Hello,

My name is Ainul Najihah bt Pauzan. My friends called me Ainul. It’d be nice if people
can just call me Ainul too because I don’t prefer being called other than my first name
Ainul, please don’t call me Najihah, Nul, or Jihah. It’s not that I don’t like my name, it’s
just that I find it so weird when people call me by my other name. I was born and raised
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Since birth, being a city girl …hmm I would say it’s not that
bad. Kuala Lumpur is in the center of Selangor state, Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur’s climate
is warm and sunny or known as equatorial. The best time to visit Kuala Lumpur is
throughout the year. The main attractions of Kuala Lumpur are Petronas Twin Tower, KL
Tower, and Merdeka Square. Kuala Lumpur is also known as a shopping paradise.
Shopping complexes such as Kuala Lumpur City Center, Pavilion, Gardens, Mid Valley
Megamall, and Berjaya Times Square are the main attraction for shoppers. Tourists can
also go shopping at Chinatown, Petaling Street, or Jalan Masjid India for a great flea
market with a huge variety of stalls. Besides that, the surrounding area in Kuala Lumpur
contains many attractions and sights. Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, the National
Monument, Butterfly, Bird Park, and the National Planetarium are all interesting places
to see. Architecture can also be seen at the old Railway Station, Parliament House, and
Sultan Abdul Samad where the Supreme Court is. The range of restaurants in Kuala
Lumpur is enormous and you can find Malay, Indian, Chinese, Thai, and other
restaurants dishing out the cuisine. Western cuisine can be found almost everywhere. I
love living here. I love Kuala Lumpur a little bit more when it comes tonight. Kuala
Lumpur’s views at night are amazing. I also love late-night drives around KL. It feels
nice to just go around KL and get surrounded by tall, huge buildings, not to mention the
colorful lights you get to see. Living here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is nice, but it was
always a great dream of mine to study and live in a foreign country and I’m looking
forward to it in the future. Let’s talk about my hobbies. I have developed many hobbies in
my life. It changes every time. Having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting
person and it can allow you to meet new people with similar interests. I have a few
hobbies. Listening to music has always been my go-to activity for all occasions. My love
for music can be traced back to when I was a child. There are recorded videos of me as a
child becoming hyperactive whenever music was played. I would run to the radio, turn on
the music to full volume and start running around dancing. Anyone who dared touch the
sound system would face my wrath. Music is still the only thing that could calm me down
whenever I cry. I love R&B songs. It gives me the needed refuge whenever I feel like my
head is spinning and I just want to shut out everything around me. I enjoy myself the
most when I listen to music because the good thing is, there is music for every occasion
and feeling. Whenever I feel depressed, I listen to sad songs. They guide me and keep me
company during those trying moments. Whenever I’m happy, I have a collection of party
songs that I dance to for hours to amplify the good feelings. The beauty of music is that it
can be incorporated with other hobbies. For instance, I also love sketching, as nice r&b
songs are playing in the background. I feel so calm when I’m sketching something while
listening to my favorite songs.
I would like to tell you about my family. My family is a typical Malaysian family.
There are my parents, my older sister (she is one year older than me), me, my little
brother (he is 13 years old), and my twin baby sisters. I am the second child in the family.
My mother’s name is Norehana Md Isa and my father’s name is Pauzan bin Jamali. Both
of my parents are very supportive. I have a good relationship with my parents and
siblings. Sometimes there is a little quarrel, but I think this is normal and we try to
resolve our problems together. I’m close with my big sister and her name is Ainul
Zulaikha. After my parents got married, they wanted to have twins but sadly it was not
their time yet. Instead, they decided to name me and my sister the same name. It was a bit
confusing as we went to the same primary school before when people keep calling our
name at the same time. We can’t help but ask which Ainul they were referring to. My
sister has always been my number one best friend. I’ve always looked up to her and she
helps me a lot with school and my problem.
