WARNING: Full On Bragging Post Ahead. :P

Okay. It took me a while to dig out what makes me a standout in life.

But then, I took a step back and thought, why do I have to think so hard.
Just dish out whatever that I’ve done over the past many years and throw it all out!

To me, what makes me a standout in life is all my personal achievements. Throughout my life, I practically did much of my own decision making in my own life since high school. What I wanted to do, and what I wanted to achieve. I like to be different from what other people do.

First of all, why I am a standout is because I AM SUPER CUTE WHEN I WAS A BABY!
Don’t believe me? See for yourself! hahaha


Cute?

I always wanted to become a pilot since young. That ambition came because I always traveled with my mom all over Asia Pacific. Then it came upon one day I had a chance to visit the cockpit of AirAsia flight when I was going to Kota Kinabalu. Since I can’t become a pilot, at least I manage to get into the restricted area of an aircraft. (pretty much restricted since 9/11). Okay lah many others did enter before lah, but not many ma… :P


Flying with the Captain… :P

Back in high school, I was the most stand out in class! I scored like 5As 2Bs in PMR. That score put me in science class and it is the first science class summore! We got Science 1 and Science 2. Damn good right? Nope that’s not it. I was even more standout when I was in Science 1 class. I slept during classes, I skip classes with excuse of prefect duties, oh I skip classes for Tennis games also.

Best part of all, I was number 1 in class! From the back… Hahaha. OMG! What a shame but I am still proud, because I pass my SPM! Hmmmphhh!!


OMG! Look at the Gangster me!

During college even better. I remember this fondly and I will not forget this. There was this MAPCU Scholarship being offered in college for Tourism Management studies. I applied and I got this 100% Scholarship. Why am I so proud? Because, I went against another student who got 10 A1s and I only have 1 A1 in my result with a lot of other numbers. Whoa! Proud! (Bragging session #1). Then I got this Marc Combes Award during Diploma.


2004 and 2005 recipient of the award.

Oh.. also, I’ve been to Maldives. I am so proud to say this because not many people have been to Maldives. OMG! (Bragging session #2) muahahha.. Right Nadia? Right? Right? hahaha

I never like dress up for parties, but somehow I did manage to dress up for the previous two parties by Nuffnang. The Nuffnang Music Bash and the recent LG Blog Launch. The semangatness. I should dress up better lah. I would say, standout among many, but for the LG Blog Launch compared to Robb as an Angel, cannot lah… Lucky I didn’t go as a Devil. Red Mummy! That crazy woman!

Then once I joined this Chipster contest by doing some stupid things just to win. Stupid things like this photo I took. Superb right? hahaha

yapthomas and final chipster

Earlier this year, I spent my birthday with the less fortunate. Even more surprise that Jade Chan wrote an article in Star Metro out of it. One for the books definitely. Decided to do something different during my birthday. :D I personally like this moment the best and it strikes off one item in my 2009 to do list.


That’s Christina the 6yr old, Simon the 2yr old and Jacob the 13yrold…

And being a blogger, I am a standout too! Because I am part of the DGMB. Now that stands for Definitely Gang, Maybe Bang. Come on, you gotta be super damn cool to be part of DGMB and DGMB consist no more than 17 people. Those who have once came for our events would be considered cool too, because they joined our events and gatherings. So yes, I am a standout as a blogger thanks to DGMB and thanks to Nuffnang also lah because without Nuffnang, I wouldn’t have met the other 16 DGMBians. ;)

Hmmm… what else? Let’s see in my career. I would definitely say that I am a standout amongst my friends in my age in the same industry I am in. I joined the workforce in 2006 after finishing my Higher Diploma in 2005. A decision which was tough but I had to.

Working from bottom and a blink of an eye, this year is my fourth year working with this company. Meeting clients, they say I am very successful in this age while I just shrug it off as it is a matter of hard work that paid off well. This year also I’ve got an award from The Company. It is a Gold Performer Award and I’m the first recipient of the award. Proud? Of course I am!

Last reason why I am a standout is that recently a Senior Manager of an Oil & Gas company came to me offering me a job that pays me double of what I am getting now. He said “I can see you can a better job compared to anyone else I’ve met“. I politely declined. (Who would be so stupid to push it away right? There, this blogger la by the name of YapThomas.) I for one does not want to look into salary for now. I want to look for an experience which I don’t get anywhere else. Which is why I am staying with my The Company.

There are just so much more to list but, these are the few that pretty much says why I am a Stand Out among the rest within my league. Oh please don’t compare me to some other top notch big timer lah. Cannot lah like that. Not balance wei….

You tell me… all the above… am I a standout? :P

This is an entry to Tiger and Nuffnang Standout Party…

Come on Nuffnang, gimme invite just because I AM A STAND OUT!!! :D
