1. DESPITE being the youngest in my family, I'm actually not the most manja amongst my siblings unlike what people think. That distinction belongs to my sister. Pompan perrr...
2. I'm not sure people don't know this, but I'm the proud uncle of 3 nephews via my siblings: Zulfikri, Zulhilmi and 'Aqil Zhafir.
3. I used to love to draw. As a 5 year old kid, I used to draw Robocop, fighter planes and helicopters, dinosaurs and MRT and SBS buses. I was as tall as the tires then, and I was always fascinated by how the hubcabs looked when the wheels moved. I enrolled in Yamaha Art School at Pasir Ris in K2. In secondary school I used to draw shoes and boots.
4. I once entered a Design-a-Boot competition held by adidas UK when I was in Sec 2. The prize was that adidas would make a pair of those boots done according to your design especially for you, and would bring you on a tour of adidas factories in Europe. I got shortlisted amongst the finalists! There was a campaign in VS last time to vote for my entry. Eventually I was disqualified because turns out the competition was open only to UK residents =(
5. I used to read up alot on dinosaurs and planes and missles, and could mouth them off e.g. Pachycephalosaurus, Deinonychus, Compsognathus, and their facts as a 5-year-old. My childhood ambition was to be a pilot in the Air Force like my distant cousin and former Aksi Mat Yoyo alumni, Lieutenant-Colonel Zakir (Abang Zakir).
6. I almost became a fighter pilot last year. I passed my psychomotor computer test, my interview somewhere around May last year with a Colonel, a Captain, and a woman psychologist who grilled me on my problems (at that time it involved a certain girl), and actually passed. And I even signed a pre-contract! But somehow, after I went for the medical, they didn't get back to me after that. Even today.
7. My dad told me that as a 3 year old, there was one time when I was stark naked and sitting on his lap as he was reading me a storybook about Cinderella. Apparently I asked,
'Ayah ayah, kenapa Cinderella tak pakai baju macam Hitam?' (I was pelat then)
'Pasal Cinderella tahu malu, bukan macam Hikam, no shame' came the reply.
8. When warning me against being too playful and waking me up to the realities of life after one poor performance during my school exams as a 14-year-old, my dad told me that one of his friends had actually enquired about my availability as a future son-in-law for his daughter, and apparently wanted to 'chope' me, because according to him I was supposedly 'smart' and 'handsome' and have a 'good family and religious background', but my dad refused. And he refused to divulge as to whom this friend was, in order not to make me feel awkward. Till this day I don't know who it is.
9. I am 1/8 Chinese.

10. I had an operation when I was 15 on my right thigh bone, to remove a dormant virus which got inside the bone apparently through a stress fracture which I didn't know I had, probably caused by playing too much football in Sec 1 and 2. This caused me to be on crutches for more than a month, causing my right leg to waste and shrink almost to the bone, while my left leg became super-muscular due to it supporting my entire body weight. A few months of hydro and physiotherapy later, I was going against doctor's orders and playing football again. Which actually helped to build up my muscles again, so there was some good there.
11. Alhamdulillah I have been on Umrah twice =) once as a 10 year old, once as a 15 year old. The first time round, I managed to struggle and cling on to the Kaabah cloth tight amidst pushing and shoving by giant Arabs in my determination to kiss the Heavenly Stone located at one corner of the Kaabah. Miraculously, a Turk appeared out of nowhere, forced his way through, and pulled my head down towards the stone, such that both me and my father managed to kiss and smell a bit of Heaven's fragrance. To this day I am certain Allah helped me to gain that experience. The 2nd time around, my dad went with the intention to mintak petunjuk as to how to deal with my leg problem, after which he got the inspiration or suratan to send me for the operation above.
12. I am actually the 5th child. Or I might not even have existed today. Because my mom's first child was lost when a truck reversed into her and she collapsed beneath it while heavily pregnant and walking through a carpark. Left with the dilemma of trying to save the baby at the risk of my mother's life, my dad made the choice to save my mother's life, so that they can try again. Till this day, they shed a tear for their unborn child whenever I ask them about it, and I have learnt not to ask them about it. Inalillahiwainnailaihirrajiun.
13. I underwent a pembersihan and buka aura course when I was 18, and learnt about and experienced the metaphysical world, force and energies which made me realize that there's an entire world out there the Western world is not privy to, as what I have experienced is classified as teknologi Al-Qur'an and ijazah handed down from guru to student. It totally converted me from being a skeptic to one who's opened his mind.
14. As a 5-6 year old kid, my brothers being 8 and 9 years older than me respectively, used to fling and throw me around my sister's Queen-sized bed and also to practice their wrestling moves and played rough. They also used to kick around a football with me and that's a big reason why I picked up football at the age of 5. At the same time, my sister, being the only girl amongst my siblings, she used to make me play Barbie dolls with her, and cut-out paper dolls with dresses, and host tea parties with her dolls. And oh. Polly Pocket too.
15. A big reason why I listen to such rock and metal music is because as a kid, my brothers who were in their teens then used to watch MTV, which at that time was playing alot of rock and metal such as Guns N' Roses, Megadeth, RHCP, Firehouse and whatnot. However, I do listen to abit or R & B and hiphop now and then, and give me a beautiful Disney soundtrack anyday as I absolutely love them.
