Hobbies and Interests

There are a lot of things on my to-learn list and my to-do list. 

Firstly, create my own graphic designing portfolio. 
- Every designer have their own portfolio to showcase to the employer/other people. After years of learning and using Adobe Photoshop, I have determine to push myself further to create my own portfolio, which includes graphic designing, typography and hopefully photography (will be elaborated below). I hope to push myself further in the designing arena, so I could make something useful out of it 

Second, to pick up badminton and running
- Since Kenny (In case you don't know, he's my beloved boyfriend ^^) is teaching me badminton, I am keen on improving myself and get stronger by training! Before meeting him, I never knew badminton requires so much skills, running, endurance and determination. I used to think of badminton as a sports where you play with your friend, and as long as you know how to swing the racquet, you know how to play badminton, but I was wrong. To be good, there is so much things that you have to learn.

- I always wanted to do running, but time and venue have always been the problem. I used to go to school early in the morning to run before lessons, but I had dropped it due to extreme tiredness during lesson time. I planned to run three times a week beginning from next week, where I still have to plan where, when and how. I need to train for endurance, stamina and a little bit of speed. Running is actually a very good sports. :) Other than that, I hope to learn yoga from Kenny's parents twice a week, for flexibility and endurance. 
Healthy lifestyle requires some sacrifices. :) 

Third, thinking economically and politically 
- As I wished to pursue my degree in economics and finance in the coming years, I hope to learn to think like an economist. There are so many things to be kept updated. Different people have different kind of views and perspective too, and with that, they came out with predictions, setting standard/rating, and thinking about both the microeconomics and macroeconomics. There are so many terms that I had yet to familiarize with in the articles that I have read, but I hope to learn it one day, in depth. When you think economics and politics, the world can be interpreted in a wider perspective. It's really interesting how things change daily. 

Fourth, pick up photography skills
- Part of my pathway to enhance my designing portfolio, I have decided to take on photography. However, I still have yet to save up for a decent camera for a beginner. My senior had advised me to not buy a dslr but another version of camera with similar function as a dslr, if not better, just with the flaws of not being able to play with lenses. 

Fifth, learn guitar
- Music is a good way to relax, and something that I can learn while I'm feeling wasted at home. It's something that can liven up the mood. Music is also another way to express your sentimental self. I love guitar, I'm gonna get one soon! Still, the money problem. Gotta save up. 
Guitars!! *Drools*
