Hi Steemians, I'm a Malaysian girl, that grew up in Kota Kinabalu, the largest town in Sabah, Malaysia. Arts have and always be such a big part of my life. I had been dancing and drawing since I was little, I ended up going to an art school to pursue my passions within the arts community. I was raised in a Malaysian Chinese family by open-minded parents. My childhood was happy and carefree.
Time flew by and in 2013, I had officially graduated from high school. I flew all the way from Kota Kinabalu to San Francisco by myself, and I was only 19 years-old. I love the city and left my heart there still. It is so vibrant and full of creative minds. Being able to live in the States, I travel quite often and I began to dream about work-traveling. I want to explore life to the fullest and to experience everything that I never experience before. Being able to share those beautiful moments with you is amazing.
After my further studies and work in the States, I flew back to Malaysia in 2016. And I am finally able to live with someone important I met 7 years ago. And now, I have met some good friends from the States who I am still keeping contact with. It was, in retrospect every single steps and decision I made was worth it. I miss everyone who I met and lived with. Therefore I started to illustrate places I have been to and make them into postcards. San Francisco is a city where my heart belongs.
