Once upon a time, of course every story starts at some point of a time and mine starts off on 3rd of March 1987. That was the day when i was born. I've gotten some info from my mom that I am the fattest among my siblings even when I was a baby and till now I am still the fattest. Me below with my sister fat and chubby.
But of course, we started growing up and I could remember that when I was just 4 years old, I helped my uncle serving mee in my uncle's coffee shop or in Malaysian terms a "kopitiam". The shop was located at Gat Lebuh Presgrave if i am not mistaken. Above the shop is where I lived. Although it is not luxurious but I received all the love there. Life used to be simple. I played everyday, and my mom used to spoil me with gifts and toys. Well, even strangers give me gifts. 
I used to be cute at that time. My father was a businessman and still is now. My mother was a housewife that time. The shop is my home and it is located near a place where we Penangites are proud of which is KOMTAR(Kompleks Tunku Abdul Rahman). That's right. I am a city boy. but in the cities we do have fun our own way. Whenever it rains, the road will be flooded with water. I used to play in the dirty water where the water comes from the sewer and trust me it's damn disgusting but those were the days. I can hardly remember my life there. Everything is so vague and blurry.
When I was 5. My mom send me to the kindergarten. The name of the kindergarten was Trinity Methodist Church Kindergarten and I usually wear a vest to school. Just like the picture beside. She always reminded me that studying will be of most important to me in the future. On the 1st day of kindergarten, my mom was carrying me around the school to meet with my teacher but as she was about to leave, well, I started crying real loud. So, she have no choice but to stay with me till the end of the class. I admit that I couldn't leave my family anytime anywhere and till now it is still the same. Then, as time passes by, I get used to it and have fun studying in the kindergarten. I used to be hardworking when I was small and finished my homework. This is all thanks to my mother who lead me all the way and would teach me everyday. When in kindergarten I already started thinking 
about life and how life moves about. Usually kids have fun but I do think of this kind of stuff and learn how to think positive. Odd right~ kids never thinks of life and just enjoy themselves but I dunno what makes me different from them. In the kindergartens I met with new friends and till now some of them are still in contact with me such as Jeannie Beh, Simon Loh, Su-Mei and Mei ying. In the kindergarten, I used to play a game of gangster and I am the boss with lots of follower. So everytime when we are having our break, we would cause lots of mischief. When I reach 6, that was the 1st time, I liked someone. Guess who? Yeap I've mentioned her name just now. She was Su-Mei. It was love at first sight and this is what we all call puppy love and because of this feeling, I tried to be a good boy, not playing games and trying to impress her. Erm~ all those doesn't really help much. She still did not notice me. haha. So, my whole 6 years old was just trying to impress a girl. Funny huh~ When we come to the end of my kindergarten life I thought I would never see her again.
I couldn't really recall the first few years of my life. Obviously, lots of people does not remember those time as well but I am pretty sure that was the best time I ever had~ The time when I don't need to worry about anything. Just laugh whenever I want to and cry whenever I want to.
4 years old

The Accident
It was on the 2nd week of my schooling days in Primary. 1pm and the final bell rung. I was heading to the side gate as usual to wait for my mom and I saw the Pak cik selling ice cream on the opposite side of the road. I dunno why I want to buy the ice cream opposite the road when I could buy ice cream in my school canteen. Then,......(To be continue...)
