Journal Entry #1 - Life Of The Writer

By Gregory Low - August 29, 2013

Hey guys,

It all started 16 years ago,on October 13,a new life was born.This new life form was given away by his mother to a couple who really wanted a child but couldn't get one,no matter how many times they tried.This newborn baby wasn't much like other babies,where they constantly cried.This one was a very cheerful infant,constantly smiling.Years went by,and this child was really demanding on toys.Everywhere he goes,he must buy a toy,doesn't matter of the price.

This child was very interested in HotWheels and was constantly collecting tons of different types of HotWheels cars that he could get his hands on.This child managed to get around 15 different types of tracks with a collection of over 150 different cars.Soon after that,this kid was influenced with the Play Station 1,which was his companion for life!He couldn't last a day without playing it.

For this kids age to be around 5 or 6,it was pretty "early" for him to be playing PG13 games which involved shooting (FPS) and mild language.The games were very addicting though.This whole thing went on,until the kid received his Play Station 2 at the age of 9.Now that was a major upgrade!

I forgot to mention,this kid also had two GameBoy Advance XP's which he carelessly lost,one in his school and another in a church.The poor child didn't have any portable gadgets since then,until he received his Samsung flip-phone at the age of 8.There were 3 games,one was a penalty strike football game,a spaceship shooter/flying game,and another game which was similar to Maple Story.This "smart" kid deleted all three of those games after 2 years.....leaving him with nothing.

Growing up was hard,and this kid was very shy,which is why he constantly got bullied during his primary years.But he remained strong and pulled through even if there were so many bad things coming his way from all directions.Then came UPSR (a standard six main examination).He managed to achieve 3 A's and 2 B's which was pretty good.

When he reached Year 7,he was signed-up into a ASEAN Scholarship examination course,which was a brain-killer!Majority of the things that he learned has never been taught before,so that was a huge knockdown.He tried his best for the exams,but failed tragically.If he passed,he would be able to stay in Singapore and have a really high education advantage there.

This kid then got his laptop and Play Station Portable Go when he was 14 (Year 8) which was the coolest year of his life.Those things were everything to him.He didn't have much to do with his computer,until a few of his friends came and encouraged him to try and play StarCraft 2.He played and bought the full game,and got really engrossed with it.

It was so addictive until he even woke up in the middle of the night just to play the game and win some battle points which helps him get to a higher ranking in the multi-player section.This lasted until early this year where he gave his laptop to the shop to get it repaired and couldn't claim it back.He managed to get a laptop provided by the government,which was awesome at first,until he realized that he couldn't do much with it,so it was a waste.

Into his personal life,he didn't really have any "love" experiences though the thought of having a crush with a girl was constantly in his mind,especially when he saw someone really gorgeous or cute!He managed to get into a really "short" relationship with someone (private areas) but didn't work out after a few months,because he wasn't trying so hard and was constantly chickening out.

This kid once created and published a Tower Defense game which was deleted a few hours later due to many bugs in the log data and he couldn't figure out where the problems were coming from.

He then decided to become a game designer when he grew up.Until one day he started to sing,and his whole family said that he was gifted with a wonderful voice,so he decided to add singer to his job list.

The kid here is the one writing this very post,me myself and I.Haha.
