I'm a slow coach.

Time to time, I have been wondering whether I'm really slow at picking up things.

In secondary school days, I am always with my group of friends, namely, Dave and Philip.

To me, they were like my seniors even though we were in the same class. They were more street-wise, and it seemed that at that age, they had already familiared themselves with most of the places in the city.

In their conversations, I was always at a lost. It seemed so distance apart, yet I wanted to say something, anything with them! (chap jeka) Most likely, I will end up being teased and joked around. ~_~a

They guilded me into the AVA club in the school. And I learnt video camera from Philip who was the IC that time. David on the other hand, teached me a bit of camera shooting stuffs.

I'm always glad to have them around me. Cause I know with them beside, I won't get lost.

Maybe I was too dependent on them then. So now, I have to suffer the consequences and started to get lost easily... (got to learn things the hard way then)

During my JC days, I thought Physics was really hard. I seemed to understand what my teacher was trying to explain, but not what the questions were asking.

Only till when I'm back to studying after my National Service, I realise I can now understand what those basic Physics law are talking about.

I began to wonder why I couldn't understand such simple stuff. (eg. there was a question in the exam, which wanted to find a speed of a shuttle or watever, in a day , travelling a given distance)

I just didn't get the catch that a day is 24hr, 24x60 min, 24x60x60 sec. And thus the question was left blank. If I didn't remember wrongly, it was my Physics exam paper 3. I left with nearly 80% of the paper blank.

I couldn't think, my mind was in a blank, I was panicking, after the exam, all I could do was to pray.

I got a D. I wasn't happy though I managed a pass.
The solution was later taught by my friend (candle) to me. ^_^

Perhaps, I'm really a slow coach.

While people have already boarded the bus, I'm the one left behind chasing after the bus.

This did not sadden me because I always look on the bright side.
"However slow one can be, as long as he keeps running and chasing, he will still pass through all the bus-stops eventually!"
