Four things people would be surprised to know about you:
1. Music is my hobby
“I love the flute and that is my hobby. I love to blow it and I do so whenever I get a chance.”
2. Hiking allows me to appreciate God’s creation
“I love to hike. I went to Blue Mountain three times. Just being out there and hiking in the open air, gives me a sense of freedom and allows me to appreciate God’s creation.”
3. I use the expression of children to judge myself
“I love children, and a lot of people don’t realise. I find that they (children) are very, very sincere in their expressions. If they don’t like you, it’s for a reason, so I use them to judge myself.”
4. I believe in looking dapper
“I love fine dressing. At our church we have to wear gowns all the time and at work we wear uniforms, so people don’t usually see me dressed up until I am going to social events. I also love to watch a fine dressed woman. I like tailor-made suits, I don’t like custom-made.”
