Let's start and tell us 10 facts about yourself. I just turned 45. I was born in Malaysia. And I came to Australia when I was 21. Oh, wow. Longtime. Yes. During the Olympics year, the year 2000. I am a single parent, I have one daughter, she's 11. I am an architect. I run my own design practice. The name of my design practice is 30 axis. What is it again? 30. Axis? Yep. architectural design practice. Oh, that's nice. So what do you what do you do usually like What's your main speciality? Or, like, what do you design? I mainly do residential. A lot of alterations. Sometimes it's a whole knock down and rebuild a new house. Sometimes a lot of people want duplex. So it's kind of a bit of everything. But mainly in the residential area. Oh, that's interesting. So if someone wants to find you where, where they can, where they can find us, you have a website or Instagram. I do. So my website is www.30axis.com.

But I graduated top of my class and I got offered a scholarship to finish my degree but I didn't want to go to Perth. So I gave it to the next person. And I came to Sydney by myself. Hmm, interesting. So you liked Sydney and Is it your favorite place here in Australia? I haven't been to Perth, to be honest, I haven't visited all of Australia. But at that time, when I was 21, I thought I wanted something new. And Sydney seemed like the biggest city in Australia with more opportunities. Also, I think I had this vision that I wanted an adventure not together with my other classmates who graduated in Malaysia, because they were all going to Perth.
