BLOG: Slow your body’s internal clock during the pandemic—Part I

August 20, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

LNY Traditions, Stash or trash?

January 31, 2019 By Assunta Ng

Lunar New Year was the happiest days of my childhood in Hong Kong, where I was raised. What’s not to love? There’s no school, great food, new clothes, and lots of red envelopes (lucky money).

BLOG: 6 outrageous things I did in college for survival

September 13, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Going to college in the United States is an incredible gift, and the lessons I learned during that time still resonate with me today.

BLOG: How to be more happy — My list of happiness

May 31, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Most Asian parents assume if they have given their kids a strong education, they have done enough. And if the parents have imparted kids with wisdom to be ethical and kind, they did their job. Not quite! I didn’t teach my children how to get rich. I was unable […]

May 3, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly
