I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

In three words, I can describe myself as optimistic, assertive, and determined. A Jack of all trades in beadwork, piano, theatre, futsal, and table tennis. My main passion in life is my family: my husband red and my daughter aki. I cherish still, silent moments when I could just sit, relax, and hang out with my family or just read a good, quasi-sentimental book with a steaming mug of hot milk tea. As I am writing this from the deepest recesses of an evil kingdom called The Hospital, I am being enslaved at the Dept of Pediatrics every three days.
