Today marked the end of my 22nd year since I joined the ranks of the earthlings.
Throughout my 22nd year in this world, there were many little, yet important milestones made, and I figure now is the time I list them down permanently into the persistent fabric of the Net.
June 2011 – MDeC Undergraduate Training
This is a government-sponsored soft + technical skills training for undergraduates, which I think was very inspiring and somehow showed us a glimpse of what we’re capable of.
July 2011 – [First Time] Got Spoon-fed by a Girl :P
It was Bryan and Joseph’s idea. I’m innocent, really :3
August 2011 – [First Time] Road Trip with (only) Friends
Including the camera man (shown below), the lamest possible combination of friends you could possibly find. The result? Awesome time :D
August 2011 – [First Time] Hiking with Friends
And this is the origin of the awesome photo above. Met with two tan chi gui (shown below) that later on became a big chunk of my life.
September 2011 – [First Time] Officially Joined a Company
My first full-time job – as a software engineer. First time working in Cyberjaya too :3
Learned quite a lot during the course of working in this company, especially on smart card and government multi-purpose card as well as their related technologies.
October 2011 – Graduated with First Class Honours
Got selected to present a short speech in front of 2011 KBU-SHU graduates.
November 2011 – [First Time] Road Accident
Had my first accident during a heavy downpour between Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. Got fined RM 300. Moral of the story: drive slow when it’s raining – you’ll never know if there’s a pool of water right in front of you.
Well, that was the only moral of the story, before I got rammed from the back on the next day by another car while my (mom’s) car was perfectly stationary during a jam in LDP.
December 2012 – [First Time] Beijing Business Trip
Went on a business trip with boss to Beijing to finalize system designs with China counterpart. No time to go for sightseeing, yet still a very fruitful trip :D
December 2012 – [First Time] Wrote Software for the Government
Wrote MyKad initialization and personalization SDK for JPN. Besides that, setup and deployed the new MyKad KMS, and conducted my first UAT with JPN.
January 2012 – [First Time] Baked a Pizza
Though there were numerous attempts of baking something before this, this was one of the first attempts of baking unassisted (there was cookie, but I’m too lazy to post that) :P

Sweet, sweet victory… Finally.

Accidentally drank invisible potion on that day.
March 2012 – [First Time] Being on TV (Animax)
Attended Animax Carnival 2012 and got interviewed (along with Shi Hao) by Animax. I was told we made it on TV, but I didn’t get to watch it myself. Aaaand no, that’s not me inside the Beelzebub costume.
