Dear Madam Ju,


First of all, this is my longest autobiography I ever write in my life about myself so I hope you will satisfied with my written and I do try my best to write it so you will know me well as your new student. My full name is Nik Mohd Qamarul Shafiq Bin Nik Ahmad Kamil. It is a longest name and it makes me difficult when i want to fill in an application form. All my friend just calls me Nik but some my teacher call me Qamarul or Shafiq. To me, I like my friend call me Shafiq because the meaning is moon, because all the words comes from our mouth is a pray for us. For me, I agree for all nickname my friend give to me but it must give a good meaning.

I am the second among my siblings. I have four siblings include me. It is a small family. Before me was my brother. His name is Nik Mohd Qamarul Safwan Bin Nik Ahmad Kamil. His name is same like me just change Shafiq with Safwan. He is 25 years old and just married one year ago. He live at Johor with his wife. His job is a professional inspector welding. His job is checking the weld at the joining process and also welding. Inspector welding is quite dangerous job because sometimes, my brother must do his job in empty oil tank. If there is crack area, he must weld the area. This is the dangerous part and must be running smoothly because in the oil tank, there is oil gas and this gas is very sensitive with heat. Because of this, my brother must follow many safety rules. It is why my brother tell me do not enter in this job. After me was my sister. Her name is Nik Soliha Farhana. She is 21 years old and now she studying at University Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) major in Food Technology. She is active person and always busy with her club and university programs. When she have problem, the first person she went is my mom. It is because in my family only have two females, my mom and my sister. Then my younger brother. Now he is in standard six and taking his UPSR this year. It make him busy with his tuition and school activities. What is special about him is, he likes cooking and he is hardworking boy..always helped my dad at restaurant.

Now I will tell about my dad. He is a businessman and has opened a restaurant. He is very hardworking and workaholic person. He go to work at 7a.m and back to home at 11p.m. He wake up at 6a.m everyday and go to whole market to buy raw source like vegetables, meat, chicken, fish and some spices. All this thing will be use in two or three days. At the restaurant, my dad becomes a chef. He cook many kind of food like chicken rice, beriani rice, nasi lemak, rojak ayam, beef soup and dalcha. At my dad restaurant, there were many kind of food like chicken rice, beriani rice, nasi lemak, rojak ayam, laksa penang, ala kampong cooking, kebab and john bread. I glad and respect him because with his busy life with his work, he knows to separate his life between family and work time. Sometime, when my dad back to home from work, I can see his tired face and I give him massage to make him feel better. I know that with his age at 53 years old, this work is heavy and make him tired. But he tell me, this is his ambition, open his own restaurant with his own money and before this my dad work with my grandfather company as a sales manager. He always give me advices and spirit to move one step further in life. He wants me to be better than him in the future and always be in the family.

Next is about my lovely mom. She is a fully housewife. But in the free time, she always sews. She likes sewing very much. Furthermore, there is a special room for my mum to do her hobby. In that room, there were two sew machine and my mum buy it with her money that her collect every month. When Hari Raya is coming, my mum become very busy because she makes our baju melayu, baju kurung and sometimes curtain. In the night, my mum becomes a teacher to my younger brother. She is very strict when talk about education because she wants all his children success in education and become good person.

Now I will tell about my hobbies. Actually I do not know what my hobbies are but I have many favorite. All I do is about my favorite. In my free time, I always playing my pc games like Professional Evolution Soccer (PES) and strategy game like command and concur. For me, all the games give me satisfaction and it makes me thinking. I also love to watch about technology thing and my favorite channel is mega structure. In mega structure, I will know how the biggest things like building, bridge, track, dam, ship and many more was build and also we can know every step and the accident that happen beside the mega project. It makes me proud with my course, mechanical engineering because we can give big contribution to our community life. ESPN also my favorite channel because I like to know about sport world especially about my favorite football club, Manchester United Football Club (MUFC). There is a room in my cupboard full with Manchester United (MU) stuff like MU jersey, scarf, cap, glass, small pillow, handkerchief, MU badge and many more. And my new favorite is cooking. I start likes cooking when I follow my dad to his restaurant. Firstly, my dad teach me how to make spices beef that use for john bread. After a few weeks, he teach me how to make chicken kebab with special spices. After that, when I go to my dad restaurant, I always help my dad especially in making spices beef and chicken kebab.

During holiday, my family will spent time together either go for picnic, rest at home or travel to island like Perhentian, Redang, Tioman, Pangkor also to other states in local like Kelantan, Johor, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Sarawak also to overseas like Indonesia, Singapore, Australia and Philippine. Among the travel, we can relax our mind and also can knowing other country culture. Beside that our family relation become more firm.

About my ambition, I want to be an engineer and that why I choose mechanical engineering as my course studies. Actually, it is hard to talk about ambition because in our country situation, there were many graduate in every year. Sometime, we got a job that no suitable with our certificate. That the situation that I want to get away. I really hope I will be an engineer after I graduate according to my certificate. But when I was a kid, I want to be a pilot because I can drive a plane that why I always eat carrot for my eye. When in form 3, I was changed my ambition to be an engineer because to being a pilot, you must be excellent in every section and as we know pilot always flies and we cannot spend time to our family. Even if I have more money, but I cannot give happiness to my family, it does not mean anything.

Finally, I think this is enough my own autobiography and I hope you will get more details about me in this autobiography. “There is more to you than meets the eye”.

Sincerely,


Nik Mohd Qamarul Shafiq Bin Nik Ahmad Kamil
