Things that you might not know about Jeg

1.Jeg once thought he was going to be the youngest child. He was enjoying every single moment of it (including getting prizes although he lost the drawing competitions). He finally realised that his time was up when the siblings celebrated the birth of the latest addition in the family, Alifah Nadia. While the rest were making a song for their new younger sibling, he sat on the stairs, sucking on 'botol susu', feeling very-very disappointed. He was four. 1987

2.Jeg loves drawing since he was 3. His favourite character was 'Ha-birm-birm Ha-birm-birm' which he used to draw on the blank first pages of encyclopedias. That character was indeed his own creation; a big headed troll, something that looks like the blue character in Vauxhall advert 'Come on!' 1985

3.Jeg is a fan of dinosaurs and other pre-historic animals and he used to force his dad to see Dinosaurs Alive shows which were held miles away from Taiping. 1993

He was also being bullied by his brothers for having a round belly and a big head, loved dancing and even put on his mom's lipstick. He also used to be wearing his elder sister's recycled swimsuit for swimming. Talk about saving some costs there. 1985-1992

8.Jeg's kindergarten sweetheart was Nurul Huda. It was a bit of rivalry in terms of study, drawing competitions and popularity contest i.e. who should take the main acting post, the lead singer. 1988-1989.

10.While his mom was working only metres away from his house (JPJ Taiping), Patti and Minahchi were responsible of taking care of Jeg. "Minahchi used to turn the rice into golf-ball sized oblongs to make me finish the meal," he recalls. Oblongs.. haha!

14.His rival in Sekolah Agama Assam Kumbang was Hafiz 'Kedai Mara'. He had this odd pronounciation on 'R' thus he was famously knowns as Hafiz Kedai Mavah. Hafiz asked for more marks one day and pipped me to the First Place in class. Disgusting. 1990

15.Jeg once stole Hafiz's credit card bearing his mother's name in a hope for revenge. Jeg even managed to take 50 cent from Hafiz's wallet to buy a nasik lemak sambal. Jeg regretted his mistakes and promised not to steal since. 1990

Hmm... the good old days... whatever happened to Jeg now?
