Friends who know me knows that I am very proud of my heritage. I'm a Malaysian Chinese with a Hakka-speaking ancestry. I am fluent in English, Malay, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, and Hakka as I grew up learning and speaking in these languages on a daily basis. 

​

When it comes to my life motto, it may be cheesy but definitely: work hard, play hard. My peers have commonly branded me a workaholic, as I would indulge fully into a project to see it until its completion. I deem myself hard working, not afraid of new tasks, and also in being blunt. In my personal life, I love taking weekend trips and small road trips here and there to spice life up. As a newcomer in Wisconsin, I definitely have lots to explore. 

​

For those who wonder a little more about my home country, Malaysia is a wonderfully young country located in South East Asia. Our culture is very diverse as Malaysians are made up of descendants from Malay, Chinese, Indian, Portuguese, British, and indigenous people. Hence, a profusion of faiths and religions, with Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Sikhism and even shamanism are found in our country. 

​

Malaysians share the love in food. Malaysian food is heavily influenced by Thai, Chinese, Indonesian and Indian cuisine. If you must try a Malaysian dish, it has to be Nasi Lemak! This dish  is considered  as our national dish—a little banana leaf parcel that cradles a bed of coconut rice with spicy sambal, crunchy dried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, cucumber, and egg (sometimes sliced of hard-boiled, sometimes cooked like a flat omelet). I could go on and on about our delicacies but atlas, this isn't a food blog. 

Other than enjoying food, I find myself at bliss when I make them too! I frequently cook & bake new recipes and find inspirations from daily blogs and YouTube videos. I think the process of trying, failing, and trying again until there's success with recipes translates nicely to what I strive for in life. I am a person who is not afraid of the unknown, but rather afraid of the regret from never trying.

PS, If you ever want a jar of cookies, I can always hook you up!
