ZAN, ZANG, TOJAN
I'm Izzan Adriana. I was born in Kajang, Selangor but I've stayed in Perak for over 7 years but last few months, I moved to Kuala Lumpur. I have 5 siblings and I'm the youngest.
My birthday is on the 19th of December. Feel free to deliver some gifts to my doorstep.
Back in high school, I was in the Account stream but I've never had the desire to further my studies in Accounting. Getting the opportunity to study at UiTM Dengkil is one of my top wishes and I'm beyond grateful to finally be here to further my studies as a TESL student.

Ambition
I want to be a lecturer in the same university that I'm currently studying.
My mom and my dad are the most supportive people in my life. They always make sure that I'm motivated to keep doing what I'm doing. They are literally my backbone. I also love the fact that they are really accepting, be it friendship-wise, partner-wise, or anything that is related to my life. My parents are very generous when it comes to friends or guests. My mom and dad always treat my friends as their own children. They bought my friends pizzas, Nasi Tomato, Nasi Arab and many more. Some of my friends in Perak even call my parents Mama and Abah. I'm very grateful for having a happy family.
I'm really close to my family members. I have 5 siblings and I'm the youngest. My siblings consist of 2 females and 3 males. I only have one sister, who is the oldest and we are very close even though she is way older than me. She is 36 years old and she works as a lecturer. I video call her pretty often. Since my sister got married and lives in Kedah, I'm stuck with my older brothers, Abang Jo, Abang An, and Zakwan and I think that is the reason why I don't really act as girly. I always wrestle and play sports with them. My oldest sister and the other 2 older brothers are married. I've become an aunt since I was little because my brother got married when he was 19. I have 4 nieces and 2 nephews in total. Although my siblings and I are really close, we never say the sentence "I love you" to one another. It might sound egoistic but we prefer to show our love and affections through actions instead.
Family
Was I an entrepreneur?
After the SPM examination had finished, I felt so relieved since The fact that I got to finally relax at home while watching Netflix made me realized how frustrating school used to be. After spending too many days relaxing, I started to feel like I was being very unproductive because I slept at 10 a.m. in the morning and woke up at 5 p.m. every day. I basically became an owl. We all used to get pocket money for school every day to buy food during recess. I used to save RM3 every day so I had some savings but not that much. However, since I didn't go to school anymore, I had no income. I couldn't save money per usual. Instead, I used most of my money to hang out with my friends, go bowling and buy food. I didn't want to ask my parents for money so I decided to start a small business.
How DID I start?
What did I sell?
One day, I was scrolling down Instagram and I saw a cake pop recipe. I was interested so I tried to make cake pops by myself according to the recipe. Surprisingly, they turned out to be delicious. I decided to add a topping which was melted Cadbury drizzle. I started to promote my creation through Whatsapp groups, specifically to my family and friends because I wanted to get some feedback first before promoting it to a bigger audience. Within 2 days, I got a lot of positive feedback. For the first 2 days, I had about 22 customers which were surprising.
I decided to ask my friends to tell others that I was going to start a small business selling cake pops. I didn't have a driving license but I can drive. So, I decided to use my brother's car to deliver every order to their house. I charged RM1 to RM2 for the delivery fee. I was very happy that my business started off great. I had a lot of daily customers and a lot of good feedback which made me motivated to keep going. I also got some regular customers who bought cake pops every single day. I was very grateful for them.
Corndog used to be viral and people became obsessed with it. Some people even went to different states just to taste some specific types of corndog. Ever since then, I decided to try selling corndog but with a little twist. Instead of making it oval like every other corndog, I created a Corndog Cheeseball. My mom helped me a lot in adjusting the recipe to make it taste delicious. The batter was a lot better than other regular corndog's batter. I made it spicier instead of bland. I started selling Corndog Cheeseball and Chocolate Cakepops every day. I started to have a daily income again. The only thing was, it was very tiring since I had to go back and forth from my house to the customers' to deliver their orders. I usually started delivering in the morning and closed my order at 7 p.m. I was very happy seeing my customers satisfied with their orders. I gave 40% of the profits to my mom for helping me throughout the entire process. I made quite a lot of money and Alhamdulillah, I still have the savings until today.
