ABOUT ME

Hello there.

I guess the 'about me' section on my blog is not informative at all so carry on reading if you want to know more about me. However, at the same time, I have to try to protect my privacy on the Internet at the same time.

My name is Fiona Ghui. I think the first two things that pop into people's minds is Shrek and "what a unique surname". Yes, my name is Fiona and I've gotten numerous nicknames linking me to the green ogre character and many others too; and am really used it nicknames having being teased my entire life. I really don't mind it. As for my surname, Ghui, it originates from China, from some royal dynasty or something. So, my grandmother (maternal) IS from China. But, because my other grandmother (paternal) is a peranakan from Malaysia, I'm half-peranakan!

Before I bore you with my family tree and all that, I'm just glad to have been in such a family, caring and all that. I love my father, mother and two siblings. Being the eldest kid, I've always found that I'm the one paving the way for my siblings. I don't like it, because they get the better treatment and easier life, but I know it'd kinda like my duty.

I studied in at Fairfield Methodist Secondary, moved on to Pioneer JC and then am currently at University at Buffalo at SIM. I wouldn't say that I'm the brightest kid or the most hardworking, but I'm really not the academic sort. I like learning and more importantly, creating stuff (drawing, sewing, taking photos,...).

I'm not a dreamer or a slacker, but I really have not found out what I want to do or be in the future yet. I took up communication here in SIM-UB because it was like the most general degree (apart from marketing or business) and something that I might be interested in. I'm on my second last semester and I really do not know what I want to do in the future ): All I know is that when I graduate in April, I'll probably work on a farm somewhere in Australia, New Zealand or even Greece and Paris. This can be made possible through wwoof.org. It's an organization that kind of helps farm owners find volunteers to work the farm, and in return, they provide us volunteers with food and lodging.

I guess I just like being out there doing stuff, making my body and hands work. I know that I'm really not interested in administration, finance and all that, so God bless me in my future job hunt.

Anyway, apart from all those academic and job stuff, I like green tea, good food, taking good photos, having a good body and basically having a good time... and I hate durians, bad days, not having money to spend,...

To Prof Ray, if you are reading this, I look forward to a great 15 weeks of lessons with you. Do show more videos as it always helps the class like it all the more!
