The Past

Most of you peeps don't know me as a kid.....but I was taller and bigger than everyone!!!! Argh.....why am I so puny now.....doesn't help that in my profession now the people come in two sizes, huge and huge with definition. Even amongst my immediate colleagues lie the world's longest bicep(Yaps), thunder thighs(amos), model(ali F), Akuma(botaks) and a rugger(nick lim). So unfair....am going to work hard now that I'm consigned to gym cos of my shin splint and inability to run.

Am amazed by my ability to write articles that mirror that of the newspaper(my articles are natural crowd pullers...lol). Look at yesterday's entry and compare it to the article in todays newpaper abt ugly guys in uni. Although I'm a guy, I actually fully agree that many wussies are in the uni.....well, all the gd ones prefer to go abroad if they can make it financially. This kinda goes back into my beliefs in eugenics, namely, rich men and capable men rather marry pretty wives right ? Darwinism acting here I should say, as its kinda like a survival of the fittest where the alpha male/female picks the best mate for itself. And when this happens, even if the guy/lady is ugly, the fact that the mate is pretty would mean that the kid has a 50% chance of looking fairly decent(according to the law of averages). Just look at the european aristocrats now, many of them are fairly good looking. Just face it people, genes are everything when it comes to natural good looks........y are my parents so short !!!!!!!!!! Argh. haha.

Back to the topic. In days of yore, yours truly was a great terror even in kindergarten where me and Raoul terrorised all the other kids with our sheer size. ahaha. Raoul for your info didnt stop growing like me and is strappling now at like 180+. Thats abt all I remember abt kindergarten....wasnt't too bright then......

Primary Sch was a blast ! Thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Remember I beat up a guy on the 1st day cos he made fun of my shirt. Dumb ass. haha. But am glad to let all you ppl out there that I am strictly a pacifist(person who does not believe in violence) rite now. haha. Lotsa soccer and fights back then. Remember in pri 3 I was like 2nd in command of a mini school gang that would go ard with wooden long rulers(80 cents) as our mode of weapon and beat other gangs up. When long rulers were banned due to their primary objective,(secondary objective was to draw lines obviously) we upgraded to the long metal pointers($1.20) that we could detract and keep in our pockets. It must have been by seeing our skirmishes that George Lucas came up with his epic fighting scenes. =) All those knocks must have taken its toll as I scored a measly 219 for my PSLE(hands up people who lost to me......damn.....no one ?), which resulted in a somewhat painful 4 years in Sec Sch.

Hai Sing Catholic(my dad still pronouces it as hai shing, despite numerous corrections, proof of his subconcious disappointment that his son ain't a chip of the old block, he's a bloody Rafflesian, part of the reason I went to AC so that I wld have common RI haters. heh), a real eye opener. For once, life wasn't the nice bed of flowers that I was supposed to have fallen on, everything was different, the way people talked and their outlooks on life. The 1st 6 months were horrible in many ways I cannot describe....maybe that's why I flunked my mid-years, the last time I ever did badly in an exam at that school. But I can't deny that it was fun in a way, in fact, my sec 2 year still rates as among my fave years. haha. Totally corrupt as a class moniter and thoroughly enjoyable for everyone who benefitted too through all the cheating during class tests and the facade of us being thought of as obedient....haha, those lookouts i posted were really effective! But still, it was difficult for yours truly to really fit in with crowd, I always felt that I was somehow there, and yet excluded at the same time as if there was an invisible boundary between me and the rest.....was terribly ugly then with my centre parting(trying to fit in..) and super thin frame.....my mother thought I looked like a horse....I think so too(even now, when I feel sad, I juz look at those ol' sec 1 photos and I start laffing at myself...am sick la).....ah well, at least I like to think I am an ugly duckling and the true metamorphisis was seen at the prom in sec 4 where the great one was crowned prom king...lol....yay, am nt ugly anymore! Oh ya, and class valedictorian too.....still trying to retrieve the video of my graduation so I can hear my speech over and over again. Am a narcissist now la, what to do, spent 4 years thinking I was hideous, no thanks to all those 'nice' comments made by others around me, really low on self-confidence during that point of life....... Sucky, ugly and stupid.....who wouldn't be ? *pause for laughter by reader*

Anyway, in a nutshell, that is my past, could go on and on, and maybe I will....another time when I have nothing else to write abt. Always a good topic. Stay tuned folks, soon to come topics will include, Amelia(just to whet your appetite), the Poamister's top 10 ranking of fave and hated people and many more!!!!
