My So-Called Life

The Years Gone By..... My Old Self

1976

- 18th january, i tasted the air in adventist hospital in penang. thanks God and parents.

- helllloooo world.. i am here!!! the bad-ass g is here.

- can't remember anything at that time..

1977-1982

- stayed in nibong tebal most of the time with my late grandma. can't remember much though... my brain cells weren't exactly functioning then. but late grandma sure took care of me. i owe you. and i made friends. have to say that the late boon chong and rina were my first friends.

- ok, i knew i did a few things.. playing in the playground opposite.. getting scolded coz i was a brutal punk when i was small and played with my neighbours, rina and boon chong (rip) whole a lot of times... great times

1981-82

- went to kindergarden, met up with some jokers who went on to be my good pals.... one of them was a gangsta-looking 5 year old who bullied other kids and made smaller kids cry...(you know who you are). gangsta trippin'. manchester, tronoh, dom... the list goes on and on

- the 2 years there was cool... remember that girl that basically bullied every boy (uh, we were scared of her.. she's da mob)... or that haunted toilet? haha... good stuffs, dudes.

- i missed the graduation photo session coz i was sick. and guess what? i lied to my parents about it and said i was in the photo in which i wasn't. dumb thing to do. in the end, they found out ..hahah.. arse.

- been taken care by a nice neighbour.

1983-85

- started primary 1 in 83. nothing really cool coz i ended up meeting the same crew. but we were like gangsta-trippin again, fighting with other crews from other classes..

- earned 2nd place in 84. can't really remember much... one cheeyong guy too won something that year and we went to the rehearsals together. something like that...

- oh yeah, still remember that my crew got hit by that brutal discipline teacher, shahar coz we were running around like monkeys.. i think that guy's name is saham or something.

- somewhere around here, i went to singapore and cameron highland (great place) for the first time.. but can't really recall a thing.. lost time? but sure had a mega-time.

1986-87

- can't really recall a thing, except that "jingga" (orange, my class) made a spectacular 3 years unbeaten run in soccer. we had the good players (wan, akmal....and also me...). we basically terminated every team..

- still remember mexico 86 panini cards... oh, that goal by matthues against morroco... saw it before i went to school.. killa freekick. never liked argentina winning the cup.. maybe because of that hand-of-god crap.

- i think i went for badminton in chio min hall with my dad around this time and i was not a good player.. usually getting trashed and lost to 2 kids from the hospital corner.. shit.

1988

- final year in "tunku abdul malik", my primary school. we are da mob now..

- what a year it was! getting easily beaten in the volleyball tournament. got the district call but was never told by the school...damn...

- "jingga" soccer team was beaten for the 1st time in 3 years. lost in penalty kicks.. sad. the goal is too small, i believe. but still ended up as the champ. we got good players!!!! however, i didn't score any goal in my 3 years in the team (coz i was playing at the centreback position, dumbass)..

- took "upsr" (secondary entrance exam) and full score dude... that was the last time i saw wan shahanul (a very good pal, good luck dude) and the crew.. where are you now, oi? people might leave me but not the memories.. wan shahanul, you used to come over my house and we will play cards and change our stamp collections. great time.

- also the last time i chilled out with my good neighbour, razlanzee... coz everytime i get back home, he's not around. and when he's around, i am not..

1989

- can't remember much thing...memory-lapsed..hahha...er..

- form 1. 1st time in "badlishah" (my secondary school)...what else? yeah, doing i.a (industrial arts), getting electrocuted, sawed woods, electrical stuff..was in the same class with cheehung, chienjin, dominic, aunnee, beefen etc... and a group of really funny indian pals... long live!

- since 1989, i was teased with this girl. the thing was, people get a kick teasing me with this girl. damn. well, haven't talked to her since 1995. but she's a nice girl.

- my volleyball team had a stupid name in chinese, "suicide squad" (kan se tui) but still we had this really cool jersey. now, where is my jersey?

- scouting started here...1st camp, my patrol was hammered inside-out by the gruesome warden (can't remember his name). it was really brutal, ended up walking in the river with full uniform coz no one in my patrol could remember all the scouting laws.... lessons learned.

- american top ten.... ahhahah (cheehung, you knew what it was... and you dare to say you are holy.. hahaha) ... it's something for mature audiences.. hahaha

1990

- went to "bakaugruv". this was another eye-opener...banana, you were a poet, right? my act...(ayc, morgan, myself) we did a really mental chinese-indian-malay singing deal-not-honouring play. it was really crazy, we never followed the script (were there any?). i played the bad-ass producer...and they threw me off the wooden stage...cool...really cool....still remember i was hit in the head during the handball game by that chinese girl (boo..)

