Question from Isma Swastiningrum: Of all your passions, which will you do until you are old and why?

Q-Man's answer:

If you are a loyal reader of my blog, you must know that I am deeply passionate about three things: English, dinosaurs, and Jay Chou. (the description on my Blogger profile also very clearly shows this) My life has revolved around this trio for ages and they account for a huge chunk of my existence on this planet: I teach (and learn) English for a living, I read lots of dinosaur books (both fiction and nonfiction), and I listen to (and sing) Jay Chou's songs all the time. These three are an extricable part of my life. I have loved English for about as long as I have been fascinated with dinosaurs. The two interests influence each other in a beautiful way: learning English enhances my knowledge and understanding of dinosaurs as many great dinosaurian learning materials are delivered in the language, while consuming them inevitably increases my English proficiency as I get exposed to more vocabulary and become more aware of the grammatical patterns and behavior of the language. As for Jay Chou, it is how I reach nirvana: his music so magically melodious that simply no words can describe its sheer beauty. I think I have no reason not to devote myself to all of them until my death.
