About Me

Hi CS, I'm a Malaysian who spent 6 years in Taipei, Taiwan for studies and a year in Japan for student exchange. I was living in Auckland, New Zealand for Working Holiday. I had done road trip in both north and south island of NZ, and West Europe in December 2016. Participated Choir contest in Barcelona, Summer 2017, and solo trip to Prague after the competition. When I came home, I found that My qualification obtained in Taiwan was useless in Malaysia due to "specific" issues( which I will tell you more). Which means I have failed to become a school teacher in my own home land, that’s why I am a full time home tutor now, more specifically, Mandarin language tutor at the moment. Okay, so I have finally back to Malaysia again. Can't offer to host at the moment, since i'm living with my parents and family, but I'm always available for meet up and guide you in my town: Klang (Which would take 45 minutes from KL central) and will definitely bring you to my favorite food if you visited to Klang. So, feel free to ask if you need help in Malaysia, especially in Klang.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have an excellence couchsurfing experience while backpacking in India, that was an amazing experience for the trip. Also, my host in Fiji, she helped me a lot too.

However, I'm still travelling at the moment so I can't offer a couch, but if you are here in Klang, Malaysia. please do send me msg. I would love to show you around.

I hope i will very soon settle everything down, and start to host ppl from the world.

Interests

well, i like to talk to ppl. There's so much to share and learn from others. Also i find more useful information from experience of others.

Of course I love n enjoy food very much! I have big tummy and mega huge bump. Which is very sexy for Pacific Islanders (according to my Samoan n Tuvaluan friends), but very unpopular in Asia, where I was born. Hahaha, it's ironic I know!

Music, Movies, and Books

Ooh, I never like reading. Doesn't mean I hate to do so, it's just I ended up with sleeping after reading.

Movies, all kinds. Not commercial one!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

35days of backpacking in India and volunteer in the House of Mother Terresa for a week to take care of AIDS patients and children.

I have never hike before in my life, and My first hiking happened to be a 10hours mountain hike in Tongariro, NZ. Of course I'm almost dying, but it changed me a better person.

Fiji scuba diving, sharks diving: OMG ~ scary yet exciting. Even when I'm typing this, I still can feel the tense. Hahaha

Done Amsterdam, Belgium, Paris, Barcelona and Madrid in December 2016. N caught in an eye infection during new year 2017, went to the hospital alone. Oh, sounds pity not amazing. The amazing part could be I take care of myself in the hospital all alone. Ooh, that's sounds even more worse. Lol

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a choir member since 13years old. But I dunno why I am still out of tone every time when performing on the stage or during practice. Kinda confused me as well. But I never stop singing, for me, singing is one of the beautiful things in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I can share my backpacking experience in India and Southeast Asia, a lot of incredible stories to tell.
Also, I have done my working holiday in New Zealand, love to share too if you like.
I can cook malaysian food n seafood chowder n of course many Chinese dishes if you dare to eat my cooking.
