BioSaya means me, a first person pronoun in my native language. As such, this journal belongs to saya, me, and chronicles my life's journeys, decisions and thoughts. In no way is my choice of name connected to any anime characters, especially the Blood+ series. Not my fault the main character's name is also saya.
I am currently studying for my Masters degree in English Literature in University of Malaya, having done my Bachelor in English Language and Literature at the International Islamic University of Malaysia. But do not think I am a complete expert in English literature; I may know the theories and the canon, but my one year-plus stint at Kinokuniya bookstore revealed that I have much to learn, and I humbly accept new and enlightening knowledge that will deepen my appreciation of literature of any kind. My favourite genres are YA and literary fiction and to a certain extent, some well-written fantasy and general fiction. I cannot stomach romance novels, though not for lack of trying. Few romance novels won my respect and admiration, and just so you know, one of my favourite past-time is to mock Twilight (I lose no respect for you if you like the series though. To each their own).
As mentioned above, I worked for more than a year at Kinokuniya bookstore, and though I loath the upper managements, I adore my colleagues, the customers (good and bad) and I learned so much from them that I know I would not have had I did not take this job. My stint there also revealed to me what a small and narrow point of view I used to have, and I seek to broaden my mind ever since. I will quit the job come the end of June 2009, but it is out of necessity, not hatred for the actual job. I will cherish my memories there evermore.
I have five friends that I hold dear in my heart, and though we are scattered all over the country, I know in my heart that I will never know friendship as deep as we have, and I know they miss me as much as I miss them. Fazlinda, Maria Farhana, Noor Alhusna, Natasha, NurJanah. They are very dear to me.
I am a Muslim. Make what of that as you will.
I try my best not to judge people; their beliefs, their lifestyles, their hobbies, their preferences, etc. I don't judge people because I have my own different standards and expectations. As such, I despise people who judge me using their own standards. I respect what you have to say, so respect me.
I'm currently crazy about Invader Zim. Yep, late to the party.
That's all for now.
