Interests

In my spare time, I'm a photographer 📷 who is quite interested in old houses 🏛 and architectures; an urban sketcher 🎨 who sometimes stand in the middle of street and capture the scene with my pen and paper; a drummer who is quite self-entertained however not that professional for a performance.

Cycling is my favorite way of keeping fit. I like most games with ball and net, 🏓🏸🏀🎾🏐and I like to hike and cycle 🚴 when travelling. I love music and listen 🎧 to almost any genre, sometime I'll hang out with my friends in some local live house performance. I like those cool bars and cafes especially where there will be a live performance, I don't like those noisy night clubs which simply let off hormone of youngsters

I like cooking a lot. I can cook fresh different flavour salads and sandwishes…… 🌯 Although I cook Chinese dishes, recently I'm now more fond of the light cooked food like veggie salads, pastas and whole-wheat bread, I'm not a vegetarian however I have my strict rules when it comes to meat food, quite strict compared with that of my Chinese friends.
