Her proudest moment is when she was given the opportunity to sketch a portrait of one of the lecturers in her university. She is truly honoured and grateful for the opportunity.

3. Mohd Aliff Haidin was deemed as ‘hopeless at drawing’ when growing up. After putting in tons of effort in hopes to contribute to a contest entry, he was turned down by his classmates. That moment was a turning point in his life as he decided to practice drawing and pursue his passion. In 2017, he participated in the NDSSC’s calligraphy competition. He aspires to one day showcase his masterpieces in an art exhibition once completing dentistry. Do check out his artwork @gadients
