1. What did you want to be when you grew up?
If my memory serves me well, masa standard 1 and 2, my first choice cikgu la...belum nampak profession lain lagi time ni, standard 3, it changed to LAWYER...and it remains until the last year kita isi fail kuning kat sekolah tu...

2. Did you follow through? If not, what happened?
Of course. Habis SPM, I filled in borang UPU and ITM. For UPU, my first until fourth choice was undang-undang la...last sekali aku letak English (dah tak tau nak letak apa). For borang ITM, aku apply public admin since takleh straight amik law, kena ada STPM. i got my first choice, matriks undang-undang kat UIA and also Dip Public Admin in ITM. Went to UIA for 6 years, where actually i kind of wasted 2 years in matrics, because actually it can be shortened to a year, tapi dean masa tu tak bagi. time matriks, aku relaxed sgt, masa tu banyak lepak kat kl and subang. perabih duit govt. study pun main-main. masuk main campus in gombak, baru terhegeh-hegeh nak study betul-betul. Graduated in 2001, did my chambering, admitted as an advocate and solicitor in April, 2002 at Shah Alam High Court. Then I started practicing until December 2004. By this time dah disilussioned dengan the practicing world. Apa lagi...join PTD la...

3. Is your life turning out the way you thought it would when you were a kid?If not, is it better or worse?
When i wanted to become a lawyer, i rasa dunia lawyer best sgt. i pun tak berapa ingat kenapa i was so attracted to practicing world. rasanya influence parents gak ni...sebab i read a lot, i cakap a lot. so my parents kata i would make a good lawyer. then influence tv la jugak ni. So my life did turn out ok i guess. I didn't regret my decision to quit practice though admittedly i do miss the days mengangkut files banyak-banyak naik komuter or LRT, jalan tengah panas pakai baju hitam putih, present cases, lepas kes lepak ngan kengkawan...after lunch time baru masuk opis. My life turns out just the way i wanted up to the day i applied for PTD and it took a surprisingly wicked turn when they sent me to research. Enough said.

4. Paradoxes aside, if you could time-travel back to when you were 10 years old, what would you tell your 10-year-old self?
Belajar berenang betul-betul, nanti tak yah susah susah kat INTAN.

5. Do you think the child you were, would like the adult you've become?
More or less. When i was a kid, i envisioned myself as a different kind of adult, but fate shaped the adult that i become today. Can't complain.
