hey-o

i feel like i hardly ever post any personal stuff on this blog, so i might start doing longer journal entries every once in a while :-))

okay so! here goes

one of the things that have been floating round my head is how much i miss hong kong. it’s kind of a weird thing, because my family is malaysian-chinese and i don’t have any close relatives in hk, but i always feel so at home there.

i think that part of it is the whole american born chinese aspect of my personality, and how it’s affected me throughout my life. i’ve never felt super at home here, really. i think a big part of why hk feels so comfortable to me is because it’s this mix of chinese and western influence, kind of like i am. you know how in biology, they always say “nature and nurture”? it’s strange to think how different i would be if i grew up somewhere else.

i’ve also gotten this scholarship thing in the mail, which i was super excited to receive! it could really help my family throughout the infamous college years.
