welcome to my world

wow!!!! how time flies... it seems only like yesterday..... I was once a care free child,lookin forward to leading that much hyped about  "adulthood." somehow I find it fascinating  2 fit in those shoes......studying was a chore... and I'm puzzled still on how I got hooked into writing.... I've 2 admit its the only passion which kept me goin.... I may not be  some nobel prize winning author  wz groupies anxiously waiting to have your book as the next subject to "rave" about on their next book club meeting.... I write as it helps me 2 ooze those nerves out from my system....

I remembered  clearly when the writing bug hit me... It was 1987... I was in year 3 .. The writing task was apparently in  Bahasa Melayu & I  mastered the language pretty well at that age..... ( I assumed I was) and I was required 2 write about the aliens invading the island.... My teacher was astonished with  my end product & she apparently thought  I plagiarised the whole story.....probably it was a spoof between star wars & orang minyak or somethin....But frankly speaking my imagination took  me to places  which  I least expected & it obviously helped..my story was the highlight that afternoon... call it pride or somewhat ego... that  story made  a turning point of looking at my life narratively.. life  which beared a little relevance to the world I knew about.... thats  when i realised  how mightier my pen was back then.....
