I want to become a pop star when I grow up. Maybe do K-pop music. I like to sing, dance and rap. My idol is Lisa from Blackpink. My parents told me that if I want to become a pop star, I must work very hard for that.
I’m a Chin refugee from Myanmar and I came to Malaysia with my family. I remember we came here by boat. I was very young, probably 6 years old at that time so I didn’t really understand what actually happened back then in Myanmar. I’ve been living here (in Malaysia) for almost 10 years now. I miss my grandparents the most. I haven’t seen them for so many years.
The first day when we arrived here, I didn’t know anything but I felt excited. I could see the differences between Myanmar and Malaysia, in terms of the buildings and the people. I remember that we slept at my mother’s friend’s house because we didn’t have a place to go to. Then, we moved to another house. Around 6 to 8 months later, I went to this school called Chin Learning Centre with my sister. I enjoy learning English the most and I’d like to improve more on my grammar.
In this coming Hands of Hope musical, I play a character named Mathew. There are some parts that require me to sing and dance, and I really enjoy it. Mathew is protective of his brother, Thomas. It’s not a very difficult role to play but the script is really long. The singing part is my favourite because I like the lyrics.
