My favourite local dish: My favourite local dish is carrot cake because I like the taste and the texture, like mochi.

If I was not an athlete, I would like to be... An architect.

One interesting fact that most people do not know about me is... A lizard fell on my head during training while I was doing kicks.

Any other pre-competition routines that you practice besides warm up? I always watch a movie while getting ready for comps to calm myself down.

What is the greatest challenge you have faced in your sporting career? How did you overcome that? I lost interest in RG in p5 because my old coach stopped coaching me. My mum told me that I shouldn't let my years of effort go to waste and to continue train hard and not give up so easily.
