life as a city boys

was born in kuala lumpur. the city that never sleep. how i miss KUALA LUMPUR. whenever i think about the foods, the peoples, the traffic jams, the buses, there s no place like KUALA LUMPUR. there are so many good things and memories in KUALA LUMPUR. 24 years i lived in KUALA LUMPUR. make me a wise man. for me to livin in manchester is far way easy compare living in KUALA LUMPUR. once u can survive to live in KUALA LUMPUR definately u can survive anywhere in the world. i love my city.even st.john institution located in the centre of KUALA LUMPUR. 11 sweet memories years.st john institution and convent jalan bukit nanas, hutan simpanan bukit nanas and KUALA LUMPUR TOWER. all in one. gathered in one place. nothing that i can asked for more. its like 20 minutes walk to KLCC, SG.WANG, and currently PAVILLION.



during school days, LIFE AS A SJICB was the pin point for me to be like the way i am now. performed infront thousands of people during band competition, merdeka parade, they cheering for you and enjoying your performance could give me a goosebumps whenever i had a tot about it. such a wonderfull memories. i love my band mates, i love my school buddies, i love those babes in cbn who helped us the boys from SJI to be a man like the way we are now. cheer, jeers are normal to us. thats why we are still together like brothers and sisters.




it supposed to be 1999 marching band competition.me and my brother were part of SJICB


a few things about st john institution :

One of the school that still stands tall in the city St John's Institution, located on Bukit Nanas and surrounded by Kuala Lumpur's skyscrapers. St John's celebrating its centenial annivesary in 2004 ( 1904-2004)

The school is famous for its main block building - a red-brick building with Grecian-Spanish influences - which has been classified as a heritage building. It is the most elaborate school building in the city.

St John's was started when the federal capital's Catholic mission's efforts to set up a school for catholic boys came to fruition. Prior to that, Catholic boys attended either the Bukit Nanas Convent or the Victoria Institution (a rival school to St John's till this day), which was set up in 1893. Older boys attended the Victoria Institution, a Protestant school, much to the distress of Father Renard of the Catholic mission in Kuala Lumpur. He eventually collected enough money to build a school. On Jan 18, 1904, St John's had its first school day. Forty boys attended and the number grew to 100 within six months.

In the last 100 years, thousands of boys and girls - girls were admitted for Form 6 - from all walks of life were schooled at St John's. Royalty, children of prime ministers, politicians, merchants and civil servants went to school together. The school produced students who went on to make names for themselves in various fields. Indeed, the old-boys roll reads like a Who's Who of Malaysia.

career wise in KUALA LUMPUR. as a young product executive in MALAYSIA AIRLINES really helped me to build my confident. meeting with agents, hoteliers, gave me the chance to build my network in the travel business industries in MALAYSIA. i was a hot prospect in the industry, a well known young executive in KUALA LUMPUR. until one day i got a better offer from a chinese company who willing to take me as a head of department for muslim specialise in CHINA market. i groomed my self to be a calibre marketers and i did. almost every travel agent in KLANG VALLEY know my name. 1.5million sales turnover for 6months and i did it on my own.money is nothing for me.

im in manchester got a master degree and im jobless. but currently im doing a business proposal for **** to build up a travel consultant here in UK. the idea and concepts will be different this time. but im sure if everything run smoothly everything will back to my normal days like i used to be before..what a pathetic life innit...up and down..

and this time i have to start it all over again.
