defining moments
today’s topic shall be a little more personal. on the topic, everyone has a defining moment or moments in their life. unexpected events in life, which shaped us to become who we are. i had a few in my life and this is my story…
1) mom went through 6 excruciating months of treatment in order to keep me. was still born prematurely, but i survived. wahey!
2) whooping cough when i was about 5 years old, resulting in weak lungs and other respiratory issues until now.
3) had enough of people calling me fatty and lost some weight. gained some confidence at the sametime. still maintained my morbid sense of humour to negate the overweight issue.
4) lost my maternal grandma when i was 10 years old and i suddenly didn’t fear death anymore. i hope to go the way she did; surrounded with love and peacefully.
5) chose better education over friends and ended up in Kepong secondary school. made a few life-long friends in that tenure and learnt about life. still learning about it every other day.
6) got a computer and decided i would pursue this as a career rather than being a lawyer. i still wonder what the circumstances might be if i had chosen otherwise.
7) skipped the TAR College offer to wait for my University application, which failed and i ended up with APIIT. again, made some really good friends here. college life was some of the best days of my life, i might say.
9) entering the workforce and learning about the “real world”. things seem so simple when you’re young and carefree, but work will soon destroy this perception.
10) starting this bloody blog, thereby sharing my ramblings with total strangers. *grins* thank you all for sharing my thoughts and what not. you all have been a great audience.
well, that’s it in a nutshell. alright, homework time people! yeah, you didn’t think you could come in here and escape so easily did you?! blog and share your own ‘defining moments’ in life and drop me a comment. later…
