More of Andie

Thanks to bleeding espresso I decided to write more about myself. She listed 100 things to know about her and shared it with others. What a wonderful idea. It would be nice to know bloggers better, it would also make the blogs more enjoyable to read.

So, here they come … 50 things to know about me, or less – I might not make it to 100, so wont even try :

1. I am a chinese girl who lives in Medan
2. I am 31 years old
3. Will try my best to age gracefully
