In the past three months, some things happened in my life that let me had a glimpse of the life ahead of me. It’s like I had a sneak peek at some future attractions of my life that’s becoming. Some goals I’ve always had at the back of my mind and, in a playful fashion, the ultimate power of the universe decided to let me in on what’s possible in my life if I keep concerting my move in this direction.

And it occured to me: I’m closer than I think. A lot closer, in fact.

Just last weekend, I’ve attended the National Achiever’s Congress in KL courtesy of my company, and it was really eye opening. At one point, a speaker challenged all attendees who inspire to become public speakers to go up on stage, and of course, I couldn’t let this chance go and jump up on stage in an instance. Around 20 of us went up on stage. I tried my hardest to savor the moment. As I looked around at the crowd, feeling somewhat like the world is revolving around me, it became clear to me that this is not just a dream anymore but a clear possibility of the choices I’ve made and will be making.

(To be continued….)

(I’ve started writing this post some time ago and could’nt find the time to finish it yet, so bear with me while I indulge myself in procrastination. Everytime I log on and think of writing, I’ll think of something else more important to do. Anyway, just thought of posting the first part to let you guys know I’m still alive!)

My whole life, people have been coming up to me saying one particular thing more than anything else: "You’re damn tall!"

Actually, not exactly ‘my whole life’, cause I used to be nicknamed ’shortie’ by my brother when I was young, like before 10. Now, I’ve made him regret calling me that. I mean, really really regret it.
I’ve been gaining height ever since, without stop until I was 21 or something cause I was still getting taller when I was in University.

Chinese people are tall too.

I still get those comments when I meet someone new, and what really amuses me is I got a few messages lately in friendster commenting on my heights, both from people I know and I don’t know. It boggles me, because some of these people have known me for years! You know who you are.

Just why? Why is it still suprising to you guys that I am tall? There are times when I’ve not seen a friend for some time and when we walk together, suddenly, I get that wierd look from them, like my nose is suddenly missing, or a tree just grew out of my head, and get that perplexing question: "Did you grow taller, or am I having optical illusion?", and then they’ll normally walk a bit away from me cause they say I make them look short.

Reality check: Nothing can MAKE you look short, cause you ARE short.

Seriously. I’ve been through this numerous times. You won’t belive it. It happens so often, it’s almost funny. See me laughing?  Ha. Ha.

I’ve got an announcement to make to everyone in the entire universe and beyond: I‘ve not grown any taller since I left uni, which is like 7 years ago! It’s either you’ve grown shorter or you’re standing at that wierd angle which deflects lights and bend it in a way so it creates the illusion that I’m taller than usual. That’s the only explaination I’ve got for you.

Another message to my friends: I am tall, LIVE WITH IT.

And if you’re envious of how tall I am: NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH!!

Ahem.
