the author

    just so you know, i am not much of a people person. being an introvert, i only have a few people that i could call my friends and i'm pretty sure there are only ten of them. please do not sympathize because i hate sympathy and i asked for it to be that way so there is no need for i-am-sorry-for-you speech yeah.

     i am also not very interesting ugh. my life is quite dull to be honest; i have ten friends, i enjoy poetry and dark humor tv shows like bojack horseman (currently in season 4), i am pretty much addicted to coffee and tomyam (the greatest food of em all) and i have a love-hate relationship my course. ooff. anyway, below is a very detailed information of myself. i figured since you have already read this far, seems like you're pretty interested in knowing me or you're just trying to figure out all my flaws and destroy me in the future, in which i am very much honored to be that important of a person to you.

abilities

     back in secondary school, i was pretty good in debate (if i may say so) at one point i was addicted to it that i made everything about debate and arguments because, you know, it's interesting to see another side of things. now in degree, i mostly keep to myself (sadly). i left debate for so long i'm afraid i'm too rusty to go back to it. so most of the time i just watched the session and not join in on the session.

     

also, i was and still is involved in pantun. a very delicate art of speech, in my opinion. i struggled hard initially joining it here in iiu, considering the different format and style that i have to adapt in a short period of time. but having a loving and supporting family of pantun here, it was more of a blessing. our recent competition, we got second place and that was my proudest achievement yet here in iiu.

contributions

living for 19 years, i cant say i have contributed much to society. but i do have a few i could share. right after spm i became my school's debate trainer. every year we have competition and it is like some sort of tradition for the one who graduate to be the trainer for the school before going to uni. so yeah. it was stressful, but fun all at the same time cause i get to actually see what it feels like being the person who is not debating but is pretty much involved also at the same time hahaha


back in cfs, i also joined a few volunteering programs such as yosh and tutoring. one that i remember the most is the one where we all went to smk pekan to be facilitators for english camp there. we did had a blast!

to conclude, i just wanted to say that i am grateful for my life so far. i believe that ups and downs is inevitable but rising back up from them is what build you up. sending love to those struggling and hope to those losing.
