First time...

First time I felt embarrassed, was when my Primary school teacher slapped me in front of the whole class for being too mischievous. I still respect her a lot after the incident cause I know it's my fault.
First time I played soccer, was when I was in Primary 4. I remember I scored on my debut..haha. Love the game ever since then.
First time I scored full marks for my maths, I promised myself that I'll score full marks for all my maths paper. I din get full marks the second time round, and I gave up ever since then.
First time I felt guilty, was when I caused my brother to fall, resulting in a scar on his forehead. I still feel bad whenever I see his scar.
First time I won a gold medal, was when my team won the soccer tournament in JC. I remembered that I scored the equalizing goal against the favourites after coming on for 5 mins and we go on to win thru penalties.
First time I kissed someone, was my mum actually. I can't explain myself, just felt extremely happy after she bought me a present which I liked very much. I was still young then.
First time I fall in love with someone, I wanted her so much that I almost cried. Now I can only remember her name, but not her face. And I've become a lot more numb.
First time I got my pay, was when I worked as a waiter in four season's hotel. I spent the money with no worries, knowing that its earned by me and not my parents. I realised that money is not easy to make.
First time I got a handphone, was when I was in army. I was using pager before that, but when I look around these days, even a primary school kid is carrying a handphone. Time has changed.
First time I killed an animal, was in army when I killed a snake with barb wire and my boots. I had to do it for safety, it was tranpassing our exercise site. Sorry, snake.
First time I smoked, was when I was in army too. Took a puff from my fren's cigarette, but din really like it. I wonder why they get so addicted to it, including my dad. I dun smoke after that.
First time I sang on stage, was during Hall D&D where I had to perform in a competition. It was an interesting experience. I din win though.
First time I supported Newcastle UTD was when I was in Sec 1. I supported them when I saw the way they beat Manchester 5-0 in a charity shield. I still remember Albert's delicate chip. It's been 10 years since.
First time I'm really proud of myself, was when I collected my 'O' level results. I trashed those who looked down on me and those who thought they were so much smarter. I was the second top student in my school.
First time I'm almost kicked out of college, was in JC when the disciplinary master deemed that I got attitude problem. I believed that I have been to his office even more times than his counsellors. I'm a gd boy actually.
First time I did drama, was in JC where I was the props I/C and artistic director. We had a wonderful team and great time together. Still remember that I was the only guy in the main committee, felt kinda weird... haha.

These are the special 'first times' which I had in my life so far. If only I can capture these moments. Things just would not be the same during the second time...

All that you measure. All that you feel. All this you can leave behind. All that you reason. All that you care. It's only time. And I'll never fill up all my mind... (quoted from the song Walk on by U2)
