A loooong Biography

So lame, but yeah. I guess I would like people to know me better.

                                       

Name: Arneesa Kimberly Mohamad Najee.
Often referred as; Arneesa, Ansa, Neesa, Kim, Kimmy, Kimberly, Asha, Ashakim, Kimkimkimmy. (LOL)

*People often pronounce my name as Ar'NESS'a, even though it's spelled Ar'NEE'sa. (They even change the original spelling as if they're what, my parents?) Well, I get totally annoyed if my name's pronounced wrongly. So yeah, it's ARNEESA KIMBERLY okay? Oh and, KIMBERLEY. REALLY?! How can you go wrong spelling KIMBERLY? At least that's what my college ID refers me as. -___-

Birth date: 30th October 1995. Year of the Pig, a Scorpio. PERFECT EH? heh, kidding.

Age: Seventeen turning Eighteen, soon.

Hobbies: 1) Dancing - it's in my blood, it's in my soul. Take me to a club/party/event with music, and I'll tell you to go drink and get yourself into trouble cause, I JUST WANNA DANCE! I cannot lie and say 'Oh no..please, I can't dance really....' No. It's the truth and I'm blessed that I can dance, thanks to my genes of course, both my parents are real good dancers. (Dancers for fun they are...)
Besides random dancing, I've been into various types of dances through out my entire life. My first ever public appearance (cheh) dancing was when I was in kindergarten (Wesley Methodist), an Indian dance, partnered with a Chinese oh-so-cute fellow. After that, in primary I was always that student/girl you would often see performing for events. (how annoying?) But those were normal, school-like based choreography by awesome teachers (that I remember so well, thanks for all your dedication) that made me continue dancing as a hobby.

In high-school (Pudu Girls School) was when it got real. My sister insisted that I joined this club society called 'Kesenian & Kebudayaan'. I could only go through and be part of the club if I auditioned. And so I did, that's where and when I learned the basic art of Malay Traditional 'Zapin'. I'm a quick learner, so I picked it up fast and graceful enough to make it in. Little did I know it was one of the most popular society that has made it so far, outstanding performances with absolutely talented seniors (as I was only form 1 at the time), competitions that made it to Peringkat Negeri & Wilayah. I was absolutely amazed and excited, that was when I grew so fond and in love with cultural dances from all races.

That club thought me the art of dancing, the art of teamwork and body movement, making a stiff-body absolutely graceful. Because the art of dancing cultural is something that amazed me so much, it changed the person I am. I eat, breathe, sleep, wake up - DANCE. I loved it, and I'm so proud of my achievements & memories.

I would love to thank my dearest family, for always being there to support me through out the best times of my life. Thank you.


2) Music & Singing - So my parents discovered my singing talent when I was at about age 4. Even before that, I was already hinting to them that I love music, as I would intently listen and shake my head or that bell anklet I wore would rattle away. Most of my photo albums consists of me and a microphone. And up till now, I'm still as fond as I was over a microphone. I grew up having karaoke nights with my family. Every time I sang a song, both my parents would criticize and correct my singing, and yes, I would get so frustrated over it, which would make me try and try, over again till they get satisfied. Now, that really paid of, all those small little practising. In primary teachers found out that I could sing well when I joined the 'Nasyid' team, till I earned a Solo part, then at high school, I did not let anyone know about my talent, till a small class to class competition came up and I won it, singing 'Ku Ada Kamu' by Adira. After that, I reached to the point where I was offered by the Minister of cultural arts and society of Wilayah Persekutuan to join the team Malaysian team of cultural performing (KEKWA), Truly blessed, but I did not accept the offer as I was focusing on my studies.

My parents. They knew I had it in me - growing up with a Music Man, my father is the biggest inspiration of all time. Ask me about music from the 80's, I can tell you anything. Some people get shocked and go like - how does she know Spandau Ballet's Gold? and, Level 42's Something About You? Which 18 year old at this age knows these songs by heart? It's me. I do. I'm thankful for the knowledge of music in me.

My mom told me when she was pregnant, she used to put headphones over her belly.

I guess that helped, being the music jukebox & little song machine I am now. :)

3) Reading & Writing - LOVE LOVE LOVE. English was and always will be my favourite subject, though I have to say I am still learning, there are still so many words I ought to learn.. still so many books for me to read & get inspired.  When I read and write is when I find inner-peace.

 Need I say more? I said it all in my first post. Heheh.

4) Photo's & the art of it. - I am definitely an ARTSY person. I see things through art. I like taking photo's and arranging my room furniture, constantly capturing moments. I know a beautiful and worth capturing moment when I see one. I love camera's and how it's made. I love being the person who is in charge of pictures for family events, then at the end of the event, making everyone sit in front of the TV and go through the captured moments together. I like taking pictures of my Mom's cooking cause it's absolutely divine - worth sharing. I love capturing funny moments - it's precious and it's wonderful.

5) Fashion, Converse & All that G' Thang. - When I was much younger, honestly I have to say I sucked at dressing up. My fashion sense was quite ugly I have to say. One fine day my dad insisted he changed my wardrobe and got me a pair of RED CONVERSE. Ever since then, I saw fashion in a different way. Me being me, comfort is way, way more important than beauty. I prefer whatever I'm wearing to be comfy, rather than gorgeous but painful. That pair of Red Converse changed my life. Thanks Papa. :)

Make up, yes I love it. Though I try minimalizing my make up nowadays, I still love make-up. I remember how I would stand next to my mom, admiring her beauty and all her products, sometimes secretly (maybe curiously) opening her make up box, and seeing it like it's a box full of fun magic. There was a time when I thought that make up can make me look the person I am not, I thought it would make me look even more beautiful. Then as I started growing up, becoming more matured, I realized that I do not need to apply thick eye shadow's of many layers, and a thick dap of blusher, all I need is my SPF 50+, a little bit of powder, a touch of blusher, a hint of mascara & eyeliner - and I'm done. Simplicity at it's best. My inspiring Mom would be why I cut down on make up, she constantly reminds me to nurture and take care of my bronze-toned skin. And I believe her, that it would benefit me as I grow elder. :)


 6) Puppies, Dogs & Puppies again. - Unconditional Love. I mean, come on! Those faces? You get it.


That's it I guess. Oh!
