to start with. I reckon as the year progresses, I’ll have more questions than answers. Haha. But that sounds fine with me.
I like questions.
WHO am I?
Shari Chong Ying Yi. Chinese-Malaysian. Mother-tongue English. Educated in Malay & English. Born and raised on Penang Island, Malaysia. Described as a “Caucasian Tai-Tai”. Speaks a little Mandarin and Hokkien.
What is the biggest part of me?
Being a Christian. Being a Christian Chinese-Malaysian growing up in Southeast Asia. What does that mean?
Being considered a “Westernized/Americanized Asian”. What does that mean?
What does being “Ang Moh Sai” (White Shit) or “Kin Jiu Kia” (Banana Kid) really mean? What perceptions do these people have? Or Asia? Of the Western World? What is the “Western World” to them?
