- Originally from Malaysia but I've been living in Australia for about 25 years. I'm the eldest in my family and I've got one sister. My parents both studied in Australia so I guess they knew how good the country was before we moved over here permanently. My upbringing was typical of many other Asian kids that moved to Australia, and that was study hard and have no social life till your out of high school. Throughout my high school years I was always loved creative writing and English was my best and favorite subject. I ended up getting straight A's in my entrance exams.
