Dancing I prefer to try Jazz because it doesn’t need big movement.
I haven’t been dancing since CNY.
From 8 years old, I started to learn Chinese painting/drawing. When I in the high school I learnt the art and draw sketches and oil painting. Yeah, for Chinese painting I think I still have the skill, but in terms of oil painting, I kind of forgot. Just 1 or 2 years for examinations. If I’m getting old, like around 50 years old then I would choose Chinese painting. Now, I want to learn more modern painting like abstract painting. You can follow your mood.
Now just so tired on work. Sometimes I’m just lazy, I booked an appointment but I choose to cancel. Not now, but during the pandemic, I workout at home.
Coding because I think it’s a new trend for the world is everyone learn coding. Also online classes they also have a lot of coding lessons. If you learn coding or if you learn particular… if you can learn these skills it will help with work efficiency.
During the CNY, I read the book of rich dad…it’s true it’s quite important to let the children learn finance, money management.

I haven’t been dancing since CNY.
I started to learn Chinese painting/drawing since I was 8. When I was in high school, I learnt how to draw sketches and oil painting. Yeah, for Chinese painting I think I still have the skill/I can still draw well, but for oil painting, I have almost forgotten everything. I studied for just 1 or 2 years for examinations. When I’m older,  like around 50 years old, then I would choose Chinese painting. Now, I want to learn more modern types of painting/art like abstract painting. You can follow your heart.Â
Now I’m just so tired with work. Sometimes I’m just lazy, I booked an appointment but I decided to cancel it. Not now, but during the pandemic, I worked out at home.
Coding because I think it’s a new trend around the world/globally because everyone is learning to code.  Also, there are many coding lessons online. If you learn to code, it will help you to work efficiently.Â
During the CNY, I read a book called “Rich Dad”…it’s true it’s quite important to let the children learn finance, money management and so on.Â
