My Classmates

My mum once said that university is a sacred place where we find, our imagination enhanced, skills developed and your compassion enriched. It's been nearly a year and half I been studying in this university. I've met and made friends from various backgrounds and faces. Some of them are my room mates and some are my class mates. We have written lots of history together till now. Some of them are laughter for the heart and some are tears that shed from our eyes. This essay is about my classmates, from what we had for the past semesters and the jewel we made together till now and that is the memories of our class.

Boys


A) Muhammad Azri 

This is Azri, some of my friends called him 'Ayie'. In my view, he's a kind of a person who always busy with the university's events. To me, he is a hardworking guy with a good sense of humor. He loves to take picture with his fancy camera. He also knows how to edit a pictures and have the knowledge of using software. Some said he's a sweet talker among girls and lecturers. Azri loves to hang around with the girls, sometimes I think he's a romantic type of person and lovely.

C) Ahmad Syahir

Syahir, he's the most active guy in the class. He loves to talk, to me, he's a happy-go-lucky type of man with his funny humor. He always hang with Syahfie, on the way to class, during lunchtime even they always do their assignment together. He loves play futsal and every evening he always went down to the field to play with his friends. Among the other boys, he's the most responsible guy than the others. He knows how to work and carries his work on time. He knows how to bond in with others and he always help his friends when they are in troubles.

D) Muhammad Syahfie

Syahfie, he always hang with syahir. Everywhere they go, they will be together even around the university. Syahfie always crack jokes around us. Syahfie has a beautiful voice, sometimes he involved himself in the nasyid activity in the university, he join a nasyid group called the Khalifa. Syafie is an open minded guy, sometimes I share my problems with him. He knows how to handle certain situation and he knows how to treat his friends right. I find it funny when the time he speaks in english, with the slang and accent he made. everytime he speaks I will burst out laughing about it.

E) Muhammad Hakiim

Hakiim, he's one of my best friends. I always hang with him and do my assignments with him. He knows how to make me laugh and he know how to bond in with others. In my view, he's a fun and lovely guy and sometimes he went frenzy with his jokes. He loves to tease others especially the girls. Hakiim is a quiet guy everytime when the class started. He always sit beside me in the class and he always pay attention during the class. I find it funny when the time he laugh, because to me he's laughing style is one of a kind. I'm very lucky to met a person like him in this university.


Girls


1) Sayang Zuliza

There many of the girls in the class that are really quiet. Sayang is one of them. To be honest, this is the first time I found a girl named sayang. Because before this I never find any girls named sayang. So to me, I find her name quite unique and interesting. Back to the post, sayang is a hard working girl, even though she's a quiet person. Sayang always smile in the class, I rarely find her upset or sad. In my opinion, she's a person who loves to hide her emotions. Everyday Sayang always came to the class with  Amy, Fazlin and Haneefa. I rarely find them apart from each other.To me, they are like family to each other, they always went everywhere together even to the toilet. I find them quite a unique and interesting group of girls.

2) Zafeera Aswani

Zafeera is an interesting girl, I find her hard to predict what kind of person her is. She's an educated type of girl, sometimes I rarely find her talking about other things than education stuff. Most of the girls in the class love to smile, so I would consider zafeera is one of them. One thing that I spotted about her, she always cover her mouth or lips everytime when she burst out laughing. So, I find her a polite and humble girl. She knows how to watch her manner even with the old ones.

3) Nur farahin Zuhairi

Farahin, She's an unique person I known. Currently, She's the Assistant Class Representation for this current semester. In my opinion, she's a responsible type of girl. She knows how to handle her time and her duty. I rarely find her laughing in the class and that's the part of her that I find unique and interesting. Farahin always hang with other girls even she's a quiet type of person. In addition, I find farahin rarely hang with the boys, maybe she shy or something. But to me she's an interesting type of girl in the class.

4) Fatin Hannah

Fatin Hannah, She's a motherly type of  person. She always came to the class along with Fara Syafikha and Noor Afizah. In my view, Fatin is a serious person in a certain situation.

