WELCOME TO MY WORLD: ART, TECHNOLOGY, AND LOTS OF PINK! π✨
Who is Sulaiman?
Hi everyone! I’m Sulaiman, but you can just call me Lemon (it’s definitely my favorite nickname). I am 16 this year and a proud member of the Ihtisyam batch at SMKA Al-Irshad. I’m a local from Kepala Batas, Penang, and my daily commute to school is only 3.8km. Just a local boy with some pretty big dreams!
The Family Plot Twist π²
I come from a close-knit family of five, but here is a fun fact: there’s a 15-year age gap between me and my eldest sister! She is 31, i'm 16, and my little sister is 12. Despite the age difference, my parents are my biggest supporters. Whether it’s picking me up late after school activities or investing in my education, they have always been there for me.
Pink is the Vibe π
Let’s break some stereotypes here: Who says guys can’t like pink? I own a lot of pink stuff—from my pencil cases and notebooks to my laptop. To me, pink is a soft, calming color that brings peace of mind. If it looks good and makes me feel zen, why not?
The Bread Enthusiast π☕
I have a very specific obsession with bread. There is something so satisfying about that soft, fluffy texture when you bite into it. If you pair it with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, I’m basically in heaven. It's the simple things that matter!
My Sweet Circle π€π
Back in elementary school, I had the most incredible team. We were a group of six (three boys and three girls) who were completely inseparable. What brought us together was our shared obsession with drawing and anime. We would spend hours talking about anime and sketching together. Now, those days have turned into precious memories that I hold very close to my heart π’.

The Soundtrack of My Life π΅
Music is a huge part of my life. Last year, I spent 38 days' worth of time listening to music on YouTube Music! I’m a big fan of Anison (Anime Songs). It keeps me calm and locked in whenever I’m doing homework, brainstorming, or editing videos.
My Creative Journey: From Stickmen to Murals π¨
It all started at age 8 with simple stickmen comics. By age 10, during the COVID era, I upgraded to digital art. I was quite proud to get a 98% score on my Art exam when I was 12!
In Form 1 and 2, I was trusted to draw murals in the school's Starlight area, the Computer Lab, and the Library.
Fun fact: I can draw almost anything, but I am honestly terrible at drawing living things like people or animals! π*
IT Dreams & Innovation π»
I don’t have a specific job title in mind yet, but I know my future is in IT. I’ve already started jotting down innovation ideas because I’m determined to build something impactful. Fun fact: I didn’t take ASK (Computer Science) in lower secondary, but I didn’t let that stop me. I chose Computer Science for my upper secondary years because I believe that when you want something, you just have to make it happen.
The Life of a Content Creator π¬
I began editing videos and photos at 10 because I wanted my social media to look "aesthetic." By age 12, I was mimicking anime fan edits. https://linktr.ee/chibi.mochii
In Form 3, I joined the pioneer TVPSS crew. Working with a team of different talents was a real eye-opener for me.
From Zero to Pro: The Unexpected Cameraman π₯πΈ
To be honest, I wasn't interested in photography or videography at first. It just wasn't my thing. But when I joined the TVPSS crew in Form 3, I had to learn everything because it was part of my responsibility. Outside of school, I’m just an ordinary person who doesn't even look like I know how to take a decent photo.
However, when I’m given a task or an "amanah" something clicks and I become a total pro. I don't even use a fancy, expensive camera; I do everything using just my iPhone. It taught me that you don't need the most expensive gear to produce high-quality work—you just need the right angles and a bit of passion. I’ve spent countless hours studying lighting until I could finally deliver solid results.
Interior Design & Strategy π§
During Form 1 and 2, I was the most enthusiastic person when it came to decorating the classroom. I even managed a budget of RM800 for my class in Form 2!
By Form 3, I led the PSS renovation from start to finish. I revised the design and cut the budget four times to meet the school's requirements. It taught me how to handle materials like a professional. Currently, I’ve already planned the TVPSS strategy for 2026. I love listing new content ideas and seeing them come to life.
Leadership: Leading with Integrity ✊
In Form 2, I served as a Class Monitor. It was quite a challenge, but I’m proud that I managed to get everyone to cooperate. People actually noticed how we transformed our room—I still remember someone saying our class had the "best appearance" among the others. It wasn't an official award or anything, but it felt great that our hard work didn't go unnoticed.
Now, as the TVPSS Bureau Chief in Form 4, I want to lead systematically while still being a leader who understands his crew's feelings.
Core Memories: The TVPSS Diary πΊ
One thing I'll never forget is "camping" at the PSS. Back in Form 3, we were so busy with competitions that we spent all our time in the library. Things got chaotic and almost crazy because of last-minute work! Lesson learned: this year, we are finishing everything early.
Another great memory was during the TVPSS workshop. Our team of four was captured in a photo while preparing the poster and video. We looked so focused and almost crazy because the time was short, but we finished with solid results. It was a moment that I cherish very much.
Final Thoughts: Making It Happen ✨
Seriously though, I’m just a student with big dreams, trying to make things happen. I’ve always lived by this one rule: "If you want something, you have to make it happen" (Kalau kau nak, kau kena buat). I know it sounds a bit clichΓ©, but it’s the truth. I realized that success won't just "bergolek" or magically fall into your lap while you're doing nothing. You really have to put in the work.
Anyway, thanks for reading my life story lol. It's been fun sharing my world with you guys. Catch you later, and stay awesome! π✨
Bye-bye!
Sulaiman (Lemon)
