It’s been a while since I last had a wedge of lime into my herbal tea. It’s #anthocyanin in a solution of #butterflypeaflower extract.

IRCC as always 🙄 I’d looked forward to meeting Bang Cong Huynh in Canada but oh well. Proud of him nonetheless!

I feel personally attacked by this

Got my new belt today. Always thankful that I have built a community of support in Kingston from my karate class.

Academia: Let’s address authors only by their surnames. Vietnamese Nguyen’s: Thanks a bunch.

Didn’t think that I would use a 3x2 ANOVA for my research. I could feel my brain blowing smoke as I tried to process what is meant by interaction between the factors. I created some graphics to help me learn. Hopefully they would help my other group members with stats too!

Finally one step out of the cave, Singapore 👏

Preparing for the #MidAutumnFestival the Vietnamese way. Do you know our primary school curriculum includes teaching us how to make lanterns? The coolest one is star-shaped but we couldn’t find the materials for that.

I remember posting about how my name gets jumbled up in Western naming convention, and this person of a certain privileged group told me “if you can’t accept it, maybe it’s time to go back to Asia”. I didn’t know that there was a polite way of saying “go back to your country”🧐

Last henna tattoo I had before this was 6 years ago in Malaysia. Kingston is so much more colourful when cultural diversity is celebrated. If I can stay here after I graduate, I may aspire to have a booth for the Vietnamese community next year. #InterculturalArtsFestival

First time putting my art out there for exhibition! Can you tell which artwork is mine?#ArtAfterDark #Midnight #selfacceptance

It was one hell of a roller-coaster ride but I made it!

Western naming system just turned my name into slander again, “Thi Phi” literally means slander 🙃 They have everything but my first name in there.

#KeHuyQuan wow bringing tears to my eyes what a beautiful night for the Asian community in the motion picture community ❤️❤️❤️ #Oscar2023 #asiancommunity

Me being me, seeing people use Ke to address Quan Kế Huy aka Ke Huy Quan the guy who just won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting role, drives me nut. In Vietnamese, his first name is Kế Huy, or just Huy for short.
