About Me

2017 update:

Life has caught up with loads of events, I am staying with my parents and future wife, therefore NOT hosting at this moment.

I would definitely love to meet up with other hosts and guests in Singapore and along my travels.

ABOUT ME

Commonly asked questions:

1, Q: is there a spare key for the guest?
A: no

2, Q: what about the daily activities?
A: on weekdays, after breakfast i will leave for work around 8am. guests are required to leave with me. I usually finish work at 6pm. we could hang out in the city for dinner/sightseeing. while you are in the flat, please RESPECT and INTERACT with other residents. a large part of how far i could host depends on them. if the guests keep annoying/irratating the residents, it will be bad. Over the weekend, I may be required to work at home. I will try my best to show you around.

Singapore has its reputation on happening night life, but it is not for me. it is fine that my guests enjoy them, but DON"T return drunk/drugged/soiled/with strangers. and please don't return after midnight. there are plenty of hotels near the pubs/bars and they are cheap comparing how much you spend on alcohol.

3, Q: how many nights could i stay?
A: let's say 2 and we could figure out the rest along the way. if we click, time is not a problem.

4, Q: are you gay?
A: no, i am not.

5, Q: there are 4 of us, can you host us?
A: the flat is new, i just moved in and haven't hosted large group before. I would say, let's try out with small group and when the other residents get used to the idea of hosting, we will have larger group.

6, Q: should i bring a gift to you
A: yes, please, I would love to receive something from your country/last city you were in.

7, Q: is the mobile sim card expensive there?
A: no they are cheap, around S$20 for the prepaid card. and please get hold of one while you are here.

well shoot your question to me, let the list grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 24 hours in forest Camporells at Perpignan. It's my first time trekking 2500m in altitude and first night in camp.

Lovely landscape and unforgetful freezing night up in the mountain.

I thought i was going to lose my toes.
