Recalling history of my Masters...

July 2004 - Became the Club Secretary. DG of the year was Phillip Ooi.

Jan 2005 - Enrolled into MMU for Master of Multimedia (e-Learning Technologies).
Supposed to be 4 trimesters coursework, 2 trimesters project dissertation. Completion within 2 years (i.e. 6 trimesters).
March 2005 - Elected as Club President for fiscal year of 2005/2006. (Not long after that JC started a backstabbing campaign on me.)

July 2005 - Started as the President of Lions Club of Serdang. DG of the year was Woon Fong Piew. Started my club e-bulletin; I was the first to start e-bulletin in LCI District 308-B2. My passion in Lionism started to grow more.
Dec 2005 - Completed all my coursework ahead of time (by 1 trimester).

Jan 2006 - Started my project dissertation with Tengku Putri Norishah as supervisor. (JC's backstabbing campaign was still on.) Business was seeing starting to decline.
Feb 2006 - Got to know KKW as he came to campaign. KKW has known RP for some time; so discussed campaign strategy till late night together with RP.
Mar 2006 - OCS told me that I would be the future Leader of the Lions movement.
Mar-May 2006 - Business decline was obvious. I lost my 2 most important clients. Ramlan put restriction on training. My staff...Azhar, Naza and Lina, resigned one after another. Felt very depressed. My interest in MeL Project dissertation became distracted.
Mar 2006 - Hot issue was bidding of convention organising; I (and many other Selangor Lions was behind PC's bid.)
April 2006 - At the convention in Singapore, KKW won as VDG Elect and PC won the bid to be the COCC for convention 2007 at Sunway.
Jun 2006 - AP joined....She, a jovious girl, has been able to make me smile (and remain positive) despite the declining business.

July 2006 - I started as the Zone Chairperson, my first time in Cabinet. DG of the year was Khoo Kay Huat. Got to know CKL when he brought AP and I to duck drumstick wantan mee. CKL was very nice to us.
July/Aug 2006 - COCC was started. PC was looking for Secretary; JC volunteered to be Secretary; RP recommended me to PC as Secretary. Eventually, PC appointed me as Secretary. (mmm...another sore point for JC.)
Sep/Nov 2006 - Passion in Lionism grew to high state; had secretly desired to become the DG in the future. I think I had become totally distracted; I more or less forgot my MeL Project dissertation.
Dec 2006 - Started to really want to go to the Apex. Started to attend Lions functions outside of Selangor. Often went together with CKL; friendship with CKL also grew.

Feb 2007 - Started to campaign for KS. On KKW's instruction, I went to negotiate with PC and BO to avoid 3-corner fight...indirectly, giving way to AL and KS to have a 2-corner contest. BO started to dislike me...and teamed up with JC.
Apr 2007 - Alan Soo withdrew as Banquet Chairperson. This also increased BO's anger with my Club (and included me).
Apr 2007 - At the Convention, every COC member was busy; tempers flared. AP was upset because somebody scolded her.
May 2007 - KKW offered me to RC....but..Selangor had 2 RC, Perak had 2 RC, Penang had 3 RC, Kedah & Perlis 1 RC.
end May 2007 - AP resigned. After AP left, CKL became cold with me. CKL had been very nice to AP. It was double blow to me, losing a good staff and a good friend.

July 2007 - I started as Region Chairperson. DG of the year was KKW.
July-Sep 2007 - I travelled extensively to participate in Installations. My interest in contesting for VDG had become obvious.
Aug-Sep 2007 - Other VDG aspirants were CKL, KHP, HH, and to a lesser extent, AN. AL expressed that he was not interested to enter the contest for 3rd time.
Oct/Nov 2007 - I was adviced by several to back down....JQ, Ahia L, DFWK's son, DJC. KS was backing me, KKW was backing CKL...as mentioned by PC. I offered CKL to give way to him, he being the elder brother.
Nov/Dec 2007 - I made the final decision...NOT to enter the VDG contest, and help my wife in political pre-campaign.

Feb 2008 - Big DOWN! My wife was not chosen as a Candidate. SCC nearing the election, said that this was not a bad thing. This was the start of my depression.
