I'm all about creating things, from comics to video games -- only when I'm creating do I feel like myself. I made this website in September 2016. But it all started on Christmas in 2012 when my first daughter was born. It changed everything. The biggest joy came with the realization of being responsible for another human being, which put me in constant self-doubt, anxiety, and panic. I struggled to balance motherhood and work, which I found was a battle that's doomed to fail. In the process of making all the difficult decisions and seeking a peace of mind, I've been learning, changing and growing every day, together with my children. I'm an introvert who rarely inserts herself into conversations, but if you give me a pen, I will draw anything that comes to my mind. After almost 4 years of being occupied with children, working, and thinking, the urge to create an outlet pushed me to document my life. I want to make things that tell the truth. I want to make things that are close to my heart. I want to make things that after they are grown, my children will read and laugh, and they will understand who I am. I want to share my stories to connect with people. My family is my primary source of inspiration. If this will benefit them in any way in the future, it will be a dream come true. For everyone who enjoys my work, I’m happy that we share the feelings and a dry sense of humor. Weng Chen

I don’t do well with jet lag 😛

Ok I’m joking, I can deal with it. It’s hard on kids tho especially when they have regular routines. When they were babies they were on routines that are accurate to the hour, now it’s bedtime and school, etc. and we need to help them adjust.

When I was young we had daylight saving time in China, it was canceled after they found it didn’t work. I’m pretty happy not need to adjust my clocks twice a year. What does daylight saving time affect your life?

Recently they added two toll lanes on the highway I take to work. Now I have to make a choice every day: To take it or not to. Due to Murphy’s law or some other mysterious reasons the result were rarely satisfying. It didn’t help traffic, just added stress and frustration. I don’t know how this kind of decision that affects our daily life was made, I’d be participating way more than the presidential election. But no one asked me.
