Ten Years Ago
1995 - I was in university, worked part-time at a bank and knitted feverishly. Other than that, everything else is a blur.

Five Years Ago
2000 - My first dab at joining an online community; I met many of my close friends in HK that year. Shortly after, I went through a major change in my life (quarter life crisis?!) - quit the job, cut some ties and being lost & confused, I took a sabbatical in Vancouver for 3 months before getting back into "life". I do not regret giving up what then seemed like "stability" for a road of uncertainty.

One Year Ago
2004 - Me me me!!! Started knitted again, took painting and drawing courses, travelled to Sydney/Beijing/Toronto, plotted to move back to Canada after spending 7+ years in HK. Could it be the seven years itch?
