On this planet

 Completed my first year of college and it was a stressful but enjoyable time.

I was super nervous but afterwards, I wondered why I was so nervous. Anyway it was a good time.  

I got a personal trainer and had two sessions per week since October of 2017. So far, I have lost 5 pounds and kept it off. :)  

 I was selected to participate in a three-week Young Writers program at Simon's Rock Bard College, Massachusetts. We were surrounded by trees, bubbling rivers, and the occasional wildlife (beavers, geese). I made several friends and lear...

I accidentally did it once.  

In grade 11 and 12, I participated in my school's annual lip sync contest. The songs I chose were "Limitless" by Adventure Club the first time and "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran the second time. I didn't get in the top three either times, ...

I've been playing the piano since I was four years old. At first, I admittedly hated it, but when I was around 12, I started developing an interest in it. Music can delve into the soul and clear the mind from all worldly stresses. In the...

I went there for my Winter vacation and it was spectacular! There were several shops where you could buy Hogwarts merchandise, including scarfs, sweaters, mittens, and outfits of the four houses. I'm a Hufflepuff. :) I ate fish and chips...

In my French class, we had the opportunity to chat with Ben Heine, a multi-disciplinary artist from Belgium, through the screen. It was an enriching experience and nerve wracking too, since all of us had to speak in French the whole time...

Went there last December (2015) via cruise (Silversea) and the experience was beyond what words could describe. There was no civilization whatsoever; just various types of penguins (in packs of thousands), seals, and birds flying overhea...

I went to Taipei to visit family. On the third day, my dad took me to the local hospital (where I was born) and showed me all the rooms (all unoccupied). They were neat and subdued in color. To think that this was the first ever place I ...

During Explore when we just observed nature, cooked with portable stove equipment, and had no access to any electronics. Scary but enlightening. 

 I went on a school camp in grade nine and had the opportunity to try zip-lining. It was definitely am exhilarating experience with my hair flying about as I sliced through the air. 

My mom and I visited this lovely country during the spring. I had begged her to let me go to Warsaw because my favourite composer and pianist, Frederic Chopin, lived here. We visited The Chopin Statue, the Chopin Museum, the Church of th...

 I completed my first book (called "The Entertainment of Love") at 14 years old during NaNoWriMo. It wasn't terrific, but after some editing, things may start to look better. :P 

 My mom, grandfather, and I visited during Bastille Day and got to witness the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower. They were of all colors, shapes, and sizes. It was truly breathtaking. We also went to the Louvre, which was interesting as wel...

 Despite the heat, it was worth it.

My mom, my grandfather (the one taking the photos), and I went to Athens, Greece back in the summer of 2011. :) It was sizzling hot and I remember running into every shop we could find just to escape the heat. We ate a memorable Greek di...

 Learned how to do this in my childhood. I fondly remember riding my bike on park trials with my mom and grandfather walking alongside me. 

 When when my cousin, aunt, mom, and I went to London, we got to stand in those cool old-fashioned red telephone booths. It was a nice experience.

Being interested in Roman Mythology, I loved seeing all the ancient temples and landmarks. The food was also great.
