What does my middle initial "J" stand for?
To not mention the "J" would be to forget my heritage. "J" expands to the name Jia Jiunn Yutaro, where Jia Jiunn is Chinese and Yutaro is Japanese. Written below are their characters along with a literal translation.

Floorball
I attended high school in Singapore (Victoria Junior College).
From 2010 to 2018, I played floorball for my school teams. Check out my rainbow floorball stick!
This game brought me to many regions and arenas in Singapore and gifted me a chance to travel to Sweden too.
