“My background is actually in Chinese Studies. I did a one year exchange programme in Beijing, and it was one of the first times that I lived quite far away from my family.”

“I’m a writer; I have unfinished novels on my hard drive just hanging out! I usually write short stories, like fiction.”

“A quote I’m living by right now: "Be faithful in the little things.”"

“If I had a superpower, I’d control time, because I can change a lot of things that I’d done wrongly.”

“I like hiking and I'm not much of a city person, so my trip to Sri Lanka was the most memorable.”

“I started painting when I was three or five years old. My parents didn’t buy many toys for me; my father makes wooden sculptures, while my brother can paint.”

“I want to go forward to when I'm sixty, because I think that women are so wise when they’re older.”

“If I were a dish, I’d be an onigiri (Japanese rice ball). I’m not very adventurous, and I like simple things. I like my routines.”
