  • My Birth

    My Birth
    It was a day that i don't remember at all but it was a significant day. That was the day that i took in my first breath and saw the first glimmer of light. I was the first son of my parents and i was born at the Shanghai Hospital floor #4. I think that it was really sunny that day as the world greeted an important person into reality :D
  • Moving from China to Canada

    Moving from China to Canada
    The memory was really fuzzy and i only remmebered that i was on the plane, which was traveling from China to Canada. I was sitting next to the window seat and as i gazed out of the window, all i saw were dark, and scary images (because we were traveling at night). I must admit, i was scared of going into a new country and thus, i couldn't sleep at all on the plane. My mother didnt like me staying up all night so she tricked me into sleeping by telling me kids who don't sleep gets thrown out.
  • The birth of my little brother

    The birth of my little brother
    I used to be an only child and i would get everything to myself. I wouldn'e have to share my candy with anyone else. My parents would treat me the best because i'm their only son. But after June 17, 2004, that all changed. Once my brother came into the family, i had to learn to share my candies with him. I also noticed that my parents are taking more time with him than me. Although i was jealous in the beginning, i learned that having a brother has it advantages.
  • First Piano Concert

    First Piano Concert
    When i was in grade 4, i participated in my first ever piano concert. My piano teacher rented a concert hallway and invited all his students to play 1 piece of music to everyone else. I was only level 2 at that time and i thought i would play somewhere in the middle. However, my piano teacher surprised me and told me that i would be the opening act. When i got up to the stage, i saw everyone stare at me and i was really scared. But i pulled myself together and started playing wonderful music.
  • Grade 6 Graduation

    Grade 6 Graduation
    In Toronto District School Board, elementary school goes from kindergarden to grade 6. It was a significant day because i recieved the highest award: the Principal Award. I was really happy that day because now, my name would be imprinted on the list honours and if i come back to visit my elementary school when im 50 years old, i would still see my name there.
  • First Badminton Tournament

    First Badminton Tournament
    It was my friend who introduced the sport to me. After seeing him swing his racket and destroying his oppenent, i decided that it was a sport that i wanted to play. So i made it to the team and i played mixed doubles. Our team played really well and we moved on to cities. During the final tournament, me and my partner played our best and won. However, the rankings are based on the team's effort so even though my partner and i won first, our entire team got the silver medal.
  • Grade 8 Graduation

    Grade 8 Graduation
    Oh how i remmeber this day even from today. First, there was group pictures outside the banquet area. Second, there was the ceremony and i remember receiving the music award. Than, we had dinner and dance and that was the time where i would hang out with my friends. Some of them i will see next year, while others i wont see in a long time. It was a night of both fasination and anticipation.
  • Trip to Brock University

    Trip to Brock University
    I decided that during the summer of 2011, i wanted to travel to somewhere useful. Therefore, i took a vacation at Brock University. I learned everything there is to know about university life, such as what the classrooms look like, what the interior of the university look like, and what it feels like to live at the residental areas. At the end of my 4 day vacation there, i learned a lot about what to expect from studying at a university.
  • First Cruise Trip!!!!!

    First Cruise Trip!!!!!
    During winter break, i had the most amazing experience ever! I went on a 7-day cruise with my family and it was absolutely the best 7 days i had ever had in my life. I could go to the24/7 buffet and feast anything at anytime. I could hang out at the Leapord Lounge with other teenagers. I could play soccer at the gym. I could swim in the pool or chill at the jacuzzi. And the best of all, i can spend some family time. But chilling with other teenagers is better!
