little miss e

little miss e… a busy little bee

 

 oh little miss e.

that busy little bee.

we’ll tell you her story

in a 1, 2 and a 3.

oh that little miss e! she was the product of ease wong and george lee!

They’d grown up together… they sat in the same classroom in their small home city in Malaysia. Truth be told… they were actually rivals. Both vying for the same position at the top of the class. No one would ever have thought that these two would have ended up married, with a beautiful family, living halfway across the world…  Some things, you just can’t predict. After graduating high school both left their families at home to come to Canada, both seeking excitement, opportunity and a new beginning.

They came looking for something new, only to find each other. In a big, cold, new country, even the faintest whiff of something familiar is enough to strike a chord in your heart. And so in each other they found comfort & a person to start a life with in a new country.  

 

 

 

 

And from EAse and George LEE came EALEEN [our little miss e]. She was delivered unto this world at Grace Hospital, in beautiful Vancouver, BC. She grew up in East Vancouver, moved over to Delta and felt a yearning to go back to East Van, and thus moved back to East Van for the remainder of her youth.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little Miss E had a lovely red coat that she always wore. She never took it off and wore it every chance she got!

Little Miss E got a lonely as a single child… but not for long! Along came her two siblings, Ivan & Megan. Each of them, 2 years apart… they grew up together, getting along strangely well for a bunch of siblings, and finding in each other comfort, friendship and trust.

 

Family is something that always has and always will be important to Little Miss E.

little miss e… let’s find out the things that make her happy!

 

 

ANTIQUES

Something old… something from the past. Little Miss E has a secret love for antiques. When her grandparents first came over they opened up a small antique shop in the heart of Gastown.  There she found a love for all things vintage and antique. She found a curious love for mysterious artifacts… which led to a love of scavenger hunts. Her dream? To one day explore an ancient castle or an attic and spend hours depicting the story behind it all.  

 

 

MUSIC

At first glance, one would expect her to play the flute or the clarinet. Little would you know, she plays the trombone and the drums. Not only that but she also learned to play the piano throughout her childhood and played in the recorder ensemble!         

 

PHOTOGRAPHY

Miss E always had a love of being able to capture a moment in a frame. She loved it so much! She started working with a start-up photography company, doing their marketing and helping them launch their company onto the market. This only piqued her interest more! Her love for photography has allowed her to meet famous individuals like Adrienne Clarkson (her hero) and NeYo.

     

 

DESIGN

She’s always had a love for all things design and fashion related. She took sewing class in highschool, sewing her own dresses and pieces of art.  She later fulfilled her dream of going to NYC and taking a design program at Parsons (The Project Runway school).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VOLUNTEERING, NON-PROFITS & SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Little Miss E has been avidly involved with her community since forever.

One of her most proud accomplishments was hosting a Barrio Kennedy Fundraiser at the Vancouver Art Gallery and Hope 2 Offer dinner that ended up raising $260,000. She won the City of Vancouver Youth Scholarship for outstanding community leadership, academic and athletic excellence.

little miss e & the ones that make her smile

 

 

 

Through her Case Competitions Miss E has not only gained lots of business experience, but has also made new friends from all over the world! After participating in many of them such as JDC West, Royal Roads and many other, E has learned many a new thing from all these people and these are the things… they don’t teach you in school! 

 

Some people search their entire lives looking for “the one” only to find that their one love was there all along. In Miss E’s case, her love was there all along.

Chris & E grew up together… had been friends since forever and had known each other since they were wee ones. It took a while for them to find each other, each of them living their own lives. But in the end they found that the person they were meant to be with, was the person they started off with at the very beginning. They say that sometimes you go away and experience it all, only to find that where you heart is, is right where you left it.

 

 

 

 

Little Miss E grew up going to the same church for all of her life. Her Dad pastored there for a while and she grew up with the same girls.

Luckily for her she found a solid group of girlfriends upon whom she could trust and rely on. Even though they’ve all grown up and moved on they’ve still managed to maintain their friendship and stay close like sisters. 

 

 

 

 

 

There are some friends that you just have for life. April is one of those for Miss E. 

They met in their childhood… grew up together… and have been close friends ever since. Together they have travelled, gossiped, adventured and have done all the things that best friends do together!
