CURRENT MISSION

Preparing for a hopeful PhD program

ABOUT ME

I am a Singaporean Chinese. About 1.74 metres tall, 64kg light. I am generally a mild person, and love to see harmony and order in all things. I was an Economics undergrad, but also have experiences in Geography and Sociology. Am learning programming (Python) online.

For leisure, I love to read and watch American sitcoms (Friends, HIMYM, Big Bang theory). I had a childhood Japanese Anime/Manga phase that has died down somewhat, but not completely.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about collecting bits of different and interesting memories.

There is no one size fits all. Everyone is entitled to their rights and views, on the premise that it doesn't negative affect others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
