ABOUT ME

i've always been known to the non-sinophone world as Peggy. my german speaking friends, however, somehow call me "Petra" because they think the name suits me well.

i enjoy writing, though haven't come up with any badass stuff so far, i am still writing. i am more or less a museum junkie, a big cheese muncher, and a francophile in terms of their cuisine and literature.

and i have the most adorable dog in the world.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

when i was standing in front of the pyramids in the desert of sakkara, almost engulfed by sand. i was 11 years old and for the first time of my life, i came to grasp what ephemeral actually means, juxtaposed with the monumental and the eternal.

apart from the desert of sakkara, i just came back from an aurora pilgrimage to the swedish lapland. the phenomenon was awe inspiring. during the whole apparition i was just so overwhelmed and completely rendered speechless. it was an experience of the sublime, and now i've crossed one more thing out from my bucket list.
