(Author's Note 2)

The prefix 'Kun' is used for names of older family members. It's sort of the distinction between 'Mom' and Mother, or maybe closer to 'Mommy' and Mom/Mother -- so if I called my parents Kun Mae and Kun Poh (how I wrote them phonetically - I know it's weird. They sound like -- Koon May and Koon Paw respectively, but I didn't like how that looked to write each time!), I was calling them the slightly more formal name, whereas my host siblings left out the 'kun'.

Also, the note said:
"I'm so proud of you, little one. How do you like your new room?"
