– What ís your idea of a perfect day?
A well-rested, stress-free morning starts with blue sky, a swim and a cheerful smile, ending with nice dinner, a giggle and a goodnight kiss.
– If you could go back in time to any event in history, what would it be?
I don’t want to go back to any time, moving forward sounds more appealing to me. If I had to, I would probably go back to holding that hot chocolate under a sky full of Aurora on the Norwegian ice field. It really was magical. But then I would like to think that I could go back again to the future.
– Whatís your favourite book?
Perfectly Yourself by Matthew Kelly. Most of my books are from the learning/self-help category. There’s a children book called Beautiful Oops which I kept getting for friends’ children.
– And your favorite artist?
Wassily Kandinsky.
– Who is your hero?
My grandpa.
– What can always cheer you up when you having a bad day?
A kiss and a hug from a loved one, and a glass of good red wine.
– Whatís your worst habit?
Losing track of time in my own little world.
– If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
My style of breakfast – fresh/frozen fruits mixed with all sorts of healthy seeds and honey. Or Shepherd’s pie with Yorkshire pudding.
– If you could travel to any place on earth, where would you go?
Very hard to pick just one place. I would love to travel all around the world. Maybe Iceland next.
– If you could retire tomorrow what would you do?
Travel and visit friends across oceans, hike, cook, paint, decorate my home.
– Whatís your favourite season or festival?
Autumn is definitely my favourite season, and I love a heart-warming joyful Christmas.
– Whatís your favourite place in Macau?
Coloane. If we’re talking about restaurants, probably Miramar,
8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana and a couple of other private kitchens in town.
