"My mother was very proud of her Indian heritage and taught us, me and my sister Maya, to share in the pride about our culture. We used to go back to India every couple of years."
"...India is the oldest democracy in the world – so that is part of my background, and without question has had a great deal of influence on what I do today and who I am."

It’s Mother’s Day today, I find myself thinking a lot about the way my Mama raised me. And even though our family was from a tiny fishing village Dungun, Malaysia, one of the greatest gifts my Mama gave me was the freedom to explore (with curfew of course!) and develop personally.
For instance, my Papa was a very old school father, he would never allow me to leave home and study abroad. My Mama would arrange a family trip to visit my high school in Perth and impressed my Papa with the school’s education system and the school’s environment that suited me most. Due to the initial experience of me being away from home, Papa had witnessed what I had learnt: cooking, laundry, ironing clothes and much more. I also never picked up any bad habits such as smoking and drinking, he later allowed my baby sister, Rhonda to pursue her education further away from home, and studying at the school of her choice. After graduation, with Papa’s blessing and support, my other younger sister, Race and I were given the opportunity to move to Hong Kong to pursue our singing career. All these experiences, opened up the world to me in so many ways. It’s a beautiful cycle, without my Mama’s help and support, we would not have benefited so much.
And now that I’m raising my own kids, I wanted to pass the same lessons to my sons. I’ve been fortunate to be able to travel with Dylan and Daniel around the world - experiences my Mama never had. Although the setting and era may be different, the message remains the same and it’s one I hope Mothers everywhere will pass onto their children - in seeking out new perspectives and striving beyond our comfort zones. I believe only then we can discover more about ourselves.
On this special day, I want to wish all the amazing Mothers in this world a very Happy Mothers Day! Especially to my Mama, I’m thankful, grateful and blessed to have a mother like you.
P.S thank you Michelle Obama for inspiring me to write about my Mama and quoting your lines which also apply to my life.

7月22號「亞洲嘻哈高峰會」當天的英文致詞如下：
先生女士們大家好，我是這次活動的主辦人大支。
首先我要請大家一起歡迎我們這次的特別來賓。
來自越南的Suboi、韓國的Flowsik、日本的Anarchy、美國的Steelyone，當然還有我們的熊仔。
跟這些朋友的結識，有的是在國際的音樂節，有的是朋友的朋友，有的是合作的夥伴。
我們大家都處在不一樣的國度打拼，但毫無疑問的，嘻哈把我們連結起來。
今天能跟那麼多頂尖的亞洲饒舌歌手同處在一個舞台在以前是很難想像的。
我還記得以前我們在台灣嘻哈一開始的年代時，the source雜誌要用訂的。
有時還會請國外的朋友把bet的節目用錄影帶錄下來然後寄來台灣。
我們那時常常笑說：在台灣Hello Kitty比Snoop doggy dogg紅。
但沒想到今天，我們亞洲嘻哈也能漸漸前進歐美。
西方人逐漸知道亞洲不只Big Bang和Jacky Chen。
除了現場這些來賓的作品在國外大放異彩外，
像Rich chigga那首Dat stick 還有例如It g ma也都在國外有亮眼成績，雖然我個人感覺很難聽，哈哈。
就連我也都跟Wu Tang、Nas和達賴喇嘛合作，
還上了CNN、BBC、Time雜誌，在NBA籃網隊的比賽裡面中場演出！
順帶一提，我的姐妹也是今天的貴賓Suboi居然在歐巴馬面前饒舌，真的是超屌！
所以我們今天齊聚在這裡，舉辦這個高峰會，就是宣誓：
「亞洲嘻哈即將正式席捲世界」
今天台北還有另外一場中國饒舌團體（Higher Brothers）的演出，希望他們也能爆滿。
One Asia ,peace
What’s up ladies and gentlemen,
I’m the chair of the organizing committee Dwagie,
First of all I would like everyone to welcome our special guests
From Vietnam, Suboi
From Korea, Flowsik
From Japan, Anarchy
From the US, Steelyone
Last but not least, our own 熊仔
You may be curious, how did I meet these friends?
For some, we met at international music festivals.
Some are the friends’ friends.
Some are our collaborators .
We are all working really hard in different countries
But have no doubt , We are all connected today because of Hip hop.
It’s hard to imagine, that we can all stand together on the same stage, with the best rappers from all over Asia.
I remember in the past, in the early days of Hip Hop in taiwan , we had to subscribe by mail “The Source” magazine.
Sometimes we had to ask our friends in the US to record shows on BET, and send us the VIDEO TAPES to Taiwan
There was a joke we said at that time, Hello Kitty was more popular than Snoop Doggy Dogg.
But who knows today , Asia Hip Hop can march slowly into Europe and America.
The westerners gradually know, in Asia there’s more than just Big Bang and Jacky Chan
In addition to the songs produced by these special guests here that are taking over international stage by storm,
there’s also Dat Stick by Rich Chigga, and It g ma.
They all did well internationally, even though they are not my style , oops~
Even myself, I got to collaborate with Wu Tang, Nas, the Dalai Lama.
Made it to CNN,BBC,TIME magazine, performed at the NBA Brooklyn Nets Game.
Also a huge shout out to my sister,
our special guest today, Subio, she rapped in front of Obama, that’s so sick.
So we are all coming together here today to make this summit happen to tell the world:
“Asia Hip Hop is going to take the world by storm”
and today on the other side of Taipei, there’s also hip hop groups from China, I hope they will have a full house too.
one Asia ,peace

