Hey guys, this is Alan :)

Born and raised in Hong Kong for 28 years. Always fond of the uniqueness and culture mix of this wonderful city. After a day of exhausting work, I usually go to cinema or go for a walk along the stunning seashore. Life is so versatile here. But making a living here is also stressful. That's why going on a solo trip every year is crucial to me. I just need to cleanse my mind.

Foe the weekend, I enjoy cooking at home but my skills remain amateur for years~ If the week is tiring, I rather hit the road to run across some random restaurant for takeaway and enjoy it with movie at home. Sushi, thai food and steak are my favorites, and I will turn to street food if no preference. Recently I’m practicing my steak cooking skills (I'm a meat lover). It's not a cheap habit (for me) but I enjoyed it a lot! haha~

Not a fan of partying but enjoy gathering of small group of friends a lot. I'm also intolerant to alcohol (so jealous on those crazy drinkers). It is a must to have a moment of solitude and silence at deep night, when I can listen to music before bed. I like hitting the gym before 8 when no people is there. Still, I like trying new things and meeting new people during travel. It's far more interesting than roaming around tourist spots. I’m talkative with my friends, hope you will be one of mine :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many music genres but R&B, Joe Hisaishi and Hans Zimmer are always ear-catching :)
I prefer movies which have lots of sparks between characters like Back to the Future, Roman Holiday, Whan Harry Met Sally, The Martian, Whiplash, Chicago, Eddie the Eagle, Ocean's Eleven. Welcome to see horror film with me if you like :)
