Todd: So you and your sister, are you similar or quite different?

Shuan: Oh, we are definely quite different.

Todd: How so?

Shuan: I was the rebelious type. I pretty much laid the foundation for my sister to get all the freedoms that she has, and she doesn't appreciate any of the things I've done so,.. another way that we're different is that she's really into arts and drawing and painting and making music where as I'm more into the technical side of things, like I'm into computer making, fixing cars.

Todd: So it sounds like your quite different. Well, maybe she'll listen to this and she'll appreciate you more.

Shuan: I hope so.
