After BHS I went to boarding school in the UK. Not great but not ghastly! Would have rather been in HK with family enjoying dim sum, Ocean park etc than cooped up in an all girls boarding school in rainy England!!
After “A” levels completed a Law degree in London. Had no idea what I wanted to do with it so dabbled working in a Law firm for a while before going to Law school. Passed all the exams and started looking for a job during the last recession. Training contracts were very hard to come by so moved into Telecoms. Worked for AT&T for the last 10 years until they started outsourcing to countries in Eastern Europe particularly Slovakia and I could not compete with a young graduate earning a third of my salary!
Have had a great time travelling over the years to many places with a soft spot for Africa. Mum and Dad left HK in 1985 and moved to Singapore for 6 years so I was blessed with many more exotic holidays in Asia before they returned to the UK in 1991. I have only been back to HK once since leaving and that was just for a week in 1993. Would love to go back and see the old haunts. I have such special memories of the place and know how lucky I was to have been brought up there. How I miss authentic Chinese food!!
I currently live in Gloucestershire in the UK surrounded by beautiful countryside and picture postcard Cotswold villages. It’s a world away from the skyscrapers in HK!! My main hobby is trying to keeping fit! I enjoy circuit training, skiing and walking. I started learning tennis while at BHS and have loved it ever since, it’s my passion!!
I have done some daft things in my time including river rafting down the Zambezi and jumping out of an aeroplane. The scariest challenge I have ever undertaken but ultimately the most rewarding was working in an orphanage in Romania for Autistic children in 2004.
The best decision I made was to marry Lawrence which we did in 2005. We are currently busy sorting out our new home and would like to have a child. I am planning to set up my own business.
