Editor’s Note
The Journey
When I first arrived in Wales, I had no idea what my project would be about. I was just
certain about one thing - that I would write. Filming or video-editing was never a niche
of mine. Acting or being in front of the camera was also not an option, being a camera-shy
person. Writing was. I love to write. Always have and always will. I remember when we
were younger, my mum would hold a small contest between me and my sisters, to see
who could write the best short stories, where the winner would get a prize. Most of the
time I won. I’m pretty sure the times I didn’t it was because my mum felt bad for my
sisters. Jokes aside I love my siblings. I love how our mother turned what most would
find boring, into such a fun activity where we were both learning and at the same time
strengthening the bond between us.
The first few days here I was still clueless about what I’d be doing for this project. It was
after the first cultural trip to the beautiful Llansteffan Castle, when I realized what I was
set to do. I’ll write about the beautiful places here in Wales, the food and culture, the differences
or even similarities of this country compared to Malaysia. I want to able to tell
my story to readers and allow them to experience my journey here in Wales through my
writing.
