Hola!

An Arabic proverb: “Al ‘ilmu soidun. Wal kitaabatu qoidun”

English translation: Knowledge is like a beast. And writing binds it.

Went to SMAS (Sek. Men. Agama Selangor) till form 2. Skipped SRP (hooray) and traveled to Texas to continue secondary education. Joined the track team but sprained an ankle (deserved it!) hence sat on the bench for the whole season. Represented my high school in Duet Acting and Spelling competition.
