Hobbies

I love playing the violin and playing tennis...especially on summer evenings since it's not too hot and not too cold and the sun's not in your eyes! I also love learning about Chinese history and art and watching Chinese soap operas! Since my knowledge of Chinese characters isn't too advanced, my daddy tells me stories and history and poems and cool stuff like that!


What is...?

My most prized possession? The abacus necklace my grandmother gave me a long time ago.
My bedroom like? Really really cool...with all my postcards and Chinese and impressionist prints!


The Future...

Career: Probably something similar to what I do for my internship...program...work with computers...actually...I really like designing websites...but we'll see!
Place to live: In France, on the countryside by a lake or stream in a castle! Or you know what would be really cool, to live in the Forbidden Palace as a princess and wear those really pretty robes and hats!
