My name is Ray Lim Kah Liong, born in 1991. This is my first time writing a blog, so I thought writing about myself first for a start. Okay, here goes. I came from a poor family, I have 2 sisters and I am the youngest in the family. I am very naughty when i was a kid, especially in school. Why i say that? Hmm, I will just share with just one of the most humiliating experience when i was in Primary 4, I disturbed the senior girls (Primary 6) until I was thrown in to the storeroom topless as a punishment by the teachers. And at the end of the day, i went to the girls and apologize..topless too. And get another extra punishment when i reach home, belt canning from my dad~!
I'd say my life is kinda dull, I don't know...you decide. I learnt how to be independent when i was 17 years old and i learnt a lot of values and experience from the people i met in the working industry.
My dad passed on from this world when i was 10 years old. It was on a normal day, where usually is my dad who picks me up from school but that day, it was his best friend who picks me up. We always go mountain hiking together. I asked him where is dad? and he told me that dad is in the hospital and i might not be able to see him anymore. I thought he was just kidding, but he drove us to the hospital. I was stunned when i see my dad lying down on the bad, ill. I still couldn't believe it is really happening at that time and i was blur. On that night, he passed on. Then a week after that, my mom got stroke. Since then, as i can recall, we had to move 5 times in 2 years. So right now, we finally end up living with my brother-in-law.
I started working when i was 17 years old, my first job was a sales promoter, and i did other jobs as well like waiter, cook, network support technician, and currently a clerk and sales person. At the age of 20, i have traveled all around Sabah and Sarawak which i think its a big achievement for me and my age, thanks to my job as an network support technician in a semi-government company, SAINS. But then, i resigned because i felt that it is a waste for me to spend my time permanently in a company while i can go out and learn something else. So i decided to further my studies at SEGi College Sarawak, taking Bachelor of Honors in Business and Management 3+3 in collaboration with University of Sunderland, United Kingdom.
Working is indeed good, i gained a lot of experiences and skills from my colleagues. And they are the one that made me realize i am still young so i need to go out and venture some more, not binding myself to just one company. So i would like to thank them and i really appreciate their advice.
Oh! and i forgot to mention that i studied in an all boys school since Primary 4. I transferred to St. Joseph after my dad passed on and i studied there until Secondary school. I had to admit, i am still very naughty. So all i have in mind is just play and play and play. i am a sports freak at that time, i play basketball, tennis, badminton, rugby (that's how i fracture my right ankle), did taekwondo and that's why I have never thought of having a girl friend at all, although St Teresa is just across the road. My love life at that time was..err..i should say i don't have a love life.
My first love was in 2009, after i completed my National Service in Betong. NS was super fun! We went in unhappy because we need to shave our head but we leave the camp with teary eyes. I met this girl after we came out from camp, i don't know how we started it but to me, she is like a companion who is there for you all the time. So we are in a relationship for 2 years, and we broke up during Raya eve. I remember because i cried all the way from Sibu to Kuching in the plane. Well, the reason why she breaks up with me, its a bit ridiculous but its true. According to her, the fortuneteller said that we are like water and fire, and she wrapped up the whole thing by saying she don't know what kind of person i am and i am a bad guy. So my question is, in those 2 years, I flew and drive all the way to Sibu just to see her was meaningless? That is my first love.
My second love, was pretty fast. To me, she is like my pillar of support. No other girls except my mom and my sisters have ever seen me cry. She is the first girl who ever seen my tears. So i thought i can depend on her, because i feel that i have been independent for far too long. I need someone who i can trust to lay my head down on their shoulder. But, in the end, she left me. Apparently, she have no more feelings towards me and she likes another guy.
Well, here i am being independent again. So last night, i couldn't sleep. I reflected a lot. I can't really blame them, they are also pursuing their own happiness. So what can i do? They have made their decision and i can't do anything about it. My first love taught me to persevere in life, loyalty and love. My second love taught me how to appreciate life. Because of her, i worked hard to change my life. I wanted to give her the best, even though i cant even give myself the best. That's how i ended up doing 2 jobs now while studying.
Both love taught me, not to believe in every sweet words and promises. To me now, every words and promises from girls are lies. So, i have learnt something again.
