How does your daily routine go?
問﹕你每天的生活規律是怎樣的？
My day starts with getting the kids ready for school which includes making breakfast and lunch. Once kids are off to school, I like to have a few moments of my own quietness whether it is fixing myself a good breakfast, reading up the news, replying emails, and/or jogging by myself along the beach. I usually leave the house around 10:00 am for work. I have my own private practice and I also work for LA County Area of Aging. I spend my workday seeing clients, teaching classes and staying up to date on the most current information on nutrition and wellness. I pick up my kids around 4 pm for their after school activities. The evening is spent mostly making dinner, going over kids’ homework, and making sure they practice piano and read.
After my little ones go to sleep I write reports for my work, check in with social medial and return emails. Sometimes, I simply cuddle up with a cup of hot tea and a good book! It’s a long, but exciting day without a dull moment. I love my family and my work! They feed my soul!
Do you still find any time for yourself?

問﹕除了工作和育兒外，你如何處理自己的私人時間？你喜歡做什麼？
I truly enjoy exercise, whether it is jogging, swimming, hiking or biking. I try to fit an exercise routine into my busy schedule at least 3 times a week. Exercise keeps me in shape, but more importantly, it keeps my mental wellbeing in check. Cooking is in my blood. I start experiment with food when I was 10 years old and fancied myself as a TV cooking host. So, in my spare time, I enjoy cooking for my friends and family and also experiment new recipes. Books are everywhere in my house. Finding the time to read in today’s busy lifestyle is hard, but I try to read whenever I can. Right now I am reading a book called The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, which explores the cultural, social, and culinary history of American-Chinese Food.
