Introduction
Hello everyone! My name is Iris Tong, and I'm currently in my Hotel and Foods Administration program. I dream about travelling and food, its what got me into this program. I took the CIS*2050 DE course to know more about computers and most of all to boost up my overall marks. I have a full-time summer job at a restaurant right now, which sometimes will get to me when staying on track at school. I am actually, trying to fast track my University years so I'm taking 4 summer courses this summer. Yes, I have officially ruined my own summer, so much for enjoying the weather and getting sun kissed now. I am cool too!

Here's My Life
Alright, my life can be as dull as it can be, but can also be as interesting it can be. I was born in Hong Kong, and I came to Toronto, Ontario when I was 6 years old. It was new to me and I loved it here, and I still do. Though I'll miss Hong Kong from time to time, since my relatives and spent 6 years of my blurry life there. Im currently living alone in Canada now, because my whole family has moved back to Hong Kong. Why? Thats because my 2 brothers and 2 sisters have all graduated from school already, and chose to move back to Hong Kong to start their career. (Yes, I have 4 older siblings) The closest sibling to me is 6 years apart. (Yes, I sometimes think that I might be an accident.)

I joined a chinese singing contest last fall at University of Guelph, which is maybe the most crazy thing I ever did in my life. I don't know what happened to me, but I got all excited about singing, and I signed up for the contest. The experience was a blast, I met a lot of friends from other joined universities that participated in the contest, it was fun and I guess I made the most out of it to make it a spark in my life!

Education, Work Experiences
My very first school was a small kindergarden in Hong Kong, and I still have that tiny little uniform! All I remember was snack time during kindergarden, where I had cookies and juice! Moving to Canada, the first school I attended was Terry Fox Public School, for grades 1-3I then moved to a newer region called Richmond Hill and attended SilverPines Public School temporarily for only grades 4-5, and switched to Richmond Rose for grade 6. My parents then decided to bring me to a private school called Town Centre Montessori School, and stayed there for grade 7-8.

WOW. yes, it wasn't a good experience for me, because I never had any lifelong school friends. Though, I found some of them through Facebook, but I was never invited to any elementary school reunions, because of my constant school switching. =( Lucky that some of them still keep in touch.

Highschool, was Bayview Secondary School, which was the only school that I stayed in fully, and it was fun, but not as fun as I thought it would be.

Work Experience

 * 1) Tim Hortons, when I was 15, going on 16 later that year, and it was a fun and good 2 years.
 * 2) I then worked at Club Monaco, which was a really stupid place, because the manager took half my salary and later on got in big trouble and lost her job. The government still have not claimed my salary yet. So I pretty much "volunteered" at Club Monaco.
 * 3) I then worked for my brother's business, for a year as an administrator and that was when I knew I have to finish my degree at University of Guelph, and work towards my goal!

Hobbies
I have lots of hobbies, and I love doing lots of things!!


 * Playing piano
 * Road Trips, driving to some place far way
 * Eat, Cook and trying all sorts of food and flavours, and here's an image of an unforgettable Japanese dish I tried during my travel in Hong Kong, its a Beef roll with some sort of mushrooms!
 * Swimming, Tennis and Golfing is new!
 * Like every girl, shopping!
