At 15, I was at a crossroad of my life. I had to decide on whether I would be streamed into the field of biology or engineering. That was where it all started. I choose to be in the engineering field and studied Engineering Technology for my SPM level. This experience has given me the opportunity to study range of areas in Engineering such as Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical & Electronic Engineering. From this exposure, I find that Mechanical Engineering intrigues me the most. Dealing with machines, circuits, and components are my passion. I spent my free time surfing the internet and reading about the latest technology at the Popular Science websites and I cannot get enough of it. When I come across a new invention that interest me, I would read every little detail and share it with my friends. Apart from knowledge that I gain, I also learn to share the information with others. It was not an overnight decision but I know that the choice of undertaking engineering is something that I will not regret.

In the Engineering Technology subject that I took during high school, I was introduced to pneumatics, hydraulics, and electrical circuit which I know will be an advantage for me in Mechanical Engineering. Besides that, I have also learned about Engineering Drawing which include auxiliary view, perspective projection, and dispersion drawing that will help me to understand engineering subjects better. Since the Computer Science nowadays plays a significance role in Engineering. Thus, I am glad to have been exposed to AutoCAD software. I believed that what I learn so far is just the surface of engineering field and I cannot wait for the next stage. So, I am ready to pursue my interest in Mechanical Engineering.

I love challenges in the real world. The field of engineering offers challenges that need critical thinking in solving problems. So far, I have applied my knowledge at 2003's Asia Pacific Bridge Model Competition held at the Malaysia University of Technology where my team constructed a bridge model with certain specifications. Although my team and I did not win in the competition, I felt proud to be given the opportunity to demonstrate the invention to audience especially the Professors. It was an experience that boosted my confidence to present ideas. I am also interested in computers and internet. At 14, I have successfully built my own websites. Inspired by the attractive and sophisticated design produced by 2Advanced Studios (a website design company), I become serious in web designing until now. The greatest moment was when I became the champion in the National Designing Website Competition held at Multimedia University.

In many ways, I am different from others. I love to express my feelings through graphic designs where I use Adobe Photoshop software to produce digital artworks. The knowledge that I acquire helped me to combine calligraphy and computer graphic which spark interest in Arts to the people around me. Later, I was elected to be the President of the Arts Club. In music, I was given the chance to enter a band competition where I was the lead guitarist for my band. It was a bonus when my band won the event for group's performance. On the field, I play rugby where the fast decision making skill and tactical strategies involved in this game made me to be more alert and ready for all possibilities. I have also joined the JERI Club to provide English Tutorial for school kids around the college. Through this activity, I have developed my communication skill. Besides that, I had also volunteered at the local rehabilitation centre where I worked with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and autistic kids. The time spent with the children has taught me to be grateful with what I have. All the things that I have been through have taught me to be more ready for the future. I do not consider myself a genius, but I do try very hard to become the best. And I believe that what we do in life echoes to eternity.
