I'm never the type to self praise or in the old Malay saying "angkat bakul sendiri" . Translation : carrying your own basket. I cringe at writing CV's . It feel's like I'm being the biggest dick in the world trying to sell myself . It's not like I dont have those qualities, but it sounds so pretentious in writing , and I'm always a strong believer of actions speak louder than words. But today , as I was walking back from gym to Tim's apartment . I was silently counting my blessings , my smallest achievements, my milestones, my miracles , and my dreams/passions.

Who would have thought , the fat chubby kid  ( obese in Asian standards) , will turn out to be a gym junkie . Dead lifting 40kgs , squatting 45kgs and running 5-6ks a day. My current weight is the same as I was in year 5 haha , although now I'm heaps taller.

Who would have thought the nerdy kid with the huge glasses, and the pimply infested face , will be getting married soon to a good-looking fella. ps: pimples are gone :)

Who would have thought that the dumb kid in college will be working in New Zealand ! And a pharmacist at that! I had a teacher in college tell me " I rather save the 99 sheep , than save you , the one sheep " after I asked her to teach me stats. She also told me I will have nothing to do in the health profession as I was too dumb , and stats was needed to calculate drug concentrations etc. Ironically , I'm now a legalized drug dealer. I did visit college a few years back , just to rub it in and tell her im doing pharmacy. Her expression : PRICELESS

I've had a few people tell me along the way , that I would amount to nothing. Wasn't worth their time , and energy. Then again , I've had people believe in me , guided me through my way , cleaned up my puke , sobered me up, taught me maturity , supported and nurtured me. To you people (you know who you are) , I would one day love to pay back those good deeds. I am who I am now , because of you's. Life is a funny journey , its an adventure that you choose to embark and with whom. I've found my soul mate in this life time. I'm blessed.
