My first ever - 27 years ago!

Hi friends, good to catch up once again. When I look back through the years and how carrom has evolved, its truly amazing. Been there, done that and here I am now - playing international carrom. Did I ever expect or dream that I would come this far? NO! NEVER! Everything happens only by HIS grace. So having had played carrom for almost 30 years, I'm glad I actually won something way back in 1985 during my schooldays. It was my runners-up plaque in doubles with my partner at that time - Edmund Fernandez. The plaque was kinda "dusty" although in was in a showcase but still had to use thinner to remove some stubborn dirt and now as you can see - it's SHINY. As for my partner, I guess now he has totally lost touch. Can't blame them as everyone has gone into different directions doing different things i.e. getting married, having a family, caught up with work, etc. etc. Gladly, my passion for carrom never died. Hope to leave behind a carrom legacy in Malaysia.
