When I was 2, I stole an orange from a fruit basket (How did I remember? Because my parents took a picture of me while I was chewing on the orange; yup, right on the peel)...

When I was 7, I stole a few dollars from my mum to buy snacks...

When I was 11 (or 12), I adopted a chinchilla ...

When I was 17, I got transferred to another school...

When I was a Sophomore (if I remembered correctly), I experienced my first "heart-break"...

And I still remembered the day when I got my very first full-time job...

And the list goes on...

There were lots of ups and downs in the past 20+ years of my life which I'd like to share with everyone. They may be tiny little things yet they have tremendous impacts of how I see the world and shape who I am.

Don't worry, it won't be a serious piece of reading stuffed with philosophy or life principles. I will keep it light and fun, just like talking to a closed friend (well, you can decide this after you finish reading)...
