Selamat petang kawan kawan! (Or “Good afternoon, friends!” My name is Ryan Moh, and I’m an international student from Malaysia studying at the U of A. People usually call me “Ryan” or “Mou” because many people can’t really pronounce my last name correctly. Right now I’m a freshman enrolled in the Walton College of Business majoring in International Business. During my spare time, I like to play basketball, watch Korean or Hong Kong dramas or any “blockbuster movie”. I am especially a big fan of food videos, like “Worth It” and videos on how food is made.

Hi! My name is Patrick Kwok, and I am an undergraduate (Junior) majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. I am also the President of the Indonesian Student Organization called Persatuan Mahasiswa Indonesia Amerika Serikat or shortened as PERMIAS. I am studying abroad at the U of A in hopes as I pursue my dream goals, which are to become the chairman of my father’s company and also my own IT start-up company. A little bit about me: My interests outside of school are playing music and also sports! I can play the piano, a Chinese instrument called Guzheng, a little bit of violin, and during this quarantine, I am currently learning how to play guitar by myself. Furthermore, I’m very passionate about sports–that is one of the reasons why I chose the U of A.
