The Jabberwockies. Thank you for understanding that reference. Yeah. We're everywhere. And so we were, you know, basically just watching the videos every single day, stealing all the moves, trying to add our own spin to it and pop and unlock in and, you know, using everything that we had in our tool set, which wasn't much, but we just loved it so much.

And I think it was where I kind of found my love of performing, especially, you know, I think growing up, you know, I went to a very academically inclined high school and really, you know, had to navigate my parents' expectations for most of my childhood. And they were definitely pushing me to be, you know, they were both electrical engineers, definitely wanted me to follow in their footsteps.

And if not that, then definitely, you know, medicine, STEM, engineering. Didn't want any of that for myself. You know, I wanted to kind of, I guess, be out there and be seen and dance to the music and to the beat.

You know, I remember flashes and feelings, but I do remember... We had this tiny little ramshackle apartment in Harbin. There wasn't running water for many parts of the day. The water wasn't drinkable, so we had to boil everything that we drank. And there was no hot water, so anytime anyone had to take a bath, it was always kind of a bit of a thing. Although for me, I had no reference point.

I just thought that that was how people lived. But I also, more than all of that, I remember this overwhelming feeling sense of, of safety and belonging, you know, with my, with my grandparents, um, my yeah, yeah. And my nine, I was very, very close with them. You know, we just, they were my parents for, for all intents and purposes.

And they had always tried to tell me that I had a mom and a dad that were, you know, abroad and that one day I would join them. But, um, I don't think these words necessarily mean anything to like, like a three or a four year old. It was very difficult for me to grasp that. And when my dad did show up one day, I was about four and a half to, you know, bring me back to Canada with him.
