Hello, I’m Kylene! Welcome to my online home! Here’s a little bit about me: I was born in Hong Kong, but spent my childhood and teenage years growing up in Singapore. From 2010 to 2017, I found myself making a life abroad in Hong Kong for six and a half years before saying goodbye. In the summer of 2017, I moved to Singapore. And the story continues~
During my time in Hong Kong, I was mainly pursuing my studies at my dream school HKU (Bachelor of Arts with a major in Comparative Literature and a minor in Sociology and followed that up with a Master of Social Sciences in Media and Cultural studies). In between, I also worked briefly in education. Now in Singapore, I work in the cultural sector!
Other than blogging and exploring my city, I love reading books and blogs, going to the movies, visiting museums, hanging out in cafes, wandering around parks and gardens and shopping for books, pretty clothes and stationery. :)
Home to me is both Hong Kong and Singapore, which are two great cities that are as different as can be and I feel extremely lucky to be a part of both. Most days, I’m unable to identify myself as a truly local Singaporean or Hong Konger, so I claim no expertise on either city. I do, however, have a lot of love for both my home cities and I love sharing my adventures on this blog. I hope you’ll enjoy exploring with me!
City Girl, City Stories
City Girl, City Stories is a Hong Kong and Singapore lifestyle blog, meant to share happy adventures worth sharing about, from good food to interesting places to check out and from shopping to nature. This space also acts as a diary for me to document my journey in two awesome cities as I continue to explore them!
CGCS is about exploring the cities I live in (or travel to when I get the chance), appreciating it with eyes wide open and always being curious enough to discover something new.
For bits and pieces of life from Singapore/Hong Kong, I am on Instagram and Facebook! I also share about good books I’ve read on my bookstagram. :)
