 If I could only have one type of food with me, I would bring soy sauce. The reason being that if I have soy sauce, I can flavor a lot of things. |
| I also have a lot of preserved foods, things that will keep for a long time like dried fish, seaweed or lotus seed. |
| Anyone that has come to America past the age of eighteen will be able to understand when I say that you can never shake your accent. |

| I don't like to waste anything. Any food left over from the night before is always eaten the next day. |
| I live a very low-key life. |
| Happiness is within. It has nothing to do with how much applause you get or how many people praise you. Happiness comes when you believe that you have done something truly meaningful. |
