30 years ago

1 year ago, around this time...
I was in the States, having my months of technical training upon entering this new company I'm working with now. My new sports life had begun - the endurance sports.

3 years ago, around this time...
I was working in PJ area with the previous company, a Japanese one. Work has started to slow down, less and less design projects to do, lots of business opportunities were lost due to high competition on the global level. My motivation was degrading so much that I started sending out my resume for better job opportunities. As my motivation went down, so did my sporting activities.

5 years ago, around this time...
I just came back from a year of job training in Japan. Motivation was sky high. I could even communicate in Japanese language - both written and spoken. I thought life was just about to start, with me signing up the purchase agreement of a condominium. Not until later I realized that the 'hard life' had just started. By the way, I managed to play volleyball a bit here and there with the company team. Ala, just for fun (and for the company t-shirts, hahaha).

10 years ago, around this time...
I just started my first year doing degree at the university in the UK. Perhaps, enjoying the title as 'graduate students'. Hmm, maybe the word enjoy is not approproately being used here. Anyway, life during this time was pretty easy peasey, with the only thing I focused was to get a degree, as what I promised my dad. My sports life? Zero!

15 years ago, around this time...
If I'm not mistaken, by this time I had just finished doing PMR (Penilaian Menengah Rendah). I was among the many form 3 students who was first being introduced to PMR, rather than the SRP (Sijil Rendah Pelajaran). My sports life could be considered as very active as I participated in lots of sports normally played at secondary schools like hockey, volleyball, table-tennis, some track n' field stuffs, tennis and a bit of soccer. Life was fun!

20 years ago, around this time...
I barely remember what happened 20 years back. One thing I do remember was that I changed schools a lot. At one point, I changed schools every year because of my father's work nature.

30 years ago, around this time...
A great young mom gave birth to a healthy little baby boy. And the little baby boy was - ehem ehem, ME!

Fajar,
Thanks bro. Same wishes go to you too (not the b'day part la).

DJ,
I can't believe you still remember that 'moment in life'.
Siot je, aku lalu betul2 depan batang idung kau pun kau tak perasan. The lion-king-hair-style i had at that time really did the job well. hahaha.
