Wow imagine when you do see snow! Here we don't often get much snow either (here in the Netherlands). And if we do its the wet stuff that dissapears when it hit the ground, it doesn't last long..
I love music too, do you have favorite musicians?

HAHAH! I was hoping you say that! I'm gonna put Netherlands in my never ending list! :DD Well that's new. I never find out anything more than just here and near. Hee! Singapore's great, I mean the tourist attractions is awesome but I would love to see something natural, you know? I don't know how to even explain... HAHA. It's just pressurizing a little with the cost of living and the education. But overall, great too! Every thing has pros and cons. :D
Well, you pretty much said some of the musicians i had on my mind! Me too, awesome music can come from anyone! :D

3...."
Craft beers? as in specialty beers such as Duvel, Palm, Lambiek or Leffe? Sorry I only know Dutch and belgian beers.
Erica: it takes motivation to write, and you find that within; it takes courage to let others read what you write, and you get that through re-writing until the polished work is a gem you are proud to share with others. I have written more than 10 novels, but published my first only this year. Keep writing - you will get there!
1. I love to read! My favorite genres are paranormal, young adult and romance.2. I love to write stories!
3. I am not so fond of movies based on books.
4. My hobbies are singing and daydreaming.
5. I always end up making a fictional character my boyfriend inside my head. XD
Cher,I have a nook ebook reader, but can't get enough books on it, so I was thinking of getting a Kindle. You use a tablet? That may be a better alternative. (Thanks for the idea!) Is it an iPad, or another kind of tablet?
