A Short Write-Up
I am a Dickinson student who hails all the way from Singapore. Being far from home, I am growing into my new environment, and hopefully making good use of my time here.
Also, I'm an 'ox' according to the Chinese Zodiac. Something to note: Chinese Zodiacs are based on the Chinese lunar calendar, and they are divided by lunar new years, which doesn't follow the Gregorian one. For the year 1986, most of the people born on 1986 are 'tigers', but I am an ox as I was born before the lunar new year, making me a lunar year older and an ox. Not sure how true these zodiacs are.
My Chinese dialect is 'Cantonese'. Roughly speaking, they are sometimes referred to as the 'Italians of the East'. The Cantonese don't share the manners of their Northern cousins, and their cuisine is renowned worldwide. Hong Kong is a strong example of great Cantonese cuisine.
Language-wise, I have formally learned English and Chinese for all 12 years of school. However, that does not exactly mean I have mastered both of them. Rather, my Chinese has suffered quite a bit due to my over-relience on English. But if you talked in Chinese, I should be able to comprehend.
Home in Singapore
Currently, my family lives in Cairnhill Plaza, a condominuim nicely situated on the outskirts of Orchard Road, a popular shopping destination. Also, my aunt and grandfather live in the same block, a few floors below my family.
Cairnhill Plaza has been home for me for about 8 years. The apartment has enough room to accomodate my whole family, and we have no plans to move out.
