ABOUT ME

Born in the 70's & spent my early childhood growing up in a large squat in South London, spending my summers running around barefoot & mostly butt naked along with my brother & the other kids in the squat, I consider myself a real flower child :)
As a child I was quite fearless & a tomboy, Loved climbing trees, hanging out with boys & hated wearing dresses (except the special ones my mum made me) Come to think of it, I didn't much like wearing clothes or shoes & in the summer where ever I was would more often than not, spontaneously de-clothe myself & continue the day in my birthday suit. I think I was finally convinced to give that up when I was 5 or 6yrs old.

Although we grew up with very little money, I never really noticed it because we were always busy doing things that didn't require much money, poverty can make a person more creative, & both my parents musical & creative DNA passed on into my genes.. as I still..& very passionately, dance, draw, design & make clothes, wander happily around flea markets & charity shops, looking for bargains :)

And... I absolutely love 2 DANCE!!
If the music's good...I'll dance all NIGHT! :D

PHILOSOPHY

Our journey is an unwritten adventure....So go out there & write it, live it & enjoy it!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Am I really that boring that I can't think of anything right now....???

I KNOW! Well it's not the most amazing thing I've done but the feeling was pretty awesome...
Back in the mid 90's I was 1 of the background singers for UB40 at the World Liberty Concert in Arnhem & we performed in front of more than 80,000 people live & millions more around the world, & standing on that stage with all those thousands of human beings all singing & waving along with you was such a warm amazing & surreal feeling...

教，学，和分享

Now, I don't really consider or rate myself very high on the scale of lets say, school intelligence or a high IQ but I do consider myself emotionally intelligent (if that exists...in my ideal world it does) I'm more of an emotional even spiritual person. I like to observe & listen to people & their experiences. I'm sensative to things & people around me & can usually tell after 1 conversation, a certain look in someones eye or even just their presence whether there's a click with them or not. Let's just say, I have great spider sences.
For me, the best education is the one I get everyday when I wake up & step outside, from life itself, cheesey sounding, maybe, but that's the way I learn & share. We're all people with the same ingredients, just with different ways to cook the recipie & if we can share our recipies, then we can cook the most amazing things! Right!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

When it's possible, I always have an extra place, whether it be a pull out sofa bed or large cushions... But because I live in temporary housing and moving quite often, my living space is always changing in size... Currently I'm living in a school, which I share with 3 other guys, so I have enough space :)
