I am half malay, quarter bugis and quarter Chinese. My grandmother’s family traveled all the way from Guangdong, China in late 1890s. Where else, my accentors from both grandfathers were Bugis.

Interesting facts taken from Wikipedia, “In historical European literature, the Bugis have a reputation for being fierce, war-like, and industrious. Honor, status, and rank are of great importance to the Bugis. They are a self-sufficient people who have a positive self-image and are very confident of their own abilities.”

During my school days, I was bounded with several responsibilities in managing clubs’ activities (including being the school prefect) as well as participating in major events like School band competition and Commonwealth Games hosted by Malaysia in 1998.

Moving forward, in 2002, I was accepted to enroll as a Diploma of Information Technology student in Multimedia University (Malacca Campus) for 2 years. It was at Multimedia University where I met Haliq and both managed to complete the courses on time with CGPA 3.34 average. Furthermore, I continued being an active student by joining the theater club where my biggest participation was with the Malacca’s Ministry Department for Malaysia’s Independence Day. I was one of the actors and the “ketua biro persembahan”. Easy speaking, all performances were under my command.

Thereafter, I enrolled for BIT (hons) Information System Engineering in Multimedia University (Cyberjaya Campus). However, things do not go as well as it seems. I decided to quit and changed my degree program to BBA (hons) Marketing with Multimedia. There are so many reliable factors of quitting. Click here to know why. Soon after my unpredictable decision, I managed to put myself together and establish my dues as a student and daughter.

Moreover, after being so gung-ho in extra curricular activities since primary school, I decided to declare my social retirement. As I reached 20, I had too many expectations. I got tired and wanted to focus on one thing, to score in life.

Now, with all the blessings from family, friends and boyfriend, I never felt settled. I shall complete my 3 years degree program (with no extension) in a couple of months and I am keyed up to attend my first job interview.
