WHO AM I? another revelation...

Salam

This is me...the owner of this space. My guts are coming out here... What a relief!

My full name is Normawati Jantan. I was born on the 23rd of April 1974 in Tangga Batu, Melaka. Both my parents also from Melaka aka Malacca. I was raised in Sentul Kuala Lumpur and during my childhood all I know is Kuala Lumpur. Went to Sekolah Rendah Convent Sentul from 1981 till 1986. And then to Sekolah Menengah Convent Sentul from 1987 till 1991. I also joined Sekolah Menengah Tinggi Setapak (Setapak High School) in 1992 for about 6 months only before furthering my studies at ITM Arau, Perlis from 1993 till 1995. My schooldays were those days of challenges and wonderful experiences. I do really treasure my younger days and really appreciate it a lot. I am now for what I am in result of those wonderful days. I started my kindergarden when I was 3 yrs old. Just imagine almost 4 years of a very early pre-school I've attended?? Got enough of it actually, but I enjoyed going to school. When I went to the primary school, it was a lot different, surrounded by different kinds of new friends consisted of multi racial friends. I've listed down some names that are still fresh in my memory in my previous entry. I have been to lots of ups and downs in my life events during the younger years. Being a prefect (pengawas sekolah) all the year through primary, secondary and to high school has taught me to be disciplined, hardworking, care for others, follow the rules...or you'll be in trouble!, getting pools of friends and people who knew you well.

The most memorable experience that I had during my school days was when I was chosen as one of the six oath reciters (reader) during our 35th National Day in 1992 at Dataran Merdeka in front of thousands of people who gathered that morning for the lively event. I remembered, two of us were from the Setapak High School. Me and Poovenathan (I could not exactly remember the spelling...but I used to call him Pooven!) The other four were from the other schools in the Klang Valley. I remembered the leader of the recital was a girl from St Mary. The paycheck was RM28.00 only. I did not even cashed it because never in my life at that time (18 yrs old) to receive a check from anybody. So I kept it...I do not know what happened to the check now??
