少し工夫を凝らしたら遠距離なんて感じません♡
2018年の大晦日の夜に本格のNew Year Eve Showに
手伝いに行きます(笑)
Going to hustle hard for the new year!!
余裕を持っていくぜー!!

今年の漢字は『力』でした!
周りから「行動力」が高いと高評価されたり
切磋琢磨の仲間たちに支えられたり、励まし合えたりして
とんでもなく「力(パワー)」を頂きました。
お陰様で成長させていただきました。

そして、ずっと自分の名前にコンプレックスを持っていたが、
何100回の自己紹介を言い繰り返しててやっと向き合うようになりました。(笑)
一番効いたのは誰かに呼んでくれることよね(笑)

2019年は我田引水しに、
猛勉強と趣味に没頭し直感を育て行く^^
良くも悪くも頑固一徹というところがありますので
(人生)どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

 

Returing “Home”

This is where I grew up.
This is where my family lives.
This is a chance for me relearn my country, and my city.

It is time to re-concept my journey


I grew up in an immigrant family of four; I was the youngest daughter. My family ambitiously left Hong Kong in the 1990s to Canada with hopes of a better living and education for my sister and “future me”. Growing up in an Asian family and in a community where Asians were the major minority group often left me wondering, “What is being Canadian?” Although I was raised in Canada, I was more culturally “Chinese.” I often found myself not understanding the “Western” culture, media, and practices. Plus, I preferred to speak in my native tongue whenever possible.

English is a language that everyone speaks here.
Cantonese feels like home. (It’s like speaking a secret language✌.)

This mindset started to change when I met more diverse people since entering university. Meeting and connecting to those who try their best to learn a language was very empowering. For me, my circle was Japanese-English language exchanges. It made me realized that I am grateful that I can speak some of the most universally spoken languages in the world.

I live a country where multiculturalism is praised, and differences are embraced.
There is no “perfect” English, and everyone’s accent brings some flavour to the language. 😊
As long as you’re trying your best, no one will make fun of you! (Unless they’re laughing WITH you at your mistake. Hahaha♡)

Until Next Time! 😎
