I was 4 years old and i dont really remember the details.. ( Im amazed at how some people can recall so much) ..itd been 3 years since we moved to penang..I think i was studying at a tadika in USM ..eh...4 years old is too young for kindergarten rite?... so then i must have been staying at home with the baby sitter.. learning to read from flash cards.. ( I started reading slightly late)and I was still THE youngest child in the family back then so i was pretty spoilt..I had lots of toys and i remembered having this one favourite white teddy bear which one day got blown away during a very bad storm..It was a pretty scary day and i think this is what started my fear for strong winds and lightning..I can still picture the trees slightly bent due to the wind...
( eyh.... i DO remember stuff!!)

It was my second year in a boarding school far away from home...I was still trying to cope with seniority basis.. studies and friends... I remembered having to live with third formers and hating it..It was the year i dressed up as a BIRD!! for the annual house party and despite looking like a walking orange coloured rag, i had a good time..This year was also the year i missed out school for about a month and spent 2 weeks in the hospital, living only on IV drip and ice cubes..I underwent 2 surgeries.. One was for appendicitis and the other one was to repair some complication caused by the first.

It was my final year doing A levels...this is where i met most of my current friends..Id say it was one of the most enjoyable times of my life.. Yeah we might have lived in the middle of nowhere.. but there were so many fun activities to do...It was the place where i found out that u can actually mix studies with fun...Surprisingly i was active in sports.. playing games every afternoon.. and even played netball for the college...
There were also numerous trips to Tanjung Malim..Restoran Jejantas Sungai Buluh..KLCC and Istana Budaya.
Overall : totally auwesome!
