Here’s a brief taste of Aina’s personality:
WHAT IS USUALLY PLAYING IN YOUR HEADPHONES?
If you open my Spotify account, you will find Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow, and Nat King Cole’s playlist in my top picks. Their voices are amazing, and their songs are timeless to me.
When I have a lot in my mind, I will usually play worship songs. It really helps me to calm down and remove all the worries I have.
WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?
When I was a kid, I remember I liked to pretend that I was a doctor. That was my dream job ever since. I spent time learning Biology and watching medical dramas because of this dream. But the funny thing is, I hate hospitals, especially injections. So I guess that made my dream impossible.
WHAT ARE YOU HAPPIEST DOING, WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING?
If I am not working, you will find me playing with my brother’s dog, Shoyu. Shoyu is a mini long-haired dachshund. I really believe Shoyu thinks I am his owner. I love teaching him tricks like playing dead and waving. Shoyu can even solve simple math equations. (Ask me for videos.)
I also enjoy going to grocery stores if I don’t have to work. I usually go there even if I don’t have anything planned to buy. I always end up buying something, though.
WHAT IS YOUR HIDDEN TALENT?
I know how to play the piano (that’s not really a hidden talent). I also know how to play a bit of guitar, bamboo flute, kalimba, and ukulele. I only know the basics, and I can hardly read a piano sheet.
WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVOURITE QUOTES?
“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” – Walt Disney
