*Almost missed this flight! Last one to enter the flight, is like less than 20-30 minutes before departure time! Thanks to the crew at the counter on making a call to the crew at the gate and told the flight attendants that there's one guy left. The guy printed out an empty flight ticket and wrote my name, flight number, seat number and hand me that ticket. Also would like to thanks to all the people on allowing me to cut the que and went to the security check, immigration counter first. Then sprint to the gate and board on the plane!

*I will still stay in the sport and improve my performance to another level. There are more rooms for me to improve my performance as I have not reach my peak still.
