Ordinary
I reminded myself in an astutely yet funnily assuring way that...
I am anything but
ORDINARY.I have been reviewing myself too many times. I have been scrutinising at all my fine details over and over again. I have been trying to put myself in HR personnels' shoes. Trying to write and present the 'bestest' me in coverletters and fine tweaking and customising resumes for different positions. So much so that I have realised.
I am anything but
ORDINARY.
Ordinary people dont go through what I have been through. I have been at highest pinnacles of my life, at certain ages, and have been at the helms of the finest ships of life. That ship is of course me. I have steered myself into the best person that I can be so far. No doubt we can always improve.
I am anything but
ORDINARY.
Ordinary people do not achieve the things that I have done. I have never consistently been the best all the time. But I have at certain points of my life reached the top.
The earliest achievements that I can remember,
Representing my P1 class for story telling back in Eunos Primary. Haha. No doubt I actually choked on staged and couldnt relate the story to the best that Ms.Suppiah believed my potential to be. What do you expect then from a P1 kid going on stage and looking at so many eyes peering on him ?
I recieved my first ever and seems to be my last too
*chuckles*, book prize when I was in P3. Well it wasnt for topping my class. 3rd place aint so bad aite ?
I represented Guillemard Pri for Soccer in the old Geylang District Inter School. Sadly we were the whipping boys back then. So what ? I remember vaguely that I only played 1 half in the entire tournament but the memories goes on till today. Heck I even qualified to play takraw for my primary school but mum back then called the Cikgu to not select me cause I did not score A's. Oh well. Thats what happens when your parents are teahers and they know your school teachers.
Oh...I am remembering that I was even the pledge reader during primary school. Upper primary of course. You people do remember right that there was once a time in our life that we recited the pledge every morning. This came after the national anthem of course. So there I was standing dimutively, very small in frame size by standing in front of the whole school. Everyone following my words in unison.
I am definietly anything but
ORDINARY.
*cool air runs through the spine*And this are only my small achievements in my life. This downtime I am having, I am sure its temporary. Common let me whiff the air up there again.
Let me begin my slow uphill ascend.
For I am definietly anything but
ORDINARY.Ok I re-read once through before posting and thought what the hell. FYI, I do not post all this in my resume. Haha. Just to make it clear cause when I read this post, it sounds like I input all this info in my resume. Wacko man. Oh if any HR personnel from big MNC are reading this *hints* please help to submit my documents to the relevant managers yah.
An Extra
ORDINARY thanks from me
