Finding My Voice In Mandarin

Finding My Voice in Mandarin What’s up, Story Time family!✨ If you’ve been following my journey here at Story Time Productions , you know I’m always looking for new ways to sharpen my craft and expand the horizons of our stories. Back in October, I decided to take a leap into something completely different: I signed up for the HSK 1 course at the Confucius Institute right here in Suriname. 📚 Three Months of Hustle I’ll be honest—learning a language as intricate as Chinese is like learning to see the world through a whole new lens. It was a whirlwind three months of characters, tones, and grammar. But the hard work paid off! I officially passed my exam for lessons 1–8, and I am hyped to announce that I’m moving straight into the next course. 🚀 🎬 The Vlog: Closing Ceremony Vibes In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of our Closing Ceremony . It was such an inspiring atmosphere! You’ll get to see: Snippets of the official speeches. Talented students from various level...

🐣 Easter Weekend: Heavy Loads & Secret Blueprints

 🐣 Easter Weekend: Heavy Loads & Secret Blueprints 

"A stylized anime illustration of Shachem, the 'Queen of the Mountains,' sitting on a cliff overlooking a vast Surinamese river valley at sunrise. She has multi-colored (purple and blue) curly hair and wears a green jacket with Suriname flag patches, an HSK1 ID badge, and a glowing UFO pendant. She is writing on a glowing holographic tablet with a pen. Nearby are stacked books, including a specialized red HSK1 textbook, and a boba milk tea. In the bottom-right corner, on top of the books, is the actual book cover for her authored work: 'Trouble in Halloween Town' by Shachem Lieuw. Surrounding her are other world-building details like a professional camera, a 'Thermo Dynamic Solutions N.V.' toolbox, and a stylized skeleton. A floating, glowing UFO icon has text that says 'UFO SUBSCRIBE' with social media icons."


Happy Easter Weekend, Tribe! 🛸👑

As the world slows down for a few days, I wanted to check in. I know how it feels lately—the loads of life can feel incredibly heavy. Whether you’re navigating personal mountains or professional marathons, the weight is real. But as we always say here, we must keep pushing forward. Evolution isn't always comfortable, but it is necessary.

🛠️ The "Super Team" is Forming

I’ve been quiet lately for a reason. I’ve been on the ground here in Suriname, head-down and focused, gathering a literal Super Team for some upcoming social projects.

I’m not ready to pull back the curtain just yet—I don't want to jinx the magic before it’s solidified—so just wish me luck for now! 🍀 Something impactful is brewing in the "Story Time" lab, and I can’t wait to show you what happens when local talent and big visions collide.

✍️ The Mandarin Struggle (Wo Bu Xihuan Xie Hanzi!)

Between the secret projects and the business, my Mandarin studies are keeping me on my toes. I’ll be honest with you: Wǒ bù xǐhuān xiě Hànzì (我不喜欢写汉字) — I do not like writing Chinese characters! 😂

It’s tedious, it’s intricate, and it’s a total brain-burn. But I’m doing it anyway. Why? Because to keep evolving as an author and a blogger, I have to be willing to be a beginner again. Expanding my "language" is how I expand my world.

🚗 What’s Coming Next...

I’m currently unpacking a massive vault of new content for the blog. Get ready for:

  • Foodie Adventures: Tasting the soul of Suriname.

  • Behind the Scenes: A raw look at what it actually takes to run a business and a brand.

  • Roadtrips: More dusty trails and hidden gems.

  • Free Stories: The kind of lore you can only find here.

Don't miss the evolution. If you haven't yet, hit that subscribe button. This world is getting bigger, and I want you in the UFO with me when we take off. 🛸✨

Enjoy your weekend, stay strong, and keep building.
