About Me

I'm a Malaysian student studying in Ireland, and I want to make the best out of my time here in Europe. I enjoy sightseeing, exploring and observing how people interact with each other and their surroundings. I try to engage myself with people as much as possible, but I'm still working in my people skills, so help me out here! I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone more to grow as an individual.

I'm generally a very easy going and flexible person (or so I'm told). Talk to me about everything and anything. If I do not have knowledge on that subject, be assured that I'm your best listener and I'll be passing your wisdom to someone else down the road!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people from the countries that I'm travelling to and learn more about their histories and culture . Plus, after listening to so many awesome stories from close CSers, I want to be a part of this amazing community too!

Interests

I'm very easily sidetracked, so my interests changes every now and then. I'm very keen on learning to play the guitar, but I'm still struggling with the chords because of short Asian fingers :') 'Food is our common ground, It is an universal experience'. I'm convinced that nothing brings people closer than food does. Get me into a discussion about food, it's going to be difficult to stop me. I'm very interested in exploring new cities, wandering around cities thinking why they are are shaped in a certain way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have terrible music playlist, mainly because i can hardly remember the names of songs, bands or even singers. I'm into mellow music these days, though I really like intense gaming BGMs when I work as it gives me this motivation to work faster.
I prefer watching movies over series, especially biographical ones. The Theory of Everything and Hacksaw Ridge have always been my personal favorites. Love movies with beautiful visual elements.
As for books, I mainly read fictitious books, but I'm trying to read more on self development.
