MY BACKGROUND.
My name is Eliya Qasrina Yoong Binti Mohd Danial Yoong and I was born on the 2nd of August 2002. I live in Kuching Sarawak with two other siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. The only thing that stands out at this point is that I am half Chinese but I got the Malay looks from my mother. People tend to say we look more like siblings but I'm still the prettier one though. Anyways, I have a strong bond with my family and I truly am grateful for their existence.
I used to go to an English based kindergarten so I have been practicing the language since I was a kid. I went to an all girls school in my primary years and achieved straight A's for my UPSR. I furthered my studies in Kolej Datu Patinggi Abang Haji Abdillah during secondary school and I had a near miss for my PT3 and the B was my science. Nevertheless, I continued to pursue my studies under science stream and coincidentally (not so shocking) I scored Bs for all my science subjects.
Well, at least I got an A+ for my English right?
ME.
I usually go by El with both my friends and teachers because its easy and you cant wrong pronouncing it.
How am I as a person?
Those who don't know me would have easily said im not approachable due to the resting B face I have but those who know me would say otherwise. For starters, I am a Leo! From the words of others and myself (i know myself the best), I am someone who can interact and make friends with people easily. I am still choosy though when it comes to choosing friends because the vibe matters. I love receiving the same energy I give.
I am an extrovert who loves putting myself out there doing things. I usually stick to my comfort zone when it comes to the food I eat but other than that, trying new things wouldn't be a problem to me! I love doing outdoor activities with friends and family such as long rides to food hunt, having random picnics, hiking at mountains, cycling around the neighborhood and many more. I personally love physical activities rather than being stuck at home doing nothing. The covid-19 virus outbreak in deed affected me as a person knowing that I am not able to go to places and walk around freely anymore.
I like challenges and believe I work well under pressure, trust me, I really do. I tend to feel lazy when i am not under pressure so I will procrastinate or spend my free time sleeping instead of working. being in a stressful stare is the worse feeling ever but acts as a catalyst when it comes to me doing my assignments. Deadlines acts as a drive that keeps me motivated to finish my tasks. for example, I put in all my effort and handwork at the very end during the last few days before submitting my work on given due date.
In the future, I aim to be a Lecturer or any other career under communication because I personally believe I can perform well due to my passion in speaking the English language. Compared to teachers, lecturers would suit me more because I prefer teaching students of a more mature age as kids can be annoying sometimes. I plan to further my studies in UITM Puncak Alam to take my Degree is TESL there. Moving on, I will continue my studies in masters and PHD. What happens next? Lets see how it goes in the next 6 years!
THE 3 THINGS I LOVE AND HATE.
I love myself.
I love how I can constantly stare at the mirror without feeling bad about myself, I love how I have the confidence to dress with my own preference in style, I love how I can make other people happy, I love how I am blessed with the greatest friends and family. well, its clear to see how much I love myself. I am grateful of the person I am today. Of course, it is tempting being exposed to a platform such as social media because people tend to compare their lives but it should always be a reminder to everyone to appreciate what we have as focusing on the bad side might shift our attention away from the good things in life.
Spicy food
I can be really choosy when it comes to food. My food choice is specific and it narrows down to basically one thing. I love spicy food and I most probably got this trait from my father. When I order my food, I'll always request in advance so it can be cooked spicy. I'm not a fan of steamed food, soup, and everything not spicy in particular. In fact, I even brought dried chilies to campus so i can eat it with the food here :D My love for spicy food has come to a dangerous extend to the point where I will not enjoy food if it is not spicy. My mother told me to cut off my intake of spicy food but the obsession has already taken over.
Sleep
I am a night owl so I usually sleep when its morning and wake up when its almost dark (its like I'm in a different time zone) but this usually happens when I have a lot of work and I just feel tired. Other than music, sleeping is my cure because it makes me escape reality for even for a while. Especially in my University years, I am asleep more than I am awake ._. but don't worry, I make sure I finish what ever work I'll have to do!
Narcissistic human beings.
I can make friends and work with people regardless of the different personalities but when it comes to those who are just plain selfish, I have a hard time coping with these people. It is understandable that we live in a world where there different people have different point of views but in a discussion, those who refuse to hear out any other opinion but their own can easily on my nerves. I have low tolerance to work with selfish and individualist so whenever i am put into a position where i cannot chose who i work with, i will not enjoy what i am doing hence producing low quality in work.
I N S E C T S.
I am WEAK every time I encounter insects. They are just weird creatures and I would scream if I see one regardless of where I am. Especially insects with wings as I imagine them flying towards me in a split second. Despite the shape or form, insects creep me out because they may be tiny in size on the outside but surely they are evil and deadly on the inside.
Dirty environments.
I am known to be a '"clean freak". I grew up living in a clean house because my parents would always make sure the house is in a clean and perfect state. Whenever I am in a dirty place, I get itchy and experience all kind of symptoms which affects both my wellbeing and my mood. I often sweep and clean my surroundings in order to have a peaceful mind.
