Hi my wonderful Steemmates!
My name is Journey (yes it's my real name) and I joined Steemit on 18 June 2017! Here is my selfie. :D
My first language is Chinese, I'm fluent in Mandarin & Cantonese, and I can read both simplified & traditional Chinese characters (something that i'm actually quite proud of. lol) I was born in Beijing, then moved to Guangzhou, Singapore, Hong Kong (briefly) and I have also lived in Canberra, Australia for a few years. I love all the places that I have been to or lived in, and the older I become the more I learn to appreciate the beauty in each person, place and event.
Currently i'm living in Singapore. <3
Now i think it'd be fun to introduce myself further through answering some ice-breaking questions. If you like this idea please answer these questions in your self introduction too! (And please remember to tag me so i could see your answers ;)
If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get?
Sweet potatoes. That's how we survive on Mars, Matt Damon. Better than potatoes. (Referring to The Martian.)If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
A pet turtle. Because it's so chill.What is one goal you’d like to accomplish during your lifetime?
Learn as much as i can about the meaning of life and the universe.Who is your hero? (a parent, a celebrity, an influential person in one’s life)
My parents and close friends. Leslie Cheung, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso (his paintings in 1932,) Thomas Downing, Mark Rothko, Conan O'Brien, Satoshi Nakamoto, Joseph Murphy, Igor Ledochowski, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Audrey Tautou, Juliette Binoche and many more.What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?
Siesta! Sing! Dance! Swim! Drink watermelon juice by the beach with my loved ones. It's summer in Singapore all year round so... staying indoor with aircon is sweet too.If they made a movie of your life, what would it be about and which actor would you want to play you?
Would be fun to have an AI play me. It'd be a story about a girl realizes that she's not a human and she can teleport and time travel. Yay.If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be and why?
Coffee, because it's perfecto.What’s your favorite cartoon character, and why?
Chibi Maruko-chan, because she's so adorable, mostly silly and lazy. lol
If you could visit any place in the world, where would you choose to go and why?
Probably somewhere hidden from the public, because why not?What’s the ideal dream job for you?
Just Steemit.Are you a morning or night person?
I'm 30% crepuscular and 70% nocturnal.What are your favorite hobbies?
Something creative, something artistic. Making something with my hands, doodling, painting, graphic design, dressmaking. Swimming, playing tennis (not good at it,) playing table tennis (not very good at it either. lol) Watching movies and TV series, hanging out with good friends, learning new things!What are your pet peeves or interesting things about you that you dislike?
None.What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?
Snake. Fish milt. Chicken feet. Century egg.Tell us about a unique or quirky habit of yours.
My mobile phone is always on silent mode with vibration off too.If you had to describe yourself using three words, it would be…
Beautiful, empathetic, curious.If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?
Romantic science fiction with a little bit of action and a lot of comedy.If I could be anybody besides myself, I would be…
Is this a trick question?

i'll play your game and answer 2 questions, don't want to flood the comments section with something too long :p
If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get?
eggs. i could survive easily on an endless supply of eggs. they provide me with all the nutrition and energy i would need!
If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
i'd probably be a really fat cat. not sure what breed, but just a lazy ass cat that only eats and sleeps

Hi Journey, I want to say welcome and give you a gift. The gift is a song by an amercian band that shares the same name as you (in the video it says in Houston because Houston is the city they are singing in)
I also want to try to help you reach one of your goals, you said that a main goal of yours was to discover the meaning of life. I want to send an electronic copy of my favorite book. The book of Ecclesiastes is not a long book (but its a goody) https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=Ecclesiastes&qs_version=AMP
I am going to follow you on steemi so if you have a question just ask captaintj! So Nee-how and La-hoon!
Hi @captaintj! Thank you very much for the song, yes i like Don't Stop Believing, and Open Arms too! And thank you for introducing the book of Ecclesiastes, i will check it out. Cheers
Before we go, can you explain to me a story some Asian people tried to tell me. Thy were trying to tell me some story where if you look up at the moon you have o cover your ears or else the man in the moon will cut your ears off? or something like that, will you please run that story by me again...Thanks Zi-chen :)
Hi @captaintj! Asia is a very very big region that includes many countries and different cultures. Personally I haven't heard of any stories similar to the one you had mentioned. Sorry can't help you with this one. 😄
Very interesting name @thisjourney. Never heard of that name before. Looks like you are always on a journey ..Lol . I believe learning multiple languages is the best exercise for the brain and it makes you a lot sharper. So you are right to be proud of it . Looking forward to your posts and welcome to steemit

Hi John! Thank you so much! What a wonderful project you are doing now! Love your gardening and farming! I spent 3 months working as a farmhand in Bundaberg, Australia in late 2011. It was one the most meaningful experiences for me and i always remember it fondly. All the best to you and i'd love to follow you on your journey too!
Wow, that sounds like an awesome experience! Connecting with the earth is something that can benefit us all!

Thank you @saisei!
Welcome and Chibi looks like a fun character. I should probably look at those cartoons. You might be or could be a fan of Star Wars since it has romance and the fighting in space and the action stuff.
欢迎加入哦。;-)
