De one with Retrolook at Change!

Going backwards

Having finished my load of project work, I shut off my computer and sat down. I loved Sunday afternoon, it's blazing hot outside but just gotta love the heat. Out of nowhere, as if a different Jason in me asked myself, how much I've changed.

At that moment, blank in my mind. Like a rebooted Window's, my memories rewind, conjuring a series of snapshots of the different Jason outlook at certain points in my life. Drama and comical as if sounds, there's no better way to describe this.

The rewind stopped at when I was in primary school. I recall Jason @ 6 was already a fussy boy who's particular with his hair, which was neatly gel and combed to the side in those old-fashion schoolboy look or that shown in Little Nonya. *giggle*. Jeez..I must have looked very hilarious if that image stays till present.

Oh, I forgot to mention my early years I was a skinny chap until I grew chubby after returning from Australia (ate too much bread everyday) during my Pri 5 to Sec 2.. It was a disaster back then.

Big change occurred from Sec 3 onwards. If you have been an obedient reader, you'd have known I exercised 10kg off for someone I was infatuated with back then. Silly folly golly. Hahaha. Anyway, I'm glad, even till today, I did that. In life, nothing ventured nothing gained. Ooo, you must be wondering what's my secret.. Awww.. it's past time la.. I'm sure there are alot of gym packages and health supplements or advices or something that can help.

By the time, I was tan, lean, cutey face, still short but who cares.. funny part was.. nobody could make out whether I was chinese or malay. Haha.

Came JC years, I changed my hairstyle to those in SISPEC..you know, it's crew top except my front had a fritch, my sides and back of the head was botak! Punk right? Remember back then, only me and another student council had this.. airy, ridiculous but cool hairstyle. What else.. ooo, I became an "ambassador" of Billabong. My pencil case (those long, enormous type) and butt-hang backpack were all Billabongs.

Army.. normal la.. I look fitter, young.. I remembered once when I looked myself in the mirror after seven days of fieldcamp, as much as I was stunned, shagged but I simply adored my body back then I tell you. Sun kissed complexion, lean.. a person's most beautiful at 18. No questions about that!

Within my 2.3 years serving NS, I had 5 different hairstyle. Namely, bo-tak (during recruit), "4-3-2-1" (it's actually according to the thickness of the hair as it goes to the top of the head) during SISPEC, David Beckham's pointed hairstyle (during my SGT days) and finally subtle transition-to-Jap hairstyle (the baby stage of my current hairstyle). It was also the period I started wearing cap and polo-shirts. My hair changed its taste from gel, wax to clay. Fussy hair.. haha

Then to university freshman year, slippers, boardshorts, berms and singlets kicked its way into my life. Till date, I have what...12 pairs of slippers in my wardrobe.. mind your jaws.. Haha. Well, I changed from clay to rubber gel cause my hair grew longer, dyed my hair too. It was also a period of TOPMAN model for me.

When I begun work as an auditor, my wardrobe found new "friends" aka executive wears from Domanchi, Litmus Blue and River Island. I traded my sling bags and Philosophy backpack for Ballys, Braun and Agnes B. Belts increased two-fold. Haha, wait till I get my hands on a Dolce and Gabana's. Cost of facial products increased too as I became bolder.

Most importantly, I have changed in character. I recall I was an extremely shy, high-end introvert boy. Through the years, people I meet, friends I've known affluenced and caused me to develop my social skills.. Or should I say.. it took ONE person to land me into what I've became today. With the support of my best, good and close friends, I grew to become what I am.

Did I changed alot? Can assuringly say I did. For better or worst? I think, better I guess. And I only have my parents to thank for my facial features, ah-ma for all the norishing bird-nest since baby till now... and my friends for all your advices and life lessons I've learnt and encountered with your existence.
