I stumbled upon CLF's blog and really amazed of his idea on posting about his life. As such, I wanna list down what have I done past 20 years ago.
p/s: super long post. Lots of grammatical and typo errors as I typed as fast as I could.* I first set foot into this world around 12:05AM, 16th of February year 1989. Few minutes later than my sister, yea we are twins :) So, if you ask whether our attitude are alike, no, we are not :)
* Year 1990, my first birthday and I couldn't tell much as I had no memories on what happened. Looking back to photos taken, I was proudly offered myself to be snapped nakedly. Lol, what to do, I was so small that time without knowing what was my dad doing with such a gigantic camera.
* Year 1991, 2 years old. Hmm, skip! Not much of memories too. Perhaps researcher is right, children will memories thing started from 5 years old.
* Year 1992, 3 years old. Oii, why still no memory one?
* Year 1993, 4 years old. My first time studying. That time was in Melaka Baru kindergarten nearby my place. I know many kids would cry even first time schooling but cheh I was not. It was fun and I don't think I learned a lot there. Heh! Cause all I was thinking was go there and play only. Yea, though I had the guai guai means budak baik look.
* Year 1994, shifted to other kindergarten - Pei Daw. That was more fun man, I still remember we got gang one like gangster wanna fight with other group. Also, that was the moment I ate lots of rotan (punishment). I still didn't get what is schooling that time. If my memory serves me well, I had one good pregnant teacher which I never fail and would make sure to help her taking her briefcase all the time. I am good boy what :P !
* Year 1995, still in Pei Daw. I learn to do tong sui 汤圆. Hmmm.. I got Paul as my best friend. Really good friend. Would spare some times to accompany each other after school. I always laughed at my sister as she had one guy treated her so good. The guys quite funny too. Everyday brought different videos for us to watch.
* year 1996, I stepped my foot on Ping Ming primary school, standard one. I must say this is the point which I began to learn and memories a lot. I could see so many pampered boys and girls were crying on the first day. It was damn funny! Again, I didn't cry, good boy what!
Back then, I really dislike one male teacher who taught me Maths and was my class teacher. He always pointed out my handwriting. Yea, I have very bad handwriting even now though :) Continue, he always said my nombor 5 looks more like S. Shit! :D Anyways, I respect him a lot. Without him, I didn't learn so much.
Continue, I lagi dislike was, he asked me to join one story competition without telling me what to do. The story I told was '小王狗'. On that day, all I could tell was few lines and I was so shameful. And I told myself at the very moment, I gonna stand here again and grab prize away.
Oh ya! I still remember my friend dislikes an Indian girl. maybe her smell la. He always use scissor to cut her shirt until her parents came and scolded him badly. LOL. Besides that, my sister was asked to show how Catholic's sign on God, Jesus and Holy Spirit after prayer. She can point it from head to toe. Just imagine that situation, you will sure laugh.
Apart of that, our class was in afternoon session due to lack of class rooms.
I stole one rubber from a shop, hey nice, cause it was power ranger one. I was to curious until I tried to smoke a bit. Each time smoke only 10% I threw it away. :D
I love my standard one life!
* Year 1997, standard two. Still in same class and same classmates. Class changed to morning session. It's really better. I always asked my mom and uncle to do my homework. Yes :)
* Year 1998, standard three. Wanted to take PTS exam but failed to do that as it's only for very excellent student. Due to my ability, I was promoted to become the assistant monitor. I'll make sure my job done. Basically, making sure my friends did their cleaning job and collecting books for teacher.
This was the year my dad bought us our very first Windows 98 computer. LOL I had no much chance to touch it as I was still young dad worried I will spoil it.
Sometimes when no body was using the PC, I will curi curi use it. And that was my first time seeing nude pics. :X lol but it's true. I still remember we were using the infamous Netscape that time. And that time PC wasn't as good as now, the History page wouldn't totally cleared off even you keep deleting. I thought it was my fault to open such websites as it kept appearing even though I kept deleting.
