AbOuT MeThe overwhelming part for me was the kids. 5 of them . Ranging from the smallest 1 yr old to the eldest age 5. Its not that i do not love kids.. I do.. But guess I'm just not used to having many small kids running around at one point of time screaming and shouting. My focus of concentration will be short span and ya... i get headaches.. Being too used to the peacefulness and silence in my house really pampered me ... haha (gotta learn how to adapt man.... ish!)
Even during my family gatherings (eg : hari raya) I do admit that my family circle if inclusive of my cousins are huge but then I do not have many little ones.. Most of them are all grown up and even the little ones are kinda well behaved ( err.. maybe to the fact that most of them are girls??) Hey love, i'm not saying that ur niece and nephews arent well behaved...they are just too hyper lah.. khekhe!
And yes i took the mrt home earlier... ehemz!! haha. Not bad.. Manage to get a seat the whole journey thru.. Thank goodness that it was the school holidays... While playing my PSP, i did manage to observe few people at the same time... esp students. There was this gal who was holding a book really caught my attention.. It reads "O-Level Social Studies"..
"What???" They have social studies for O-Level?? Since when huh?? I learnt that in primary school and now they have O-Level??
I tried hard to recap back what social studies was all about... oh well.. I failed miserably lah. I cant even remember a single thing. Then again, i cant recall anything bout my primary school stuffs.. It just doesnt have any major impact on me. The only vivid thin I remember was.. I was in the best class from Pri 1 to Pri 4... getting last in class in Primary 4, which got me transffered to another class in Primary 5 cos of my very poor results and my PSLE results was just on the dot to make it to secondary school. Primary school also can fail.. Haha.. SO imagine how naughty i was even in Primary school.
I was not like my other cousins... But who cares.. Guess I buck up in secondary school and till now I am very proud of my achievements and I never regretted the steps I took. Made my whole family proud during my N-Levels.. Continued with my O's.. My O-Level results could have secured me a place in any Junior College but I chose to go to ITE. Most of my friends says I'm stupid but I chose to believe otherwise.. Cant blame them .. An aggregate of 14 for all my 6 subjects.. Who wouldnt have thought of me to be stupid.. Haha.. The reason I went to ITE was because I didnt get into the course that I wanted very badly in Temasek Poly.. That was to study law.. I had all the criteria that they need.. At least an A2 in English but then.. I submitted my applications too late i guess.. They gave me other courses which didnt interest me one bit. You can never imagine my disappointment when that application of mine was rejected. .
I wanted to give up studying at that point of time... But my mom was against it.. So to make my mum feel better... That's how I landed myself in ITE... HAHA... Thought my mischievious days will end?? NOpz.. NOt at all... Nearly got expelled from ITE due to disciplinary reasons but my studies remain unchanged.. In that period of 2 years got myself 4 scholarship certs that make my piggy bank grow bigger.. Could have made it straight to year 2 of polytechnic but I chose to embark in the working force instead...
And now here I am... I am blessed with an "EXTRAORDINARY" career... (yeah yeah yeah... my colleagues will know better)
Hmmm... panjang jugak ek story aku... haha....
** 4th December 1996 - The day that I made my WHOLE family proud..... Yippee!!!! Selenger jugak eh muka aku... haha
