Satay

I am Suffian Hakim Bin Supoano.
I am 1.79 metres tall. 61kg light.
I am Malay. I am Muslim. Politically put, I am a moderate one.
I am serving my country as a national serviceman. Which makes me bald.
My all-time favourite song is Wonderwall by Oasis.
It's been my favourite since I was 11.
I love playing soccer. Can't stand watching it though. Makes me wish I was in the thick of the action.
I have a soccer team called TLFC. Won't tell you what that stands for. I play down the left wing for them.
I love to sprint. That short burst of power. That rush as the entire world falls back behind you, lagging, while you go ahead, pushing yourself ahead in front of everyone else.
I love my family. Mom, dad, my 3 brothers aged 16, 14 and 3 and most of all, my grandma.
I love my friends.
I have my 5 SJI Mats. There's Nazir, who's been my best friend since I was 11. There's Aizat, my classmate in those heady days of junior college, and my main partner in crime.
There's Nas, my cousin's cousin's cousin. But I'm closer to him than I am to some of my immediate cousins.
There's Mus, who's seen me grow up, go through hell and heaven, and also, who can draw really well.
Then there's Is, our spiritual leader.
Then there's the other members of my inner circle.
Like Sylvester, whose dad owns Loy Kee Chicken Rice, some famous Hainanese chicken rice franchise. And he's also my personal chauffeur.
And Alvin, my instant-connection friend from sec 1, who's now in New York University in uh, New York, making his way into the world of corporate success.
What can I do that not everybody can do?
What do I have that not everybody has?
I have some form of confidence.
I have some form of sense of humour.
I have some form of undying loyalty.
I have contacts some businessmen would eat Pulau Tekong food for.
I am Suffian Hakim Bin Supoano, and no matter what happens, I will never forget any of this.
