People I met when I was in British Council

December 29, 2007

  1. Shane, the Chinese guy. He’s local. Loves to snap photos, and talks with a serious expression—even when he’s joking.
  2. Fauzi—he’s also local, from Sabah. Talked with me when our class was ending.
  3. Ali from Lebanon. A tall Arab guy. Jokes around.
  4. Twey from Myanmar. She owns a restaurant near Kota Raya. Got two children.
  5. Farah from Indonesia. Her outfits are cool. Ahah. She loves adventure—rafting, hiking, speeding. Name it. Ayy.
  6. Ammar from Yemen. He’s nice.
  7. Stephanie—local Chinese girl. Annoying brat who thinks she’s so superior.
  8. Karyn—also local Chinese girl, sits next to Stephanie. She’s nice. Works at Isetan, KLCC.
  9. Kana from Japan. She’s kind of a more sophisticated Japanese woman… and she also smokes. Not very friendly though. 28 years old. Going to Australia to continue studying. Has been to lots of places, and done bungee jumping several times. Cool.
  10. Asyraf, a guy from Yemen. Laughs loudly—takes attention a bit. But he’s nice, and jokes around a lot.
  11. Abdul Aziz, 19 years old, also from Yemen. He’s nice. Talked with me, smiles a lot. Nice.
  12. Alexandro, a guy from Italy. I love his accent when he talks, you know… funny. He has a girlfriend—Monica and I saw them holding hands outside the KLCC building just now. He’s nice. I think he’s the oldest in the class.
  13. Ahmad, a local guy. Also nice. He said he’s 24. Talks to me a lot, and always smiles when we meet.
  14. Jeon from Korea. 20 years old. Came to Malaysia five years ago to study English at an international school, and now studies Multimedia at LimKokWing. Got his diploma, and will be going to Australia for his degree. Cool. He always makes fun of everything and says “really?” in a funny way.
  15. Monica from Indonesia. Sits next to me. She’s 20. Got a diploma in IT. Just came here about a month ago with her parents. Her dad works at the embassy. Went to a lot of places too. Cool. She's now studying in UM.
  16. Li Li from China. Studying at HELP Institute. I dunno which course.



So, that was my class. It was a fun class—the environment was good. Close to all kinds of information, and I got the chance to know a lot of people from other countries too.

At this moment, I’ve already met four teachers:

  • Mrs. Heather, from Canada. Early 30s. Probably the nicest among all the teachers. Funny, a little like Teacher Sherry from SI.

  • Mr. Ben, 28 years old, from Britain. He hates tea. Speaks with a British accent. Interesting. He told me “good luck” for my job interview.

  • Mujahida, from the U.S. Converted to Islam 25 years ago. She’s nice. Quite old, very experienced.

  • Terri, from New York. Looks African. Also Muslim. So tall and skinny. God, I love her accent. So good.
