Todd: OK, so he was OK after the heart attack.

Shuan: He's fine, yeah.

Todd: OK, what about your mother? Does she work?

Shuan: My mother, no, she doesn't. She used to work. In fact my mother and my father met at work. They both worked for Cathay Pacific, which is an airline based in Hong Kong. My mother was a stewardess and my father was a pilot, so they met that way in Osaka actually.

Todd: Oh, what a story. OK and what about your sister? You said that she's a student.

Shuan: She's a student. She's actually in her first year in McGill. she's actually in her first year in McGill unversity which is in Quebec. I haven't spoken to her lately so I don't know how she's doing.

Todd: OK, do you know what she studies?

Shuan: I believe it's arts and humanities.

Todd: So you and your sister, are you similar or quite different?

Shuan: Oh, we are definely quite different.

Todd: How so?

Shuan: I was the rebelious type. I pretty much laid the foundation for my sister to get all the freedoms that she has, and she doesn't appreciate any of the things I've done so,.. another way that we're different is that she's really into arts and drawing and painting and making music where as I'm more into the technical side of things, like I'm into computer making, fixing cars.

Todd: So it sounds like your quite different. Well, maybe she'll listen to this and she'll appreciate you more.

Shuan: I hope so.