I went to SMK Taman Melawati for high school. I had so much fun, and it was a good
school too! I have a good relationship with my classmates and teachers as I am sociable
in personality. I am thoughtful and helpful in school. As for my study, I pay special
attention to the development of my thinking manners so that I become quick in thinking
and broad in knowledge. Seeking reality and progress, I have achieved excellence in my
study. I particularly loved such subjects as math and English. I am strong in logical
thinking and oral expression. I am creative and unique in views on certain matters. I used
to be an athletic back in my high school years. I have won many awards for that. Morally,
I may say I am also excellent because I am strict with myself, follow the school’s rules
and regulations, took an active part in the various activities, displaying great interest in
our country’s important events and world affairs. Many years of hard-working and strict
training have made me get accepted to the university that I wanted. I am currently
studying Media and Communication at Uitm Campus Rembau. I still remember the
feeling when I waited for the result to come out. I was so nervous because I wanted to
study masscom so badly. Thankfully, I got in and I’m so happy with my decision. Now
that I’m a student again after graduating from high school. I need to learn how to manage
my time. Perhaps the biggest challenge of all as a student is getting used to being ‘in
charge of your own time. Especially when I am now in university accommodation, I
cannot rely on anyone else to get out of bed in the morning in time for my 8 am lecture or
have someone to remind me about my ‘homework’ the night before. Although it might
seem simple, having multiple assignments will leave me with a variety of deadlines to
consider. I will make sure that I write new deadlines down in my planner and keep these
in mind when planning my week. By always knowing when my deadlines are, I can avoid
the possibility of being caught out the night before and having to hastily put something
together that might not reflect my actual ability and may affect the overall grade. I’m still
trying to work on myself right now as I’m in my first year at uni.
Like many others, I also have a goal that I need to archive no matter how hard the
situations are. The goals which are close to my heart are unrealistic according to my well-
wishers, so I need to have a backup plan like goals. Oh, how I wish I could be a famous
host for a variety shows where I got to interview my favorite KPOP groups. It might
sound unrealistic but after all, they are our dream goals. So, like all my friends I also have
a realistic plan which can be archived through hard work and dedication and will also
help me to enjoy all the worldly materialistic pleasures. My goal is to become a famous
television host. I want to interview a lot of talented people out there. Let the world know
and appreciate their work or talents. In my personal life, I want to upgrade myself in a
way that I have no grudges or competition with others. I want to concentrate on making
myself a strong-willed and calm person who is not affected by the actions of others. I
know I have some leadership qualities, so will also groom myself in a way that my good
qualities are enhanced. I want to become a role model for my juniors, siblings, and co-
workers. I want to be successful in life because my parents are proud of me, and I can
give them a comfortable and happy life. But starting work doesn’t mean that I will forget
myself, but I will devote some time to the unfulfilled secret goals that I wanted to
achieve.
As for now, I’m currently a student at Uitm Campus Rembau as mentioned earlier. I’m
in my first semester right now. It’s been months since I got into university. It’s been a
great journey I can say. I’ve seen new faces. I made a lot of new friends. Now that we are
almost done with our first semester, I can say that my classmates and I became closer
because we talk to each other all weekdays throughout the semester. My classmates are
all very nice. It’s so easy to work together with them whenever we needed to make group
assignments. They helped me a lot with something I do not quite understand and I’m so
thankful for that. We get along so well. We are comfortable enough to talk and laugh
together. We even had bounding sessions to make us know each other more and more.
There is this one time when I was lost with what is going on, so they explained to me till
I understand. Just want to say that I’m so grateful that I have nice and helpful classmates.
I’m so happy to know that we will continue to be in the same class for the next semester,
which means that I can work with the same people again as well as get to see them again.
I’ll be going to my campus this April. I’m super excited. I can’t wait to go there. I have
never been to my campus before which is at Rembau, Negeri Sembilan because we were
just having online classes for our first sem. And of course, I have only known my
classmates on-screen whenever we have online classes, but we are all very excited to
finally meet each other in real life and not only in front of our laptop screen. We have
been talking a lot about what we going to do when we finally see each other. We even
planned for a short trip on semester break together. That is how close we are right now.
One of our lectures told me and my classmates about what we can do around our campus,
not going to lie but I am not sure when I heard that there is nothing much, we can do
around our campus despite how the campus is in the middle of the jungle but what I can
promise is no matter where I am, I and my classmates will somehow figure out how to
make it fun together so we will create great memories together. Writing about this makes
me want to make the time go faster so I can finally meet my classmates and not forget the
real-life learning experience on campus. I’m getting exhausted with online classes; it is
draining me.
