By zackischinese

  • My birth

    I was born on the 10th december 2002 to my mother Rebecca Lai and my father Azlin Khalid. I was born 7/8 Chinese and 1/8 Malay.

  • Going to my first school

    The first school I attended was called Sri Garden. Although I don't know the exact date it was around October 2006

  • Meeting my first friends

    My first friend at Sri Garden was called kok leong and he ended up my best friend for the remaining time I was at Sri Garden.

  • Moving to NWS

    I joined NWS in 2008 and it was my first time changing schools. This has influenced me as I have spent the majority of life at this school and it has shaped who I am. I also met Several of my friends on my first day of school.

  • Going to my first Maths tuition

    I was in year 3 when I went to my first maths tuition I was so excited to go. After 3 years of participating in this maths tuition I had grown to hate it I used to cry every time I had to go to class in a last attempt to get my parents to not send me but it never worked and this is where my love-hate relationship with maths started. Eventually I quit this maths tuition only to join another one later on.

  • Moving to U-Thant residence.

    This was my first time moving apartment so it was an interesting experience because I lived in the previous apartment for the majority of my childhood and I also had to leave all my old items behind which was quite hard.

  • Going to Secondary

    The night before I started my first day of secondary school I had a panic attack. I just started think about the future and how scary it was but once I started secondary it was fine.

  • Failing at the maths competition

    I did my first maths competition when I was in year 6 with no real results. I then did the subsequent maths competition in year 7 with still no result. The last kl interschool maths competition was for year 8 so this was my last one and out of nowhere I was in the tiebreaker for individual gold on stage. This made my brain go haywire to I couldn't even do simple maths I ended up losing the tiebreaker and getting second. This is a memory which will haunt me for life as I messed up my only chance.
