About Me

A warm welcome from George Town, Penang.

Born and raised in the beautiful island of Penang, I am a typical Penangite who enjoys all the great food Penang has to offer. However, my goal is to become a vegetarian someday, not to kill another life to fill up my stomach and i believe all animals have equal living rights as humans.

I work at Fun FUNd Manufacturer for a living, this tells I need to keep raising Fund for a fun life and help more animals. Im very much agreed with these philosophy.

A ship is safe in harbor but that is not ships are for.

Use your brains and to follow your hearts - Georgi Lazanov, the author of the teaching method 'suggestropedic'

As for my passion in life, Im in love with anything to do with creativity because creating fullfills me. I do a lot of fund raising to help neutering and saving the street dogs and cats with medical support, rehoming them to a good home or my home. My love for art and architecture led me to get involved in restoring, preserving, and renovating old buildings. I enjoy travelling and making quality friends from all over the world as I take pleasure in learning about different cultures. I enjoy conversation about phsycology, philosophy, life and love.

I am also an avid collector of antique furniture. Whenever I come across a piece of abandoned old furniture, I will bring it back and restore it to its former glory. A little effort is all it takes.