I always wanted to see what my life would be like in the future, what will my career be
and what will I become? As I reflected on my childhood, I have many dreams and
aspirations that I would like to accomplish within the next ten years to come. In ten years,
I can see myself having many goals accomplished, if not accomplished, I will be working
on accomplishing those goals to fulfill my life. We all know when growing up that we all
wanted that fairy tale ending with houses, cars, kids, and cats. To tell you the truth, it
scares me a little to know that in one short decade I will be twenty-nine years old and that
my years of youth are coming to an end. One thing I’m certain of is that if God allows me
to get that age, I will make the most of my years and put in all my effort to become a
successful, happy woman. I see myself as a strong, independent, healthy, and most
important of all, happy woman, and I am aware that the only person that can get me there
is myself by putting all the passion, effort, and determination I have into everything I do.
A vision I have always had of myself years ahead of now is a successful interviewer that
owns a studio and is a worldwide well-known interviewer. I will have graduated with a
bachelor’s in media study from university. I want to have a chance to get to interview as
many multitalented famous people that inspire everyone. I’m sure that with perseverance
and the help of people I love, as well as God’s, I will have the chance to travel around the
world and meet many beautiful people and places.
By the time I turn 29 years old, I will have visited dozens of countries around the
world and known places of incredible beauty. Another one of my wishes is to be able to
build a very beautiful house with a painting studio, a big garden, a couple of cats, a few
nice cars, and maybe even a swimming pool and a hot tub. The reason why I want a
house with a painting studio is that I enjoy painting alone when I have free time. So, I
thought it would be nice to have a mini studio just for me and my own time alone. It’s
always been my dream to live outside of Malaysia. Not because I hate it here, it’s just
because I wanted to be independent myself to be able to live alone without relying on
other people to support me financially. I want to be able to afford everything that I want
as well as give my family and friends the gifts they deserved. Other than that, I also plan
on living a healthier lifestyle. I plan on kicking the habit of eating too much junk food
and limiting calories intake so that I keep my weight in check. I also want to switch to a
vegan diet to reduce my chances of getting meat-related illnesses, I will be joining a gym
to keep my body well-toned. Most importantly, I simply need to finish my course and get
admitted into the employment system as a star. Working ten hours a day is often my
dream. It coincides with my ten-year dream. I believe, in ten years, my stress of meeting
different demands shall have reduced significantly. I will have more time to socialize and
go out with family and friends. I will not regret spending much of my time watching
various TV channels and taking naps. Sincerely, I will be compensating myself for
having worked tirelessly hard to meet my desires and dreams. I am therefore committed
today to realize the better outcome of my ten-year dream. I am time conscious now and
struggling to spend each day wisely to better results. Now I depend on my parents for
upkeep in university. Devote almost sixteen hours a day to learn and submit my
assignments. I am driven by determination and passion for dreams.
What is the point of pursuing all these goals if I have no one to share them with? This
is the most important goal for me. I pray that within the next five years, I will settle down
and start a family. I also hope that within the same time frame I will have at least one
child, who will be my bundle of joy. I aim to have a large family of four children. I hope
to have a fun and loving family, with a unique culture that will differentiate us from the
rest of the boring families around the world. For instance, I envision my family having
karaoke sessions every Friday night. We will also be spending quality time each day as a
family. We will have breakfasts and dinners together. Weekends will be strictly for
friends and loved ones and occasionally, we will go out to have a good time. My kids will
have everything they desire, from toys to books to musical instruments. I want to
cultivate a culture in my family, where my kids will pursue whichever careers, they want
in life. My partner and I will give them a head-start in life and provide everything they
need to nurture their talents. I do not want them to go through the challenges I went
through growing up. I will also ensure that they have a proper upbringing so that they
become upright members of society. Thinking too much about the future can be
traumatizing though we cannot live without focus. We always evaluate our previous
achievements and extrapolate them into the future world. Certainly, thinking about the
future is unsuccessful and incomplete with various contradictory questions. Though there
are various challenges on daily basis, certainly we cannot stop thinking and planning on
our future progress. Failing to plan directly translates to planning to fail. Where do I see
myself in ten years, is this an atypical and relevant question to any teenager who is
aspiring for a decent life? Though it was difficult to think about the future, however,
living in hopes that tomorrow will be better today is imperative. Wishful thinking always
prospers in life. Ten years can easily move faster when there are no organized plans for
the period. However, the same decades can be a challenge for busy minds. Conversing
about the present is much easier because there are ready facts and evidence to back the
claims. However, the much we can do ten years from today is setting goals and
anticipating the outcome.