Internet Explorer was then invented to replace Netscape. :D
* Year 1999, standard 4. Wah damn kanasai one! Due to my good result, I was changed to the first class Merah. I couldn't suit the class atmosphere that moment so I changed back to my previous class. Yea, though their results weren't as well as Merah, but the friendship and their attitudes were very good. Merah class friends were one word - Hao Lian! they didn't mix around with others but only with themselves.
All the while I was taking bus to school, I began to be very close with one of my friends ah kiat. Man, he was a gangster before you guys joined. Heh! Got protection wei! He was good, unlike nowadays kids, after joining gangs, and wanna show off their powers. Power rangers meh?
I was an obedient boy to my parents but not my brothers lo haha. :X They were cycling to Peringgit Jaya and my dad really upset and threw the chairs all these.
By the way, one thing was very famous that time among us. We always dropped into drain - Longkang. Each time we were cycling at the back of our house, we will sure enter into drain one. Maybe the brake was not functioning well la :)
had crushes with many girls. lol. tell me which kids don't do that? Puppy love la...
Sister and I asked my friend to steal her mom's money. yea, he is rich. And we divided the money together. lol, sense of guilt in our hearts then we returned back to him.
* Year 2000, Everyone was busying with the Y2K bugs at 11.59 p.m. the last day of year 1999.
I had 2 good friends, Koh and Xiong. I got many prizes, one of it which I never forget was the best student award :) Again, I am good student what!
On that year, God blessed my family with a new shop. Really blessed! My dad liked it at the first sight and have been staying even now.
My grandmom was paralyzed after our trip to Genting. From that moment, we seldom go for vacation. I never blame them as family always comes first.
I began to play Digimon but I was not so enjoyed playing it so I sold it off with cheap price. Kena scolded lol. I really don't have good skills in selling thing really :)
I was the class monitor. I bought my first Nike shoes.
* Year 2001, standard six. Year of UPSR, who care? lol, I really don't know what UPSR that time and worst still, I didn't know I was supposed to leave school. As the result, my UPSR result was unpleasing :) Still, I was so happy cause can get to play all the time.
Admired brother cause he had phone at that time. But tell you what, the SMS rate was so high at the very moment, about 50 cents per sms? lol, really thanks to DiGi, Celcom and other competitors, it's cheaper nowadays.
I had my first golden round round typed glasses. I purposely went near to the TV and kept bugging dad to bring me to see optician. The consequence was I eventually can wear spec already. So happy :D
Also, I always had problem with blowing the plastic flute. Damn hard wei. Our class won the basketball match with quite dirty trick la haha
After exam, I then registered an ICQ account and from there, I met lots of current friends such as Xin Ying.
* Year 2002, Finally form 1. jeng jeng jeng ~
Stepped on Catholic High School. On the first day itself, I already scared as most of the Malaccans would know, CHS has famous discipline teacher. Furthermore, I didn't wear tie on that day. Kena recorded down my name by the prefect. Luckily I had my brother with me. :) No punishment.
I was too excited to meet new friends. Imagine, I can say Hello nice to meet you to everyone in my class? LOL that was me.
I still remember few friends said I was so smelly and my mouth too. From that very moment, I began to clean myself nicely before going to school. Part of learning journey right?
Sad case was I learned guitar but failed. Brother pissed off and stopped teaching me that.
The best part in my form 1 life was I joined scout. That was the moment that really changed me. Scouting life is really what I like. Besides knowing friend, I got to join lots of campfires and learning priceless knowledge to be knowledgeable person. The first camp I participated was Jamboree Melaka. It was a 6days 5nights camp. FUNNESS!
I first knew Edmund Ng one of my bestie in scout. He lend me a piece of paper and from there, we began to talk and talk.
I met Xin Ying in NDC campfire.
On the other hand, I began to learn about spirituality. I always believe religion is important to everyone. I slowly to cling on to my beloved Jesus.
