I was born on an island where a merlion spurts water. My ancestors braved monsoon winds sailing to British Malaya where some of them planted roots. When the winds changed, a few of them travelled again, this time to the western hemisphere, where they made a new home. I live at the intersection of East and West and am comfortable in both worlds. I call London home where I live with my family, two scampering squirrels and a regal fox.
