So, you are as curious as the proverbial cat to know more about me. For my Aussie friends, you can skip this page as you have known me for yongs, so there isn't much for you here.

Do I always look as happy and dashing as in the picture on the left? Only when I am out cycling! (tongue-in-much-cheek, of course)

Okay, here's my brief profile of myself.

I was born in Hong Kong in 1969. My family immigrated to Australia at the beginning of 1977 when I was still seven. My cradle language is Cantonese, but English is my main and functional language. If I work on learning more Chinese characters and expanding my Chinese vocabulary, I can become truly bilingual in all aspects. I can also speak Japanese, but I still have some ways to go before I can call myself a competent speaker of the Japanese language..

I am an EFL teacher and in my eighth year in the profession. I have taught ESL classes in Sydney as well as EFL classes in Hong Kong, Prague and Japan.

When I am not working, I love being outdoors. Cycling and hiking are two of my favourite hobbies. I also like to play tennis and touch rugby. Listening to classical music is another one of my favourite pasttimes. Composers from the Romantic Period are my favourites, such as Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, and Saint-saens. I also enjoy reading military history and novels in my spare time.