One thing about Fatin Hannah, she knows how to react and face certain situations. She knows how to treat her friend well and knows how to deal with boys in the class.

Farah rarely hang with boys in our class, she always hang around the girls especially with Fatin and Afizah. 

6) Noor Afizah

Afizah, she's the type of girl who always stand-alone. The only people I saw her hang with are just Fatin and Farah. In my eyes, three of them is like triplets with the same head and mind. I always found them laughing with each other and came to the class together. It's rare to see them apart from each other. Maybe this is the bond of a true friends.

7) Nur Farahin Adnan

Farahin is a very happy-go-lucky girl. Among the other girls,  I found that she's the only one girl who we boys can easily talk about anything. About her style, she really into boyish type of style.

In the class, I always found her smiling even when the lecturer is not out type of lecturer.

About Serena, among the other girls she's the only one I don't know much about. Sometimes, one of our lecturer called her Serena Williams. A name of a star or something. Serena is a very quiet person. Its hard to see her talking in the class.  The only thing I know about her is she always sit beside a corner or beside the wall in the class, deserting herself from the middle of the class.

9) Yuslina

Yuslina is a very open girl, sometimes I found her face similar to one of our lecturer Pn. Razifah. Uniquely! both of them acting like the same to each other. Sometimes, I thought Pn.

About Hafini, I don't really know about her. What I know is, she's really quiet during the class time. She always hang with the girls she knows.

Every women have their certain unique and attractive part of body. That's what I think about every girls. Sometimes, I saw Hidayah always staring outside of window.

About Myself (BEL 311)

Hello, my name is Muhammad Afiq Bin Azme, I'm from Kajang, Selangor. I will turn 19 this year. Currently, I'm part 3 senior at MARA University of Technology, Johore. I'm the first son of the family among  the other 3 siblings of mine. My first younger sister is Aqilah Batrisiya Binti Azme, the second younger sister of mine is Alya batrisyia Binti Azme. Both of them studying in the same school which is Sekolah Menengah Jalan Tiga in Bandar Baru Bangi.

The last younger sister of mine, which is the youngest from all is Athirah Batrisyia Binti Azme.Right now, she is continuing her studies in Sekolah Kebangsaan Seksyen Tujuh which is also in Bandar Baru Bangi. My dad is the head of the family, Azme Bin Hussain. Right now, he is the head diplomatic officer in the Ministry of Education Malaysia. While, my mum - Shahara Binti hashim, as the head clerk in Perbadanan Putrajaya. I'm so happy and grateful with the family that I have right now, we live as a normal family with joy and laughter every single day.

About me, I'm an interesting, fun and loving guy with a good sense of humor. One thing about me that is important to know though is that at the first I come of as a very shy individualistic guy but once I get to know people and that I'm comfortable with my environment, I will start to be as active as I can. It's hard to make friends but once I make them, It's great and I'm all different from others. I'm kind, compassionate and a sensitive guy. I have a tough shell but from the inside I'm soft. I'm also a very principled person and stand strong on what is right and what is wrong. I'm also a straight and honest person. Sometimes, I maybe hard to change my principle because I believe in what makes me a better person.

Academically, I'm a student who likes to be mentally challenged and enjoy both hands on projects as well as conventional learning. I am an enthusiastic artistic person and I love to draw. Every time I have an empty time, I will fill most of them by drawing any kind of pictures that came into my head. I also enjoy leaning new things such as new subjects for every new semesters. I love practical classes as they are often different from other classes. For example IMD 205, IMD 206, BEL 311 and IMD 207. They provide me with great insight on many things one does not normally think about.

Though the past semester had been a tough one for me, because all of the subjects are difficult. Gratefully, I scored A for every single of them except I got 2 B+ from some of the subjects. This year, I hope I would score more than I achieved from past semester. Plus, with all the new lecturers that I met this semester which are interesting and fun.
