As an adventurer sailing around arts and design, I often find myself exploring new ideas and ways of visual expressions. Although my core strength is photo editing, I am interested in a variety of things across different media including video editing, web-design, and more.
I consider myself a white color; blends in anywhere and can turn into any color, while always retraining a distinct and unchanged bright white part of me.
I will strive to listen to my soul more often and act accordingly. Before I start believing any information is reliable, I will analyze and think it through; not because someone said, but because I strongly believe so. I will maintain my focus on what I truly wish to do; my goals in life and keep enjoy life the best I can. I will fully enjoy all the challenges that life brings me on the table, and learn as much as possible from them. I will keep myself from any bounds that I do not enjoy, and I will keep my core values intact at any time, to be my true self.

Description: Exercise is not only important for physical wellbeing but also for my mind and spirit. Playing I like badminton, and so I will regularly play badminton with my friend, family, or a sport-group at least once a week for at least an hour. That means, if I continue this habit for 6 months, I will be playing a minimum of 24 hours of badminton.
Milestone: This is a continuous goal; getting into a habit of playing at least once a week is my first step.
Deadline: 6 months later, I should have completed 24 hours of badminton playtime.
Description: Learning and being able to play a new musical instrument always fascinates me. I will learn a musical instrument called “Tabla” while I am in India, which is 6 months from now. In 6 months time, I should be able to play a Tabla rhythm of at least 10 different songs with fluency.
Milestone: By the 3rd month, I should be comfortable with the instrument and its playing techniques that I can learn songs with ease.
Deadline: 6 months from now, that is 19th November 2020
Description: Our body is like a temple. Taking a good care of our body is crucial, and I would like to keep myself healthy for 10 years and more to come. This means, by measure, my weight should not gain because of unnecessary fats. My fats should turn into muscles, my diet should be healthier (possibly vegan), and I should be able to feel younger and more active than I am today.
Milestone: After 1 year, I should feel younger and more energetic than I am today.
Deadline: 10 years from now.

Some of my academic achievements I would like to mention is honing my musical talents, doing an internship in Japan, and joining etc. Magazine Club.
I am happy that I was abe to use my musical talents for my graphic design projects, from which I learned that doing something by myself, instead of relying on others, feels great.
My internship gave me so much experience and knowledge, from Japanese business manners to web-design knowledge… It was indeed an unforgettable journey.
In etc. Magazine club, I had an opportunity to work on the magazine design of Taylor’s University’s magazine published by the students.
While I enjoyed my academic life, I also went to many events and gatherings. Some were voluteer events to feed the needy, others were cleaning hike where we picked up the trash in the waterfall.
Some social events I joined included Malaysian cooking class, camping, hiking, and more.
I truly enjoy interacting with new people from around the world; sharing experiences through stories inspire me and it’s something I wish to continue doing in the future as well.
One of the amazing experience I had include teaching kids English at a kindergarten in Japan. It gave me an immense exposure to the working environment in Japan and how to deal with kids of different ages.
Aside from that, I am also a freelance translator and graphic designer. I do all kinds of different jobs including on-site multi-lingual interpretation, social media graphic design, video editing, web designing, and more. I enjoy working on a variety of things and I aim to continue to challenge myself to work on more variety of jobs.
Throughout the year, I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience, not only in academic life but also outside of it. Internship was one of the main event that happened, where I got a precious exposure to Japanese working environment in multiple fields of experties including web design, stage production, engineering design, and more. I aim to keep learning and persuing my goals, while enjoying every singe bits of them.
