Dayangku Ruhayah Awang Bolhan

When I first saw her I thought she's a Bidayuh, if not a Kelabit. Again, I was wrong when it comes to judging people from East Malaysia. We were reading the same degree program - Accounting with Business Information Systems - and what can I say about this lady, she's fair, nice looking, very determined and hardworking person and plus a good company. She has a dream to become the country's leading economist.

Shalina Sabtu

How should I describe my this month's guest? She's very close to me, even to a greater extent and indirectly, influenced my decisions on education.

Anyway, it's only 45 minutes from Leeds).


Why God send you here?
Tough one. I’m in search for it myself but I do believe that we are sent to be His slave, to serve Him. It may sound selfish right? Why God put it that way, but in real fact, God gave us the pleasure of enjoying the beauty of the world and thus we should be thankful. Being His slave but being given wealth, prosperity and happiness of living, I think our prayers 5 times a day are not enough compared to what he gave us. I am also thankful that I am sent to a Muslim family and a wonderful one too.

Arachnophobia. Just can’t stand even the sight of spiders... eeewww!

Which film you think shouldn't be produced and what’s your favourite?
Blue films. Favourite film? Or favorite shouldn’t be produced films? My favourite is Forest Gump. Think it’s delightfully creative.

What is your most annoying habit?
’Berdehem’ – clear my throat. I do it too often.

Who do you prefer to be your mentor, Tun Fatimah or Teja?
Tun Fatimah. Tun Teja is on the softy side, judging from my wee knowledge of history.

3. Beli pakej haji (me, mom and hubby) – 40K
4. Shopping spree – 10K
