“What is written without effort is generally read without pleasure – Samuel Johnson”
ABOUT MEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEee!!
Assalamualaikum and a
very good day to all of you guys ! First of all, allow me to introduce
myself and hoping that you guys will get to know me better,
perhaps…hmmm. Alright, let’s begin, shall we? I’m being named by my
lovely parents as Muhammad Syafiq Farhan Boo b. Omar Boo and people like
to call me as Farhan. I love my own name as it is very unique in my own
perspective and it is very long as you can see. I’m mixed of Chinese
and Malay as my father is a converted Chinese Muslim while my mother is a
pure Malay. I just turned 20 2 days ago and I guess it would be a new
journey and new experiences as well as the term ‘teenage’ has left me,
like forever. Besides, I was born in Malaysia and I have to admit that
this nation never fails to impress me with it’s own uniqueness and I
really love the environment here . On top of that, I am currently
studying B.Ed Teaching English of a second language in a superb and
awesome university called Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). So, why is it
awesome as being stated by me? Well, it is the only top university that
has the researches about the plantation and also the campus is
currently supporting and organizing a very creative campaign named
‘Green Campus’.
Alright! Enough
bragging about my awesome university, I would like to proceed more about
myself. The reason why I am taking TESL as my main course to study is
because I have the dream, passion and motivation to become a successful
educator in the near future. Being an educator is like a noble yet
challenging task for me. Truthfully, I wanted to become an educator, but
before I had decided to take TESL, I was actually confused of which
subject should I teach if I want to become a teacher or an educator.
Well, finally the decision came in my mind as I took foundation in TESL
after I finished up my secondary education and right now, I am in UPM
pursuing my Bachelor Degree. The main reason why educator became my
choice is simply because I am doing this for the sake of the people and
also the nation, whereby I would like encourage and instill the value of
appreciating knowledge and also to uplift the competence level of
English usage amongst the fellow Malaysians especially all of the
students in every degree and level. I have to admit that it is not an
easy task, this challenge needs time, effort, passion and self
motivation before we can encourage other people to assist us to make it
into a reality. Therefore, before I can be an educator, I need to fill
up myself with a great deal of knowledge and experiences first, just as
the saying goes “experience is the best teacher” !
Indeed, for me =)
Moving on to the first experience ever
that I have ever encountered with computer, I remembered that I like to
draw things for fun by using a software called paint.
I am sure that you guys have ever at least heard of it or maybe used it
as I did, drawing things for fun, ahaa! It was so much fun back then as
that was my first experience of using computer…I was like 6 or 7 that
time? I am not sure but it is around that ages. Computer has indeed
become one of the most priority electronic gadgets as it is being used
widely all over the world for various purposes such as in business
field, administration, educational field and researches. After I have
learned to use computer properly, it is a very beneficial and giving a
number of advantage to solve many problems and also to entertain
ourselves during leisure hours. For a student like me, having a computer
to assist me finishing up all my assignments is undoubtedly convenient
enough and a part of that, I also enjoy myself by watching videos,
surfing the internet and having conversations with my friends on the
social network when I am free. Inevitable, computed is one of the major
and prior need for human being.
Real life paint…not very skillful in using this…
Artificial paint, in the computer basically, clean and free ~ try it
I think that’s all for my very first post
in this beautiful blog of mine, thank you very much for reading =) keep
in touch and goodbye!
Hi Farhan,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for introducing yourself. It is so refreshing to learn about your aspiration to be a teacher. teaching, as you said, is indeed a noble profession,--but it is very challenging. Not only to you, but to whomever who call themselves teachers. I am glad that you are taking this path, and I am sure that you will be a great teacher in the future!
