tanda soal: a booklr introduction
Hi everyone! I'm a 21-year-old from Malaysia and I go to uni in the US (starting sophomore year in fall). I'm majoring in Economics and maybe possibly double-majoring in English and minoring in Education.
WHAT'S TANDA SOAL
It's Malay for question mark! It represents the questions and answers I'd like to explore through the books I read. I really enjoy reading as a way of learning more about different cultures, history, life in general. This year I decided to write those reflections to share with other people. I'm admittedly not the best at reading consistently and frequently throughout my semester, so it never made sense before. But since the pandemic added some months to my summer, I thought now would be the best time to get started on my passion project! I also taught myself how to use Adobe Illustrator recently and so some digital art will be finding its way here too :)
INTERESTS
I tend to favour contemporary stuff, though I do love me some thought-provoking non-fiction. These days, I’m trying to read more diversely. I realise that most authors I’ve read in the past tend to be male and from the western world, despite having lived in Malaysia most of my life. So do send me your recommendations!! I’d love to check them out.
Always looking forward to connect with more people and make some friends here! Can’t wait to talk about some literature (or economics, public policy, education, zero waste living, film photography, travelling, cats, BTS, Naruto - I’m flexible ;))
