About Me

So...what can I say about my self...well, I was born and raised in Hong Kong but to be honest, I'm not proud of it as it's a place with too many conservative, superficial and pretentious people(luckily not all of them are like that) but yeah I'm sure I'll get out of here one day or just learn to deal with it.
I'm usually quiet, passive, emotional, blunt, impatient, anxious, paranoid, a bit obsessive, perfectionist but reasonably friendly...I can be unkind at times...sometimes and I'll do things that I will regret later on.Listening to music plays an important part in my daily life, since I don't interact with people everyday. I guess being alone is just as enjoyable as being around people. I don't tend to be too talkative even when I do go out to nightclubs. Not that I'm being a snob or anything, it's just that I prefere to observe people, looking at them enjoy themselves and I do enjoy myeslf as I'll be immersing myself into the music and dancing...humm... to the wall at the corner lol. Right now I'm in a transition in becoming a happier/ more positive thinking girl but my mind is in struggle and I'm possibly think way too much.
I draw, paint and sew a little. I've just started getting back into making art after putting it down for a few years. I've have not been totally happy with any of my own creations as I think they are indifferent. My skills are still to be improve. However, I'll always enjoy making art and that's what important. May be I just have a tendency to over criticize myself or is it just a lack of confidence after all? Having a good level of self criticism is good as it's one of many ways to push myself forward, to search for breakthroughs...but I think i need to cut back on that a bit now.
I'll write more when I can think of something I'd like to add.