* Year 2003, I was changed to first class. my family worried I will be stress out cause first class ma, homework sure a lot. Instead, it was like a holiday class lol.
Dad bought first digital camera Vivitar cam. lol it can't even compare to the latest phone. With 0.3 megapixels camera, you know you can't expect any good photos. Anyway, that was how I like photography even now.
Joined lots of camps. I remember classmates like to catch 'birds' at that time. In fact, it's famous that time. I wasn't much exposed to games although Half Life and Counster strike were famous that time.
* year 2004, PMR year. Woots, I really put effort in studying cause I know I did very bad in UPSR.
Because of getting good result, I love Jesus. How innocent I was right? :) But soon, He led me to know Him more and more each day.
We had scout campfire and the theme was Egypt. Everything about Egypt was shown that night.
Also, combine meet. Woots! My all time favorite activity, get to meet lots of new friends. I won the best Patrol Leader for primary school combine meet. Spending time with children is really fun. :)
This year, I was so active in friendster. lol, now no more, it has become something for ah beng and ah lian already :(
Dad bought Samsung and Creative brand digital camera, I had better chance to enhance my photography skill.
I had my first converse shoes.
After PMR, Dad immediately went phone shop and brought me my very very liking Nokia 6600 aka Sabun aka potato phone.
Oh ya Oh ya. I met my girlfriend at Baby Esther's full moon celebration. We were not very close last time. Just "hi" only.
I began to learn back guitar myself by learning the chords in a book.
* Year 2005, form 4 wei. I chose Art + Science Stream. Yes 50/50. I did account instead of biology.
Form 4 life was kinda fun as we had funny friends with us. My form 4 memory was more on my beloved teacher. Physics teacher Mr.Patrick. He might look like a robot and his heart for us was priceless. You never know when he will be angry or happy. Confused! robot mah.
I was elected as Music Club president. err I didn't know why la. but anyways, good opportunity for me to learn leadership. I remember there was once I was scolded by the teacher for not being responsible. I thought I divided all jobs and everything done. Who knows, my friend didn't turned up. I was in total mess, got scolded and grew up. :) My friend Edmund encouraged and taught me.
At the very very very moment, I really change 180 degree and began to draft about my plan and what I was doing.
I was a patrol leader and won again best patrol leader for one of the combine meets. Talking about scouting, we cycled about 160km the whole Melaka. That's one of my memories which I couldn't forget. The fun and meaningful time we spent together was too awesome to be told.
One thing really funny was the first time me and Edmund were performing in school's CNY celebration. Suddenly, no voice came out from either guitar or microphone. Embarrasing.
The most unforgetable is I met back my enemy who turned up to be my bestie. :) He once slapped me and spoilt my spec. Worth to be :)
* Year 2006, SPM year. Damn fast, couldn't believe I had to leave school.
We had campfire and the theme was Magical World. I was the MC for the campfire. First time, sure kekok a bit. Overall, we did really fantastic job.
On the May, I met my dear again in church garage sales. From there, we kept in touch and began to have feeling for each other till now. Hope never end k :)
I am so sorry to have made my Tamil teacher angry. I shouldn't do that to him. The story is like this, he kept scolding my friends Idiot and I couldn't stand, I used Tamil word to scold him. He was totally provoked and didn't expect I would did that to him.
I really miss my classmates though I seldom contact them. We have class gathering each year. Probably will fell on May this year. Can't wait to see them.
Besides that, my mind was entirely messy cause I suddenly left the comfort zone and really complicated of walks of life. I worried I choose the wrong direction and what will happen if I become what I dislike to be. God is good He shown me the way. I no longer wanted to be a richest man as I wish to, but the most compassionate friend to everyone.
I wish to be an educator and build my own school. Children able to get free education and millions of millionaires raised up by me. That's ONE THING in my life.
After graduating, I was so extremely glad to find a part time job as promoter. The pay was pretty decent but no productivity. I didn't learn or do much, everyday just stand at my own counter only.
