you are okay.

If you get this message please write back because I hope to hear from you {ASAP} I miss school, my family, the beach, my home and my way of life and I’m okay so don’t worry about me. I feel hopeless.

I have nightmares of when I was fleeing Australia. I have been told I am being transported from the Malaysian Refugee Camp to another, not sure what one yet.

We have had people dying because of a strong disease that is  killing millions of people like younger kids, babies and many more people have died.  I have just got on a boat to go to a another camp I don’t know what one.

I have now arrived after 2 hours on the boat have finely made it with no hassles. I hope to see some of the other family or friends. I have just had something to eat and drink and it’s about 6.00 to 7.00 o’clock. I’m staying in tent 17. I have other people staying beside me but not sure who. I have just been asked to go to have dessert with the girl in tent 16.

When I got to the table the best thing happened. I saw my best friend and I ran to her and started crying with joy and we slept head to toe and then we are waiting to get shipped to England.

Mia and I live together now. I still have nightmares and dreams about fleeing and sometimes like all the time I hear a plane I think that they’re going to drop a bomb.

Well I have just packed my bag and now I’m sitting on the boat watching the waves about to leave to go to England.  I hope I don’t ever have to flee again. I hope I have the best life but if it happens again in the future.  I hope to live with no fear and no war!

when i have been excluded

Feeling excluded is the worst feeling in the whole wide world.  It feels like a knife getting pulled out and straight into my back. When  i was best friends with Mia we always used to sit in a group at lunch and recess.  we all wanted to sit together but one of the girls was never sitting with us.  I was really upset about that.  And now it happens to me sometimes i say I’m  allowed to sit with you all and hang out” and they give me a look like ‘NO’.   One day they were playing a game and one of the girls asked if i can play and she turns around and says no because you don’t have a hat and then she let a boy play with no hat.  Then she walked off and this is happen to this day.

CHINESE HOROSCOPES

My Chinese horoscope is the horse.Why because i was born in 2002. I like the horse because they are usually happy and have many friends.  They love to chat and orate and have good images.  They are seen as brave and independent but they can be quite cowardly. Although they love freedom, horses are not truly independent as they rely on others for support. The lucky numbers are 1,3,4,8,13,14,41 and 43. you are known as being one of the most  friendly of all of the Chinese zodiac signs.
