Assignment for Week 1

Write a 100-150 word essay on who you found most interesting in your class. Why did this person catch your attention? How similar are you both? How did this person respond to your offer of friendship?

Before I start the essay, I want to share what I actually think. I was keep thinking that the person which is the most interesting person in my class. Until now, I found no one. Maybe Ms. Malini will think that I am lacking of curiosity on others or lacking of attention on others. I am a student who comes from Miri, Sarawak. The aim of studying here is to improve my personalities. Before I came here, my mum wanted me to study in Curtin University in Miri which she thought that the location of the campus is more convenient for me to back home. I declined her advices and told her that I want to learn to grow up and be more independent in KL. Finally I came here. Not all the things like what I expected. I know life can’t be smooth at all times. Even I had home sick, I had to go through it. The worst thing happened in semester one. We were having an argument with each other because of a GNS project. After that, we had split from a class into two groups. I admit that we all have communication problems but everything had passed. It is hard to explain the situation of our class but there are some problems in the middle.

What I see and learn about from staying here about 8 months: 1) Most of the people here are impolite. (Every sector of the community) 2) Most of the people who get high education act like uneducated. (Littering and smoking at smoke free places) 3) Many of people like to play scheming on others. They are more relying on their benefits but not caring. 4) Many of them are selfish and ignore others who need help. I know there are many cheaters here but as a human being, we have to help others when they need a help in an emergency moment. (Last time, an uncle walked by and asked me and my friend where the ktm station is. My friend walked in front of me. When the uncle wanted to ask for her help, she walked away and pretended not to see him. Then the uncle was very embarrassed. He came and asked me, but I am not the local people. Finally, I asked my friend stop to walk forward and help the uncle.) 5) Many of them cannot accept others pointed out their defects.

Sorry that I am too long-winded. For assignment purpose, I will also write an essay. I know nobody is perfect so I am still learning to forgive and forget. Thanks Ms. Malini for reading this. I write this because of it is P&C and this is what I think. Just read it as I am grumbling. My last words: For me, human communication is hard because it is not only a subject, but a lesson that we have to use whole life to learn.

The most interesting person in my class is my friend who called Wong Keng Yann. She is a person who gets the urge to laugh easily. She is always a happy and humorous girl. I always think that this kind of her will get a Mr. Right one day. I like her laugh as her laugh makes everyone feel happy and relax. We always laugh together because of any single thing although this cause people mark us as laugh disorder. When we are playing, she acts very funny expressions to make us laugh. Generally, we have no crush in opinion but just have different concepts in the fashion style and idols. Our tastes in food are alike as we both like to eat spicy food. We were not familiar with each other during semester one. After the arguing of GNS project, we made into friends of five in a group. She is the life and the catalyst in our group. I am lucky to have this happy and kind friend.
