Nelum Hansani

  My first work experience. After high school I applied to university and looked for a job while at home. A friend of mine got a job opportunity and she couldn't join it so I got that opportunity. I got the job at Rasota Tea Factory☕🍵. It was 10 km from my house. The first thing I had to do was check the CCTV📷. Later I was assigned to balance of the green leaf books. Then I was assigned to computerize the weight of the leaves🍀💚. Little by little I learned to work. Later I did the work of processing employee wages, issuing green bills, issuing cheques, etc. I was also assigned tasks in word, excel. Later tea leaves were issued and computerized, fertilizers were issued and computerized etc. I was very happy working there. I went to work at 8 in the morning and left work at 4.30 in the evening. I got free transportation, and not only that, food🍚 and drinks🥛 were also free. There were two sisters of my age with me at that place. They are very funny😊. We enjoyed every opportunity

 A brother like a father. I have a brother who cares like a father🥰. He is Ashen Shanaka. He is 27 years old. The age difference between us is 6 years. He now lives in South Korea🇰🇷. He went K/ Gangasiripura College from Grade 1 to Grade 11. He went to G/ St. Mary's College for Advanced. From the year 2019, with the aim of going abroad, the necessary arrangements were made☹️. But due to the crisis conditions in the country, his work was hampered😞. But in September of last year, he went abroad🙂.                 All expenses for my education are borne by him🥺. He gives me everything I ask for. Even in a foreign country, he always looks after me and gives me protection. He eats different foods and he sends me photos of those foods.🍜🍙🍘 He wants to see me study well and get in good shape. Even though he didn't say it, I know he loves me very much. I always wish him well.

The king & queen of my world . My parents are the king 🤴  and queen 🫅  of my world 👑🌎👑 .  My father is Wijesinghe. His age is 61. My father is currently not working. My father's first job was a machine operator👨‍🔧 in Maliban. Later he left it and came to the village to grow vegetables👨‍🌾 as a job. Crops such as tomatoes🍅, beans, cabbage🥬, carrots🥕 were grown there. He worked hard to earn money and spend it on my brother and me. Father has a small tea estate🍀, so now he is maintaining it. My mother is Champa. She died of a heart attack 13 years ago😥😢. She died when I was 7 years old☹️, so I don't have a clear memory😖 of her. I am sad about it😞😢. I have some memories because I have her photos.  Her job was sewing🧵🪡🧶.  I remember she sewed different styles of clothes for me👗 They also prepared different types of foo🍜🍛🥪🌭🍗🍚. My mother and father are very loving and kind.💓💞💓 I know they love me very much 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🥰.  I love them too. And I think

  About me. I'm Nelum Hansani☺️. I am 21 years old. I am a first year student at the University of Visual and Performing Arts. My hometown is Gampola. Later came to Elpitiya with my family. I studied from grade 1 to 5 at K/Morahena Primary School . Studied at St. Teresa's Girls' College from grade 6 to 13. Music🎶  is my favorite subject. I participated in various music programs and competitions🎤 during my school days.  I am a non-social person, so I don't have many friends. That's my weakness😖. One of my favorite foods is ice cream ice cream🍦🍦🍦. Also, I like to eat different foods 🍔🍟️🌮🍜🍛🍚🥪🌭. I like to go to the beach🌊. When you go to the beach, you feel a strange sense of freedom. Also, I like to listen to music with earphones 🎧 in my free time. I don't like sports, but I like chess♟️. I like to be nice and tidy. I always try to be happy☺️.

 A day of freedom. Last 14th, I and some of my friends went to visit Galle Fort. We traveled by train🚆. It was a rainy day🌧️☔. The rain bathed us well . At noon the sun shone🌤️🌞. We sat down in one place and sang a lot of songs. Then we ate ice cream 🍦🍦 . We walked a lot of distance, and took a lot of photos📷. There is a juice bar run by an army camp at one of the gates exiting the Galle Fort. It has different types of drinks. We drank avocado🥑🥑 juice from there🍹. We took a lot of photos. But it was hampered by high winds there🌀🌀. Afterwards we went to Dharmapala Park. When we went there, it was around 2 in the afternoon. We had lunch there🍚🍚. We walked in the park and took photos as well. Later, when we left the park, there was a "Achcharu" shop near the exit. We bought them.                                       😋 Around 3 pm we reached the railway station🚉to leave for home. It was a fun day... 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️

 One month new life. Last year, December was a special day☺️. The 12th of that month was the starting day that added a new experience to my life. That was the day I first stepped into the university🤗🤗.  Although that day was a very happy day, it was not without fear🥲🥲.  The biggest challenge I had was making friends😣😣. It's a challenge for me because I'm a non-social person.☹️ So I was very scared. But after one or two days, I met new friends. I have met friends who help me🥰🥰. I also help them in any way possible. One of the favorite places in the university is the canteen😂😂. Its food is delicious😋😋.  Every building in the university looks the same😅. Therefore, it was difficult for us to find lecture halls in the early days. Our seniors helped us🤗. We had to use the stairs. So it was one of the words we do not like😪😤😇. Before the end of our physical month, our senior people held a concert☺️☺️. It is a very beautiful memory note🥰🥰🤩. Now we are learning online

51th Celebrating. On the seventh of last week a special day. My music teacher's birthday🥳🥳🥳 happened to be on that day. My friends and I wanted to surprise the teacher☺️. We planned it for a month😎. I bought a gift🎁 and it was a sari. But I was curiously that she would like it😣.        My friends and I bought a cake🎂🎂. Then we surprised her by going without telling her🤭. She was very surprised as well as very happy. After that we cut the cake and celebrated the birthday🤗. The gifts we brought were presented to her, and she accepted them very happily🤩. On that day, we sang a lot and had fun😉😉. It was an unforgettable day😍😍.                                                                        ♥️
