First of all, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
This is a tough one you know. I'm Ereen. I was born on 20th of March 1989. Age isn't a secret, in fact, I love being 21. Young and sweet! I have 2 brothers and a sister and I'm the eldest. Being the eldest is quite tough I must say. You have to be very ambitious. You are the mirror for them.
I realized that you are currently studying Broadcasting and Journalism course. When did you realize that you had the passion for the course which you are pursuing right now?
Since I can talk! I liked to act as an anchor woman and read the news papers or books to the family. I was a talkative kid! Dad never had a clue about my passion and he wanted me to be a doctor. I was in a boarding school for 5 years and I had done my A Level in Physical Science for a year until I had the gut to tell my dad I wanted to quit. Not that he would get mad but I thought I could destroy his dream to see me as a doctor. Dad agreed and ta da I'm doing the best course I could ask for.
What made you transferred your study from Malaysia to London?
London has a lot to offer. I call it the centre of the world where everybody gets here to pursue their dreams. My friends come from different races, colors and totally different background but we all gather here with one goal and we all love snow! My French is better than ever and I'm now doing my Level 2 in Japanese language.
How is the study environment at London?
Very competitive. You need to be an extrovert otherwise nobody is going to listen to your thought.
Before pursuing your degree in LUCT London, you were taking Foundation Sem 1 right here at LUCT Malaysia. What kind of differences can you tell between studying In Malaysia and London?
Some of my fellow classmates in Malaysia were very laid-back. They accepted your opinions whether they like it or not. Most people here are extroverts and dogmatics, if they couldn't accept your opinion you had to have the gut to go through the debate later. What struck you the most about London?
I love the public transport. People are very polite and helpful. Offering your seat to a pregnant lady, or elderly person is a culture. If you don't want the whole carriage to stare at you for being rude to disable people, please and please offer your seat. I was once accidentally offered my seat to a lady and she looked really offended! She was just fat oops!
In London, which place you like to visit the most?
Wish I could name them at one sitting! Too many places too little time. Madame Tussauds is one of them. Also, the Canary Wharf Tower. I don't really know what's in there and I would like to find out.
In the future, what do you see yourself as?
It's the future it's hard to predict. We move from opportunity to opportunity. One thing I can promise, I will be the same girl you see now but with a better idea of life and definitely with a job.
