Who am I?

I was named Faliza binti Mahamed Ali by both of my parents.

My lovely hometown?

My lovely hometown will be Bandaraya Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan. There I reside at No. 5, Jalan Belalang Lapan 20/7H, Seksyen 20 with my family.

When did I first step my foot on earth?

I was born on 13 March 1980 right at 11.25 am....I am a morning gal!

What does my star say?

Based on my birthdate, I was respectfully assigned under the Pisces zodiac.

Which schools did I go before?

I got to know my first ABC's at Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Shah Alam Seksyen 16 in 1987. After I had gone through my childhood days for six years, I transferred to another level in my life which is the adolescence stage in 1992 and that is in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seksyen 11, Shah Alam for another five years. Those eleven years of labour with school textbooks, constant yelling from the teachers, tough exams and reaching puberty, proved fruitful to me as they had taught me so many lessons of life.

Where are my alma maters?

I obtained my diploma from Universiti Teknologi Mara, Shah Alam after I have passed my SPM with flying colours. I took Diploma in Hotel Management and then continued my studies to degree with the same course and at the same university. Currently, I am studying for my masters degree at Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok, Kedah in Tourism and Hospitality Management and hopefully to finish it by the end of this year... I am crossing my fingers for that! 

Experience in life?

In my working experience, I had gone through several interesting, unique and strange experiences in life where I need to deal with people from all sorts of background. Those were when I went through several different jobs either for permanent or temporary. I have worked as an assistant clerk at Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam where I learnt how to manage my work and time. I had also worked as a full time staff at 1901 Sdn Bhd where beside I learnt how to make yummy hotdogs, I also managed to polish my entrepreneurship skills. Pheww, it is really not easy to be successful! I can imagine what Tengku Rozidar had gone through. My last job experience was when I managed to be in my former teachers and lecturers' shoes. I taught at Institut Hospitaliti Yayasan Pelajaran Johor for about one year. To be able to teach is another thing, but to become a good educator is something that you need to have courage to accompany with. I managed to teach several subjects which are connected to my field. So, here is my battlefield where I took the opportunity to sharpen back my memory to what I have learnt during my studies years and make full use of it. :D

Pages to turn to?

I have several reading materials which I like to indulge into but currently I am so into Harry Potter series. Yes, yes, yes...I know that I am being old-fashioned and Harry Potter was way past Da Vinci Code, but after watching all the movies, I began to think that there must be something really intriguing about this young Harry which has made all those girls who haven't even reached puberty are so crazy about him. Indeed, I was right! You have to read the books in order for you to understand what I mean *wink*. Besides that, reading them does help improve my English vocabulary. Until now, I have read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I am still going through Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I still have two more books to finish before the last book come out.

Wheel of Reels?

Definitely my top priority list for my favourite movies will be all the Harry Potter movies! Do not blame me for that guys, blame JK Rowling! :D By the way, I love Lord of the Rings trilogies as well...

Karaoke anyone?

My favourite all time croon will be an oldies Malay song titled ~Suratan atau Kebetulan~ by Flybaits. It might sound cliche but to me, the lyric has deep meaning. It is about things which might happen in your life. Those things which happen that might make you happy and even sad. It is the case of either former or latter  happens because you choose it to happen or it chooses to happen...

Light and Easy for my ears?

I love R&B, sentimental and others. I am very soft at heart, you know!

Couch Potatoes anyone?

Grissom, Horatio and Mac are my three favourite heroes and characters from my three favourite TV shows CSI Vegas, Miami and New York. You guys rock! It is just that whenever I watch any of the three shows, I will be imagining that I am one of the detectives in the forensic team. Each series has its own identity. Grissom and Vegas are very much on how you use your instincts and brain, Horatio and Miami are on how you follow what your heart says and Mac and New York are very much the old school gang; use your textbook and follow the procedures from A-Z. So far, these are what I thought about these three gentlemen and their respective teams.

Marlon Brando vs Audrey Hepburn?

Actually I am not a fan to any of them listed above (no offence), however I do love watching Kevin Spacey, Rosyam Nor, Sandra Bullock and Ellie Suriaty whenever they are on screen. These guys I think are the most talented and gifted actors in the world. The way they adapt to their roles are simply magnificent. They will change automatically becoming the characters in their movies.

My angels?

As any other Malaysian, I love to listen to Siti Nurhaliza. To me, Siti is not a good performer, but she has this voice which will make you stop doing anything whenever she starts singing. That is my interpretation about Siti's voice and that is why I choose her. Besides that, I love listening to Raihan as well. I think they have the most harmonious voice to be compared with other singing groups. Another thing, I salute them because of their ability. Although they are not always on the front cover  of the newspaper just because they have performed in a certain privilege hall, but to me they are the one who have done our country proud. They have performed in front of Queen Elizabeth and she was the one who requested for them. Wow!

My Idols?

Well, I have two people in mind whom I would really love to meet and have a tete-a-tete with them. First, I would like to meet our former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir. I would like to know what is on his mind. What does he have in future for Malaysia if he was still the Prime Minister? What is his favourite food and get to know him better. Secondly, I would love to meet Bill Gates the excellent genius in the computer world. I would like to know why did he drop out from Harvard? How did he manage and what does it take to become so successful like now?

WHAT ABOUT ME???

To sum it all up, fortunately, I am not a cry baby like the baby on the top of this page. I am a very simple gal actually. I enjoy having friends and family around me. I love what I am about to be after I have graduated. I am quite determined. Whenever I want to achieve something, I will make sure that I try my very best. Some of my friends said that I am quite serious especially if I am in the middle of doing something; be it playing my favourite PC football game, doing my assignments, reading or even watching. I might not even realize that someone is talking to me whenever I am so into something. So, that might be my weakness, I guess. Overall, you can count on me whenever you need something. I will definitely do my best to help you! That is who I am!