- italy 90.. italy should have gone to the final.. but they lost against the crap argentines.. ricardo ferri, bergomi, maldini and beresi... the mighty defence.. and zenga too...but serena missed the final penalty kick.. crap final. duh! but justice is done when germany won.

- "selangor international scout jamboree", what a gathering. simply brilliant. i got the "silver" medal..not worth trying to get the gold..unless of course you don't want to check out the other camps and stuff that was available and also babes. the best game probably was the flying-fox. i was the security guard for a few nights (uhhhh) and managed to catch some late scouts reporting back from hanging out... still remember, every morning, the awful johor campsite radio will play "c.i.n.t.a" and "suci dalam debu" on heavy rotation that after 2 weeks, i knew all the words to those 2 songs. by the way, i was "lectured" for talking when "negaraku" (national anthem) was played in the kedah campsite. shame!. and another lecture was because i wore a singlet walking around... (were there any rules regarding singlets?) shit. oh... the shadow play.. we built the kedah's entrance and the sultan of selangor came and checked us out!

1991

- "srp" exam and the all-conquering mission. i bought u2's brilliant "acthung baby" right after it. the best album from the four guys from dublin.

- became "camp-warden". increase in power....hahha...someone forgot to wake up for the morning roll-call and got punished, cleaning the toilet, i think... :) (you know who you are).

- brilliant "jota" at bm high school. our contigent won best performance (dikir barat). i was the drummer, hitting the tin-cans... bought "black" before returning home from jota. talked crap with one metal dude scout one year junior.. safiul? soffian? what's his name?

- won the "under-15" volleyball tournament (man, we beat chio min, probably the only time smsb ever beat chio min in volleyball with me in the team). the sweetest feeling!!!!

- represented "kulim/bandar baru" in volleyball only to get trashed badly by other districts. awful games we had...0-15... high expectations but no substances. really agonizing period in my sporting life.

- met "sultan of kedah" for the 1st time during the school's prize-giving day.

- the first time i sent a card to a girl, my 1st major crush. hey, just a birthday card.. oi

- oh yeah, the swimming lesson in swimwell. now, anybody remember that foul-mouthed kid? we all came back with ninja-turtles look.

1992

- anyone remember the "solo-camp"?

- that was my best scouting experience. the fear of the crazy stomping bull at night was awesome. of course, the "is it a snake in your backpack?" (handsome boy - eng tau ba) incident was damn funny. hey, we walked around 40 km to get there and back to base. and we were fast..

- won the "best march" on sports day with the scounting crew, beating the shit out of the cadets.

- won the "sp teacher's college" debate competition (victoria, the nice malay girl, loges and myself). we were awesome, thanks to victoria.

- sadly...got outmouthed by convent in front of a fanatical convent spectators...no thanks to loges (who took time off) and arasu (no oscar for you). and myself.. (i was nervous, 99% of the crowd were females)

- met the kedah's sultan (2nd time) for srp results.

- had a horrible jota (bad weather) and i was like... lazy.. don't know why....

1993

- didn't get to go to the bon jovi concert in singapore (won the polygram contest) due to biology practical exam.... sad. gave one ticket to raymond (my parents sabotaged his letters and we lost contact ever since) and another one to my uncle. also missed out metallica earlier. ratman's bro managed to catch it. lucky devil.

- metallica rocked singapore!

- took "spm" and mission accomplished in smsb. i bought pearl jam's sophomore "vs" at ah siau right after exam. the best album from the guys from seatle.

- then went to a camp at batu feringhi. who still remember the bad-ass lady conductor on that bus? who came out with the idea to walk all the way to the butterfly farm? it was far.. anyway, it was a great trip.

- this is the year where my batch became the leaders at the annual scout camping in bahau. long live ..

- scouts won virtually everything at the school camping - 1st peruni (all uniform teams participated in it). i was the leader of the team that won the overall title (oscar, i think)... cool.

- got beaten like peanuts by chio min at the under-18 volleyball final. no fight.

- plonked the piano for the last time....(don't tell my mum, ok?).. but hey, at least i managed to get until grade 8.

- i never liked learning piano.. i was forced. should have learned guitar

- sweet victory over convent in the district debate competition. best speaker. then went on the became the kedah's state champion!!!! bought skid row's "b-sides ourselves" right after that!!!! only to be outspoken in one flash by the penang's team in the national round, and i wasn't even there...

- went to manipal's party. man, rode a bike with dragon loong in the heavy-shit rain. wooahhh. and overnight there. and took ratman back the next day.

- met the kedah's sultan (3rd time) for the debate achievement. ahhaha.

LONELY

BASTARDS
