With the tagline “Qu Puteh, Qu Puteh, barulah putih”, Datuk Seri Dr Hasmiza Othman has

Seri Vida, she has built her cosmetic and health products empire of Vida Beauty Sdn. Bhd. from
ground up. Her two biggest selling products are the Pamoga health drink and Qu Puteh skin
whitening cream.

Currently living in Ipoh, this Kelantan born entrepreneur and former teacher has been involved

Question 5

Read the text below

Hi, I am Nursarah. I have several friends at school . Some are my schoolmates and
some are my classmates . However the best among them is Arrisa, who is my classmate.

Arissa is a fair, pretty girl with dimpled cheeks and comes from a respectable family.
She is of my age but is much taller than I am. She and I first met at kindergarten and we
became great friends. She is kind, jolly and helpful. We are classmates again this year and
we go to school together each morning.

Arissa is very neat and clean in her dress. She likes wearing a white blouse, a long
skirt and black shoes. Her clothes are always costly but never showy. Her dress gives her a
respectable look. It shows that she is not foppish at all.

Arissa likes to joke and play games. She lives near my house. In the evenings, we
usually meet at my house. We sit in the garden and read story books. Sometimes, when my
parents go out in the evening, she comes over to keep me company and we watch television
together. That way I do not feel lonely.

My best friend is very good in her lessons especially at Mathematics. She never
neglects her studies. In the last examination she stood second in the class but was the best
scorer in English and Mathematics. So, whenever I find difficulties in my Mathematics
homework, I would ask her to help me.

Arissa is active and smart. She is good at both studies and games. No wonder she is
loved by all the teachers. She is frank and honest. She also helps her parents in the house
with the chores. She never wastes her time at home or school.

Arissa is a girl of excellent moral character. She is expected to be a great lady in the
years to come. All her good qualities have attracted me. I hope Arissa and I will be in the
same class again next year. I like her very much and she is my best friend.
