About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world. Make new friends.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Singaporean and travelling is something I enjoy a lot! I hope to travel to as many places as possible and see the world. I'm also a big foodie so i love to eat good food!Like most people in the CS community, I love to meet new people and make new friends. Its great finding a community that shares the same passion as me. There are so many places to go and CS really opened my eyes to these possibilities. Items on my "bucket list" These keep me going as I have something to look forward to!-I want to see the Northern Lights-I want to watch a purple sunset!-I want to travel for food. Some items on the list is Kobe beef and El Bulli!(can't make it to El Bulli anymore though)

PHILOSOPHY

Seeking simplicity in life's complexity=)

Alan Watts
"Life is not a problem to be solved, nor a question to be answered. Life is a mystery to be experienced."

Seneca
"As a tale, so is life; not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters"

Oh Siew May
"Life is like a mountain. Some days are tougher and some days are easier. All we need to do is keep moving and we will make it to our destination."

姜明
“既不得到,谈何放下,既已得到,又如何放下”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spain-Camino de Santiago.
I did a month long walk of 900km to the end of the world. The friends I made, and the experience I got from this was absolutely amazing. I felt like the boy from The Alchemist.
Wrote an article that was published in the singapore press! check it out!

Switzerland-Did an expedition and trekked some of the glaciers there. Sights were breathtaking.

Laos- We got onto a vegetable truck that is heading towards Wat Phu. The driver told us that there will be transportation back. When we arrived he asked for 4x the price we were quoted. After refusing to pay, we were left stranded in that area without any transportation back. Fortunately we managed to hitch a ride from a tour bus back to the city!