With National Adoption Month in the US coming up in November, and the recent drama involving the most high profile entry on this list, it seems an appropriate time to make this video.
1. Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is who everyone thinks of when it comes to a Hollywood celebrity with an adopted Asian child. Actually she has two, Maddox from Cambodia and Pax from Vietnam.
In 2001, Jolie applied to adopt 7 month old, Rath Vibol from an orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia. Unfortunately, this didn’t seem to go well. The adoption process was halted soon after when the US government banned adoptions from Cambodia amid allegations of child trafficking.
When it was all said and done, when the investigation was over, fortunately for Jolie, the adoption of Rath Vibol was deemed lawful. Jolie brought him back to the States and renamed him Maddox. 5 years later, Maddox became older brother to Pax, who Jolie adopted from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
Today, Maddox is a regular 15 year old kid, who can sometimes be seen with a shaggy bleached blonde mohawk, and who has a long distance girlfriend who lives in England.
Unfortunately, 2016 marked the end of Brangelina, as Angelina Jolie & husband Brad Pitt are now going through a Hollywood divorce involving 6 kids.
2. Katherine Heigl
Heigl actually grew up with an older sister, Meg, who was adopted from South Korea.
Heigl says: “I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea.”
Her husband singer/songwriter, Josh Kelley initially questioned whether Heigl’s vision for their family was indeed right for him.
In 2009, she got the call from the Korean adoption agency that there was a baby girl for her to adopt named Mi-Eun. There was one issue though, she had a congenital heart defect and had recently undergone open heart surgery.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding her well-being, her future health, Heigl opted to adopt Mi-Eun, naming her Naleigh.
3. Ewan McGregor
McGregor has been in many documentaries including one called Long Way Round where he goes on a 19000 mile journey from London To New York City on a motorcycle, traveling through Europe and Asia, visiting several UNICEF programs along the way.
It was on this trip in 2004, passing through Mongolia, where he met 2 year old Jamyan, an abandoned orphan. Soon afterwards, he adopted her.
4. Meg Ryan
The star of When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless In Seattle & You’ve Got Mail, was elated, when, in 2006, she was notified by the Chinese adoption agency that they had assigned her a 14 month old baby girl. I say assigned because the adoption process in China is like a lottery system, and Ryan had no say in the selection process of her child, who she later named Daisy True
Despite Daisy being randomly assigned to her, Ryan has stated “I am convinced, completely that there was nothing random about it. She is the daughter I should have.”
5. John McCain
Right now the world is watching Hillary & Trump tear each other to bits. 8 years ago it was Obama & McCain going at it for the presidency.
While McCain, was able to become the republican presidential nominee in 2008, his previous attempt in 2000 failed. He had lost to George W. Bush in large part due to an underground smear campaign that falsely claimed McCain had fathered a black child.
In actuality, that ‘black child’ was Bridget, his daughter that he adopted from Bangladesh. Bridget was Bengali, and Bengali people are darker skinned.
Many people said the McCains should be ashamed of her color. The vile campaign had voters being called up by the thousands, being informed that McCain had a black baby and that was reason enough to not vote for him.
Funnily enough, John McCain did not know of his wife’s decision before hand and when he arrived at the Arizona airport to pick her up from her trip from Bangladesh, he was confused as to why his wife was holding a dark Asian baby.
He asked ‘who is she?’ and ‘where is she going?’
Cindy replied ‘To our house’
Despite the initial shock, he has said that Bridget has since enriched their lives.
