ME !! Me !! and More of ME !!!!!
Names' Derek Lee, and here's all the dirt about me
Introduction
I was born in Singapore on 26 August 1978, which
makes me hit the B-I-G 2 0 this year :(. My star sign happens to be Virgo,
which I don't really know if it is a good or bad, considering the kind of
comments a male would get about it.
Kiddy Life
Hmmm.... I suppose my early childhood, can be considered to be one of much
fun and lauughter. I went to a kindergarten from about age 3 or something,
and it was really fun. We had some classes, which was supposed to be an
introduction to REAL education. Naturally, the work was simple, and the
breaks were numerous..... Not too bad to start school, I stupidly believed.
ARGHHH School Starts !!
Ok, ok, so I was BIG time wrong !!! The work just keeps piling up. And
guess what, I was in an all guys school !! YUCKS !!! Admist my school days,
I enjoyed the privilege of travelling around with my parents to place which
I seem to have no impression of, yet my photo appears beside those familiar
landmarks. After six years, I completed what was know as primary education
in Singapore.
I'm in High School ???
The shock of getting into High School or Secondary school as we call it,
wasn't as bad as everyone made it sound. I was pretty happy there and ended
up going nuts about computers, photography, ansd effectively anything but
study. I even ended up in the Cadet Corps, and had to march in the National
Day Parade, wchih turned out pretty fun.
Getting Close
RUDE shock here !!! My parents "shipped" me off to Melbourne to do my foundation
studies. I did the equivlent of the HSC Year 12, with the Monash Uni Foundation
Program. I really loved Melbourne, with all the shopping and the good food,
but best of all was the FREEDOM !!! NO parents !!! NO one to bother with
me !!! Oh well, that was it. I ended up partying daily and effectively
lost track of what was going on around me.
Woo Hooo !!!! I'm in University !!!
HA, proved everyone wrong again !! I actually managed to get into Sydney
University. I'm now in my third year doing a Bachelor of Commerce degree
with the Economics Faculty I
have not been involved in every society that exists but I suppose I have
a fair involvement in bits of everything. Really can't say much about uni,
cos I suppose I don't know what else to say.......
The Future . . . . .
After I graduate, I have to go back to Singapore to serve my National Service,
whcih is sorta Army service for all Singaporean guys. This is going to
last two and a half years, after which I have no idea what to do. Looking
on the bright side, I still have ages to think about it.
