Personal insights

Aileen loves working with her hands and enjoys handicraft work — from ceramics and woodcraft to both Chinese and Western brush calligraphy.

Another of her hobbies is photography, with a special interest in capturing sunrises, sunsets, travel moments, abstract designs, and interesting architecture.

In her free time, Aileen can often be found spending time with her children or catching up with friends over a cup of coffee.

A hidden skill of hers is baking — she makes a mean batch of brownies, with family, friends, and colleagues claiming they’re even better than those from some well-known commercial shops. On top of that, Aileen is also a trained (amateur) barista.
