June 26 afternoon, 1987. E day i was given birth by my mum. E moment of happiness share between my siblings n my parent. Aft 9 mths of borin me with e pain tt she faced just 2 give birth 2 me. At last e pain was over. There was where e embarkment of e journey of my life begin. It's a virtual cycle in life where death n e born of new generation takin over. Fr just a baby till i was nurture 2 what i m 2day. I reflect n imagine fr e time my mum give birth 2 me till e day i turn in2 a young man 2day.
Sometimes i was wonderin hw did my mum was able 2 feed e 7 of us. Sad 2 say tt 1 of my bro passed away at e age of 9 yrs old. Suffering from fits n was unable 2 b saved at tt moment of time. With just my dad workin n supportin e whole family. E 1st education i received is Kindergarten which is at Yishun. Tt's where my mum send me just 2 get me educated. As time bypass, i enter pri sch which is Peixin pri. I think that i change a lot in thinking and also attitude throughout e journey of my life. It seems that i was notorious durin pri sch time where my parent received calls fr my teacher almost everyday. Almost get expelled fr sch as 1 incident happened where i broke e principal office window. My mum bein called 2 sch bout this n was told tt i would b expelled of what i had done. Bt i was lucky tt 1 of e OM knows my mum quite long n he helped me in nt gettin expelled fr sch. Aft my mum, e OM n e principal had a talk, they say tt they would nt expelled me bt my mum have 2 pay 4 e liablities of e damages tt i had done. So everything settled when my mum agreed 2 e term n condition. Guess what happened when i rch hm?? My dad was waitin 4 me n w/o any warnin, he kick me like a ball in e hall. I almost get stabbed by my dad with a knife. Tt was e 1st time i saw my dad really lost his patience 2wards me all this while. I was lucky 2 survived tt rage of my dad due 2 my mum who blocked my dad fr stabbin me with a knife. So my bro pulled me 1 side n talk 2 me bout this matter. Sayin to me tt what else i want?? Dad worked day n nite just 2 support u 4 ur study n also my necessary income. I burst in2 tears when my bro says tt 2 me.
At e same time, i was colored by my relatives at tt point of time saying 2 their child nt 2 mixed with me as my attitude n result of study. I was furious at tt moment when ppl passin tt remarks sayin tt i would nt make it in e future. Ppl see me as i was like a thrash 2 e community. Most ppl thought tt my sis will b e 1 who will make it at tt moment. I managed 2 graduate fr pri sch in 1999 even though i was in EM2 n was unable 2 make 2 academic or express stream. Bt i was grateful tt i was able 2 moved on 2 sec sch.
E yr 2000 where i enter Greenridge sec. E beginnin of a new education lvl where i meet new ppl with different backgrs. I learnt a lot there n meet my band members n met my X GF. Acit, Amie, Aled n Aim. At e same time, my vision was 2 improved on my grades upon enterin new sch. Turnin over 2 a new leaf where i wished 2 change 4 e better in term of attitude n result. I was grateful n was shocked when i see my result. I was a 1 of e top 10 students in my stream throughout my education in Greenridge sec. Tt's where i start 2 regain ppl respect. I show them tt i'm able 2 make it 4 my future. All this while, they had been thinkin tt i was e cannot make it type bt i prove them wrong. It's been a rocky rd 4 me as i was tryin my very best 2 change myself 4 e better. Durin e evolution of turnin myself in2 some1 better, i was thinkin whether ppl r willin 2 accept me with an open arm. Like my frens say,"IT TOOK JUST A SEC 4 A PERSON 2 TURN BAD BT IT TAKES YRS 4 A PERSON 2 CHANGE HIMSELF IN2 SOME1 BETTER". I think back again what he is sayin is true. Bt i took it as a challenge 4 me 2 turn myself in2 some1 better in life. Faced with a biggest challenge durin e evolution of changin myself when i had a mid crisis with my dad. Where favourism in e family was e cause of it. I almost whack my dad with e dining chair bcos of hw he treat me durin dinner. I was totally like that's nt me at tt point of time. I was totally disappointed by e way of hw my dad treated me. It took me a 4 yrs journey in acceptin my dad back due 2 what he has done.
Passed N lvl with flyin colors n enter ITE in 2004. Where i learnt 2 walk on my 2 feet. I worked part time n study at e same time. It seems tt i had think far tt i'm 17 at tt time n shld b independent enough. W/o my mum supportin me in term of income n etc. This is where i start 2 set what i want 2 achieve in certain time n yrs. E hardwork tt i put in fr sec sch till ITE pay off as i managed 2 enter RP.
Upon enterin RP, i met e Selatras n also e Misfitz. As time bypass, i realised i meet a lot of ppl in life.
I reflects back tt i went thru a long way in life. Fr a baby till who i am 2day. Bt this will nt happened if nt bcos of my mum n also e D'fy n Misfitz. I always remember e words or phrase "REMEMBER WHERE U CAME FR". This has always been kept in me as it reminds me of nt 2 4get where i came fr n also help me 2 shape in2 better man.
