About Me

I'm excited to be me! I've learned not to wait for the storm to pass but to just dance in the rain. That's me ;-)

I'm from the island of Borneo and with an ethnically heterogeneous background--i.e., Iban+Japanese+Chinese+Murut. I'm a cocktail of colorful races. This makes me appreciate differences from every culture, language, and food.

Note: The Ibans or Sea Dayaks are a tribal group in Borneo, sometimes known as the Headhunter's tribe!

My Dreams:
I dream of having my own summer cottage one day, high up in the hills down along the base of a mountain with gardens of 🌻🌷🌺 and beehives. It'd be so fun to have 🐝'z buzzing around collecting nectar and pollen.

When the time comes to harvest some 🍯, I'll enjoy it with a bowl of freshly picked wild blueberries from the mountains and listen to Chopin's preludes played in the background on a Steinway Spirio.

And later that same day, fly my own aircraft across the country and be amazed at the breathtaking scenery this world has to offer.

Ah~~~ Then I'd sigh and think to myself, "What a wonderful world" 🎼🎵🎶
