5 things that you did for the first time

I received this tag from Zara ( you really made your word about tagging me, eh?)

It is called 'The First Time....'

Let see whether I could compose/remember the first time of things happened in my life:

1. First time I was an elder sister

My younger brother came to the world when I was 4. Before his arrival, I was so attached to my mom, I slept at night cuddling with her and I was so manja. Everyone in my family called me Adik. I remember the night my mom was hospitalized to deliver my brother, I asked my father frequently on my mom's whereabout. The next day, my father took me to the hospital and I saw my mom holding a small baby. She introduced to me my baby brother. According to my mom, I was very jealous of my baby brother that I behaved so crankily with my parents. Eventhough I was no longer the youngest, I still use 'Adik' to call myself (and I still do until now whenever I speak to my parents, and my elder sister and brother though I have 6 more younger siblings...hehehe).

2. First time I lived away from my family.

After UPSR, I got an offer from Yayasan Selangor to further my secondary education under their program in KL . I was so excited at first when I arrived, not knowing that life was going to be quite challenging for a 13-year old girl. Not long after I've started staying there, I already was very home sicked and couldn't get along with the lifestyle and the bullies. The whole year I was there, I pleaded to my parents to get me out from there and finally they complied to my request. By the end of Form 1 year, I was out from Yayasan Selangor and stayed with my family.

3. First time I had a paid job

It was after SPM. I worked as an operator at an electronic factory near my house (that time we lived in Rawang). Well, I'm so grateful that I don't work as factory operator for a living forever. Not that I look down for those working as operator but it isn't one easy job. Imagine you are doing the same routine everyday for 8 hours with small pay. And the environment also is very challenging. It really challenges your morality. With guys flirting around you, the ladies inviting you to join their weekend rendezvous (to which I had the feeling it was not healthy activities). I only worked there for a month, then I quit.

4. First time I saw my husband

I was 18 that time. We were in small community doing the A-Level program. Some friends of mine had this funny talk about each of us choosing a boy in our college to be our 'secret admire'. I didn't know to choose whom, cause honestly I had no feeling, I had just broke up from a relationship. But I wanted to be part of this giggling talk. Then one day, I saw him when we were in a bus going back from our college to the hostel. And I was telling myself 'Oh, this boy is kind of cute' and decided that he would be my 'secret admire'. From my friend, I knew his name and what class he was in. But that was all. Our relationship only started months after that when we went for a hiking trip to Gunung Korbu and we were in the same group. I'm so blessed that I met him and now we are married.

5. First time I knew about my twins' existence

I was told that I was pregnant by a general doctor through a urine test. A week after that I had bloodstain on my panties. Feeling scared, we rushed to see an obstetrician. She said I was probably facing a threatened abortion, a condition that may lead to miscarriage. She then performed ultrasound scan. While scanning my belly, she looked carefully on the screen and I heard she mumbled this "I think I see two heart beats here..." Then she looked at us, smiled and said this "I think you both are going to get a pair of twins".

Ok, I'm done and it's not so difficult to write on 'The First Time...'. So now this tag goes to Linda, Adah, Are-T, Nor and Dalina.
