Worked as Funds execution officer for a car company, an editor for travel magazine and a PR staff in printing industry. But not anymore, i'd just like to explore the world and meet awesome ppl like you as long as i can. ;)

+ i can cook Korean foods if you wanna try!

PHILOSOPHY

We look before and after,
And pine for what is not:
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

- 'To a Skylark' by Percy Bysshe Shelley
