She likes:
1. Washing clothes
2. Fetching my sister to and from Musashi-Koganei Station
3. Looking after her family
4. Sleeping on the heated floor
5. Sleeping on the chair in a sitting position
6. Sleeping in general

She is:
1. a Saint who can tolerate me, my father and my sister behaving badly
2. good at befriending with my paternal Grandfather.
3. is a good (enough) cook as far as I am concerned. I really like her cooking, especially Tatsuta-age of pork, Kara-age of chicken, Hayashi-rice, although I'm not quite sure whether I agree with her Fried-rice recipe.
4. good at relieving my father's stress because she is a good listener

She doesn't like:
1. Cleaning the house
2. Being scolded by my father about her cooking

She was:
1. a proud young lady at University and used to hate playboys, notably my father
2. good at mathematics, but somehow chose to read Japanese Literature at Keio: my scientific brain, no doubt, came from her
3. a banker before getting married, hence good at dealing with money
