Me : Hemm.. hello. Thank you for that, I'm very honoured being selected to appear in your next publish magazine. Hemmm... my name is Mizwan Mohamad Shahimin. I was born in Kuala Lumpur (my favourite city *whispering*). I was born on the 3rd of August 1977. Now I'm staying in Gombak, Kuala Lumpur.

Ms. Jacyntha : Well, from what I have here, it seems that you're now still studying, right? Err.. could you elaborate more on your educational background?

Me : Well, my first education was at Sekolah Rendah Gombak Setia. I enjoyed my first day at school. I remember that I used to sit in the front line and at the middle desk. The reason is that I wanted to be a boss. Then, after I've finished my primary school with flying colours in UPSR, I further my studies at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Simpang Lima. This school is situated in Sabak Bernam, Selangor. This is where I learn to live by myself. Everything I have to do by myself which were previously done by my "orang gaji". It was quite tough at first, but then I managed to adapt myself to the environment and I survived. And after I have completed mt Sijil Rendah Pelajaran (SRP), I got an offer to pursue my studies at KISAS (Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah). I was very proud of being offered a place in that high-achievement school. There, I learn more about having friends (true friend), being independent, and everything that mirrors me right now. And after I have completed my studies and have a great achievement in Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), I was offered by Telekom Malaysia Berhad to further my studies at ITTM (Institut Telekomunikasi dan Teknologi Maklumat) which is now known as Universiti Telekom. Currently I'm studying in University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

Ms. Jacyntha : Emmm.. what an interesting story. What course you are taking currently?

Me : Hemmm... currently I'm taking my first degree in Computer and Electronic Systems. I'm now in my third year. I hope that I can get First Class Honours after I have completed my final year. Emmm... before this I have completed my Diploma in Information System Engineering in Universiti Telekom.

Ms. Jacyntha : Emmm... good luck Mizwan. Hemm... can you tell me, what are the things that you enjoy doing during your free time?

Me : Emmm... I enjoy reading very much. In the past, I used to collect various kinds of coins and notes of other countries. Usually I got them from my mother. And up till now, I have collected coins and notes from more than 20 different countries. I enjoy playing computer games as well. I played Doom, Quake, Hexen and WarCraft. Besides that, I enjoy surfing the Net (not to the Red Zones please...), and watching VCDs.

Ms. Jacyntha : Well, this is quite out of the topic. I would like to ask for your opinion about Malaysia?

Me : Well, to answer this I would like to bring you to the current development happening in Malaysia. Now, as you can see there are many high-rise buildings in Malaysia, in particular Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) and the Kuala Lumpur High Tower. Besides that, with the idea of having our own "Silicon Valley" which is known as Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC), I strongly believe that Malaysia will become one of the developed countries in a short time. I think before 2020, we would be able to achieve our target as being stated in the Vision 2020.

Ms. Jacyntha : Emmm.. what an interesting explaination. Now I know why our editor really wants you to be in our magazine. You're the man... My last question, what is your future plan in 20 years to come?

Me : Errr.. please don't say like that 'lah'. (blushing) Well, concerning my future plan... I planned to be one of the successful people in the corporate world, although it needs lots of hard work. But before that I wanted to concentrate on my studies first, and perhaps after that I would get myself involved in that 'world'. Perhaps, by being the successful corporate man, I would have contribute something to my country and most importantly my family.

Ms. Jacyntha : Well, thank you very much Mr. Mizwan for this lovely interview. Hope to see you again. Thank you again.

Me : You're welcome.
