From Singapore to New York, Cheung Kuai Heng has loved to take strolls around the city. When she was a child, she enjoyed “masculine activities,” such as playing basketball and football. She came to New York at 18 years old with her parents and 3 siblings, now 72. From the first step she took in New York, she knew that she would love it here. She enjoys the fall and winter the most, saying that the heat of the summer is too much to handle and that “我喜歡冷空氣,” I like the cold air.

“I love the winter, the air is so crisp and cold. The heat of the summer is way too much to handle.”
