I was born in Hong Kong, I am a Singaporean citizen, but all of my educational qualifications come from Australia. It's slightly complicated. We used to live in Brisbane. Currently, my mom works as an accounts clerk. My dad has stopped work and began focusing on doing short term mission work. My sister is working as a speech therapist, and is engaged to be married at the end of this year.
