Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meet people, make new friends, and give those ones who need a tour in my home town- Taipei, Taiwan!
ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, I am now living in Brooklyn. I'm considerate, and sort of a low-key person, do crazy things sometimes though! I love to laugh, but I shed tears WAY too easily for any touching story, even it's from a cartoon or on Animal Planet! Hope being thus sentimental won't affect my mental health!(will it?!)
That's just a part of me, overall, I am easygoing, like to hang out with friends, and...a FOOD LOVER. If I have to choose, I prefer night markets over nightclubs! :D
PHILOSOPHY
Trial and error.
That's what my first supervisor in working life told me. He knew I was a thinker, and he said: Don't think too much, just do it and try everything. If it's not working, change your approach.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies-
I love the movies based on true stories, or tracked real life. The Pursuit of Happyness, The Blind Side, The Intouchables, these are some films I can see over and over again but still find it enjoyable. And animated films, a big fan of super CUTE MINIONS!!!
MUSIC-
It is oxygen and beyond just a sound to me. It spontaneously make you think of a specific period of time/place, and that special one(um..not José Mourinho!).
I LOVE HIP HOP/R&B, Funk/Soul, and Jazz the most.
Books-
Reading helps me get out of a confusing situation and always refreshes me. I tend to read spiritual books to clear up my mind.
"Most of what makes a book 'good' is that we are reading it at the right moment for us." - Alain de Botton
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Dumbo: view with the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan in background! That's the only place I keep coming back outside of Taiwan.
Witnessed Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett receiving a warm welcome in return to the TD Garden in Boston.
Teach, Learn, Share
Never judge without knowing.
Quite a few years ago, I was lucky to meet my hip hop dance teacher, who gave me a lesson that formed my ultimate attitude toward things/people. He told his students: " since there are different street dance styles, you can't judge which one you like until you are an expert in that field. Dancing is about the process instead of the movements you see; get to know the essential of what you are doing, and really understand it, then you will find what your true feeling is."
