Hello! My name's Irene and I'm 21 years old. I'm Chinese, born in Canada.
I've just finished my second year at the University of Guelph studying Nutritional and Nutraceutical Science. I'm not totally sure what I want to do when I finish school but I hope I figure it all out real soon:)
I have lots of hobbies including cooking, baking, crafts, reading and
Chinese painting. You can see some of my paintings if you follow the
link from my main page. I took an art class last semester and it was
really interesting. I posted up a painting and a print that I did in
class. I'm also gonna take up oil painting this summer.
I've been working on a quilt since summer started...it's slow going right now
'cause i've been too busy to work on it...i'll get a digital picture up soon
so you can see what i've been slaving away over for the past few weeks.
I'm also currently working on crocheting an afghan (big blanket made of yarn)...
it's coming along pretty well and should be done in a couple of weeks.
In addition to all my crafts, i've been training on a dragonboat
team...The Weiteh Golden Dragons. We raced in Pickering and at Centre Island
Our last race will be in Waterloo.
As for pets, I'm a HUGE animal lover. I'm allergic to cats and really fluffy dogs, but I love them so much so one day I'm gonna have a house full of animals :) Right now, I have 2 tanks of fish (which I'm not all that attached to), Jammy the very cute female long haired hamster, and the newest addition
to our family, a white female Wistar lab rat named Jodi who i
adopted from my lab this year. You can check out Jammy and Jodi
by following the link to my Furry Friends.
