back in my teens i was really keen on making handmade things and liked to see beautiful things including furniture, lighting and art-deco. so one of my dreams is to be a carpenter in my uni years. I had a feeling that one day I could make my own furniture which would be perfect because I made it myself. Due to the fact that I don’t have a big house now, I need to make money to buy one first. The process of making my first wooden spoon was an ecstatic experience which took tons of time to finish and even though I hurt my finger, I was still super happy. It’s a goal of mine to take some carpentry courses in the future.
