关于我 · About
我在一个说三种语言的家里长大：华语、福建话和英语。I grew up in a house that spoke three languages, and translation has always felt like home.
我喜欢翻译日常生活：菜谱、招牌、长辈说的话。I like translating everyday life: recipes, shop signs, the way my grandmother talks. Good translation keeps the warmth, not just the meaning.
周末我会去巴刹，学做娘惹糕，也在学书法。On weekends I go to the market, learn to make kueh, and practise calligraphy.
