I have to grab any opportunity whether in having meals or playing games with them. Currently, I am living in Tumpat, Kelantan with my family. My father is a retiree and my mother is a full-time housewife. I completed my primary school at SK. Sri Kg Laut. During 2006, I sat for UPSR examination and scored 5A's. As for the superb achievement, I was offered to pursue my studies at MJSC Pasir Tumboh, one of prestigious college in Malaysia. In the year 2009, I have been listed as one of the best student after I got 8A's in PMR.

Due to some cases, I was transferred to another excellent college which is MJSC Pengkalan Chepa. For my SPM, praise to Allah I got 5A+, 3A- and 1B+.
