Eurasians - Mixing it up since before you were born

About Me

I'm Eurasian (Singapore + New Zealand = me) and totally enjoy my mixed blood status. I do not speak Chinese so quit asking ;) Sometimes I try to make useful things like clothes and food but 'somewhat-impractical' is more my forte. I swim in the summer and sleep in the winter and I like the inbetween seasons because they're pretty. My future goals include learning to speak Japanese and knitting a house cosy.

My Interests

Japanese animation/music/culture/stuff, Knitting, Sewing, Orchids, Portable electronics

I'd like to meet:

Happy, fun, contented people. I will knit them cosies!View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
