something to hang on to, a goal. I’m happy now and I’ll keep on playing my guitar,
whoever I may play for.
22.3. Do you play any instrument? And what is it?
Actually, I am not a big fan of instruments. I enjoy listening to music, but
performing
instruments is pot my strong suit. I did learn to play the piano for a couple of months
when I was little, but I ended up quitting. I think this whole hobby thing requires music
talent, which I definitely don't have.
22.4. What might be the best age to start learning to play a musical instrument?
I’d say, as early as possible, because learning a musical instrument requires a lot of
practice. When one is young, his/her fingers are often very agile. And
they are quick to
learn. But when they grow older, their fingers become stiffer and they probably don’t
have enough time because of their busy study or work.
22.5. Do men and women play different kinds of musical instruments?
Well, it’s hard to say. For one thing, I haven’t paid much to what kinds of musical
instruments people are playing. For another, from
what I see and what I hear,
nowadays, men and women are playing all kinds of instruments as they are interested
in.
22.6. What kind of natural sound do you love to listen to? And explain why.
I love to listen to birds chirping, leaves rustling,
rain falling onto the ground, waves
lapping over the beach and streams gurgling down in the valley. They are the real sound
of nature. The beauty is indescribable.
22.7. Do you love listening to music?
Absolutely, I am a big fan of music. Music can always ¡weave its magic to give people
different feelings. And people say that music speaks international languages. I think it is
totally true. Say, |people from different countries can all appreciate the same music.
22.8. What kinds of music do you love listening to?
I love so many kinds of music, such as R&B, soul, new age, reggae and blues. Among all
these kinds of music, I love R&B most. When R&B singers sing, they perform with all
their heart and soul. And I can feel overwhelming emotions coming out from their voice.
22.9. Where and when do you usually listen to music?
Actually, I always take my iPod with me, so basically, I can listen to music anywhere and
anytime I want. The MP3 has been such a blessing! Thanks to the inventor of the MP3,
my music world is awesome!
22.10. Do you want to be a singer?
Well, from what I've known, being a singer is not easy at all.
It’s not just about
performing, but it’s also involved in interaction with fans and other colleagues. Based
on what I’ve known about showbiz, and even the music
industry in general, I think that
I don’t belong to that world.

23. Chocolate
23.1. How often do you eat chocolate?
Well mostly I don’t buy myself chocolate, since it’s quite pricey and not my favorite
snack. Only when someone gives me chocolate will I eat some.
23.2. What's your favorite flavor?
Though I’m not addicted to chocolate, I do have my all-time favorite flavor, which is the
white chocolate. Since I have a sweet tooth, dark chocolate would be too bitter for me.
Meanwhile, milk chocolate just isn’t sweet enough. So white chocolate is just a perfect
fit.
