I like traveling with family and friends. I don't like traveling alone that I tried and I had a car accident! Besides, I love Venice, Italy.

NO rock and heavy metal!

Like Norah Jones style, spanish/tango/salsa music. Love the sound of music, Sarah Brightman, Longer, When you leave me now style (is it 70s?)

Don't like disco songs, sounds too noisy for me (but I do like some old cheesy disco songs).

I crochet shawl/poncho, scarf, dishclothes, tea cosy, coasters, mittens, etc. I'm trying to crochet my very first fish net top. I'm not very advanced in it, but I hope to put some more creative elements in my crochet work.

I don't knit, but I hope I could learn it from my mum one day when I'm back to Hong Kong (I'm studying in England now).

I do not always do felting, but I know the basics to do it and I have sucessfully made 3 felt beads, which I wish to use it to make earrings or a necklace with.

I don't sew (using machine) and I'm scared of the moving-quick-needle of the sewing machine, but my mum is an expert and I hope I could share some of her sewing genes soon. (I could sew things by hand though, but not embroidary).

Updated: I've just got a toy sewing machine which I could examine some of my patterns/projects with now.
