Yoyoing is fun, and yoyoing builds friendship.

In 2010, I met Ahmad Karisma at the Asia Pacific Yo-Yo Championship. We love yoyoing and traveling, which is why we became good friends.

In November, he had a short transit in Hong Kong, and after bringing him to Yum Cha, we had a brief interview about yoyoing.

There are so many points of view where we are similar, and sometimes I am really touched by that.

Yoyo competitions can be quite brutal, but remember why we started yoyoing. Let’s have fun and enjoy it! 🙂
