About Me

I play the drums, cajon, guitar, piano, bagpipes, and saxophone.

Spent around 11 years traveling and working as a wedding presidential photographer before becoming a digital marketing consultant for real estate agencies & non-profits.

I'm on a journey of rediscovery, so I'm all about stories, connections, and those off-the-beaten-track experiences.

I loves potatoes, beaches, sipping tea, cracking jokes, organizing BBQs, inviting friends over, hitting the sack early, dreaming big, having wanderlust, rocking different shoes, collecting slippers, embarking on outdoor adventures, cherishing family moments, disliking spiders, devouring noodles, enjoying wine, geeking out over tech, appreciating art, and laughing till it hurts.

Nature is my jam. Game nights are my thing (Singaporean Dream rocks). Traffic jams make me cringe, but audiobooks keep me sane

Sometimes I daydream about Lord of the Rings being real, then I remember the orcs and take that back. I find solace when I'm close to nature and rivers. When I unwind, it's with long walks, music, home improvements, late-night grocery runs, and watching adults make silly faces to make my niece and nephew smile. Babies have a way of bringing out our inner child.

I find joy in capturing intimate moments through photos. A sun flare peeking through a couple at sunset can melt my heart.

You might catch me holding back tears during wedding ceremonies, but I'll totally deny it.

I often feel a strong connection with ex-prison inmates, beggars, the homeless, the blind, and outcasts. I believe that anyone broken can find love and restoration through Jesus. I tend to give away a lot, cope by fixing up my parents' house, and enjoy late-night grocery shopping. I'm a true Singaporean, loving all kinds of weather, and always exploring new places with a smile.

Great stories and unique experiences are my jam. In my free time, you might find me jamming on the drums, guitar, piano, saxophone, or belting out tunes in a short elevator ride (or the shower) and acting like nothing happened when I step out.

Recently ended a 13-year relationship and on a self-discovery journey, taking things slow.

I'm up for museum visits, checking out hospitals and prisons, having real heart-to-heart talks, going for night walks, embarking on travel adventures, catching musicals, enjoying beach picnics, cycling, stargazing, or having coffee shop dates.

Speaking of interesting experiences...

I have regular lunches with my blind friend, who has a unique perspective on things.

I've been to Tibet during riots and Ukraine during the Crimea war, both amazing countries.

I even survived a bomb blast that destroyed a building...

And there are many more stories to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteer regularly with about 40-50 ex-offenders, their stories and zest for life reminds me that everyone deserves second chances.

Hiked into the middle of a pitch black forest in Munich for an underground music festival! Totally blown away!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always up to teach the little bit of guitar, piano, drums & photography tips and tricks as well as my Singaporean culture =)

If you don't mind bits and pieces of chinese and Indonesian, you might be in for a good laugh.

Share a jug of beer, chat through the night, or walk for hours just revisiting the city, not forgetting about the language, food and culture!

I'm an introvert but not shy.
