about iammyy

Who: Fresh Grad from Singapore Management University, majoring in Sociology, Organizational Behavior and Human Resources (OBHR). International student at Beijing Normal University, Master Programme in Comparative Education. Youngest of the 2 daughters at home , I was born in Hong Kong on 11th November 1986. Well, I would call Singapore my home, now that I have been in this fine country since 18th September 1994. (and I do speak Cantonese at home!)

Education Background: I attended kindergarden at St Margaret’s Church followed by 2 years of primary school life in St Paul’s Primary Catholic School (Hong Kong). In my next 9 years of education, I had the most memorable primary and secondary school life in Singapore. Moving on, I had 3 awesome years of designer life during my polytechnic days, I am now a proud diploma holder in Interactive Media Design (Major in Web Design/Video). Graduated in 2011 from SMU with my degree in Social Sciences. Currently over the great firewall in Beijing, enjoying my masters program (fear not, it’s in English!) and brand new life in a different country.

Random Facts :

  • I play the Guzheng since the age of 9 and performed solo in Esplanade when I was 16.
  • I am an internet addict. It is rare for me to not be online for a day.
  • I wake up to tweets, facebook alerts – apart from the fact I like to snooze my alarm (x5).

  • Site: Been keeping online journals since primary school, from the “Geocities era” to Bravenet, Diaryland, Deadjournal etc to livejournal and tumblr (which is still active). As much as I enjoy designing websites, I think writing is a wonderful form of therapy. This journal’s main objective is to keep track of my university journey and reflecting on my everyday life. Also, I am trying something new, such as themed entries. In any case, if you find my posts offensive or whatsoever, feel free to click on the top right .
