Background Information
I am a Dickinson student who hails all the way from Singapore. Being far from home, I have left a very familiar environment and thrust myself into a foreign land. I am growing into my new settings, and hopefully I would be making good use of my time here.
For one, I am not a life-long Christian. Rather, I was a real doubter of Christ before I got to know Him, and it was only at about September 2005 I chose to accept Christ in my life. If you are interested, my testimony can be found here.
According to the Chinese Zodiac, I am an 'ox' or just a cow. 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.
My New Home
Welcome to Room 114 of Adams' Hall, nestled comfortably within the scenic town of Carlisle. I share this great room (it has 2 windows and it is slightly larger than normal) with Eric. The second window makes a huge difference as we do not need to depend on the air-conditioner to have a cool room to rest in.
Adams' Hall has quite a good location and is located close to the Holland Union Building, coincidentally the hub of the college. It is where students go to for a wide variety of reasons, such as meals, mail or getting textbooks.