Got my license and didn't drive for year until I couldn't rely on my dad, I dared myself to drive my Protong Saga till now. :) I can race now!
Changed my phone to Nokia N80, the worst Nokia phone.
There was little tsunami in Melaka that time.
* Year 2007, worked right up to March, I decided to stop working and spent more time with family.
On the May, I started my form sixth life. It was so good at the beginning until the mid of it, I began to dislike it cause got too many hypocrites and politic involved.
I saw with my own eyes, how a good friend treated me like shit after hearing critics from friends. I learn to observe people before knowing them and never too listen to people's advices. Advices are good sometimes but their intention was so wrong.
We whole class signed a letter and asked principal to change our economic class teacher. Hmm.. How will she feel if she really know it?
I learned one thing too. Put yourself under the person's shoes. Don't expect people to be like what you want but instead try to forgive the person cause they don't know what you want actually.
My mind was all mess maybe I couldn't adapt the new environment and classmates. All really a big difference from my secondary school. My previous classmates was all male okay! I miss my friend. I dislike fake friend who befriend you whenever they need you.
Changed my sucky N80 to Sony Ericsson P990i, I'm lovin' it.
* Year 2008, woot STPM time. Wasn't pay much attention to class and instead, always ponteng sekolah one.
I lost a bit of my interest in form 6. But Dad was there to encourage me telling me I was 80% passed, just 20% more efforts to step into Uni. And now, I did it :)
On the March, I went to MCA Ayer Keroh branch to help up. Kinda good experience for me.
I was introduced about Amway. omg! I was about to take my STPM and really critical time and this thing popped up by my teacher some more. All he was telling were 3 things, Money, Money and still money. Brother brainwashed me telling me, it's not professional to ask a student to do this instead of studying. I listened to his advice and didn't join it.
On the 24th of May, I began my blogging journey. I wasn't active and serious into blogging that time. Just simple penned down my thought and what I learn. Never know what is blog traffic, ping websites, SEO, money blogging were like. Now I do. In fact, I learn even more in blogging. it has become my hobby to date.
And because of blogging, my result worsen. I paid attention building up my blog than to study. Mistake indeed! It's like addiction to me. I must blog or reading blog each day. Scolded badly by my dad and he was disappointed to see my trial results.
Through blogging, I met Jian aka Miao, Ruionkoh, Desmond, Terry, Long Long and Taira.
Met Mr. Khairy, the Rembau MP, Jeff Ooi, Tan Sheng Ngew and lots of MPs during school field trip to Parliament House.
I told myself to work hard and commit everything to God. Care less for what other did, I spent time to study to overcome the STPM papers. Alas, I did it with good result. At least for me, totally happy :)
On june, my grandmom passed away. I know God has His plan for her. Suffering paralyze for 13 years wasn't a small thing. I saw her faith growing no matter how hard.
July, I got my first DSLR Sony Alpha 200. Really like it and absolutely bringing it with me all the time. :)
Regret was, I couldn't spend my christmas with my dear as she was in KL for a course. I truly felt relaxed after the STPM. But one thing we learned was Cherish each other. I was so bad to her sometimes lah but now no more.
* year 2009, this year. Hmmm. Still waiting time to enter Uni and I am having super duper long holidays about 6 months. No intention to work but to help dad and spend time with family. Dad wasn't feeling well and of course it's okay for me to help, never mind that I can't go outing much cause you know la standing for hours when cooking isn't a simple thing especially holding a big kuali.
Bought battery grip, Vivitar flash, Sigma 28200mm and Minolta 3570mm for my camera. :) time to upgrade it loh.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 years taught me so many things. One of it is
be humbled and will be exalted.All these were part of my life, of course I am looking forward to living my life to fullest. My purpose of life is simple, to enjoy every moment and make sure I live it to the best I could not beyond it, Daddy Jesus is with me to go through it.
Each life has its own story, how about yours?
