I always prepare Chinese soup at home. There are varieties of Chinese soup we can prepare. Chicken soup; potato, tomato and beef soup; and fish soup as well.

I usually have muffin, cake or cookies with tea or coffee. I particularly like Starbuck's Latte and their blueberry muffin. I think that is a great match.

I cannot eat too spicy food. Not even moderate. I just enjoy slightly spicy food. My favorite spicy food is eggplant with minced pork and pepper.

I used to play volleyball and badminton at school. But I love to watch soccer games. I find volleyball matches are enjoyable to watch as well.

Yes, we can still have lemonade in winter. But I do not particularly like lemonade. I prefer tomato juice and apple juice. I usually have ginger tea for winter.
