About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go out there without expectations , just go and see for yourself

ABOUT ME

Well I`m a adventurers person who loves the outdoors. I guess being from South Africa we have advantage of being amongst or close to the animals close to home. Well I love Safari`s and visiting scenic places. My favourite place which I love visiting is Cape Town and well I`m someone who loves the water and sport so when I`m down in the Cape be sure to look for me on the beach.

PHILOSOPHY

I see life as a constant choice. A simple yes or a no...choose to or refuse to and so on. I guess you can choose to smile today or you can choose to be miserable and mad at the world. So what will it be? The choice is yours.

Interests

Well like many guys I love sport. Especially soccer as I`m a Man United Support....ok many will boo me because of this. I love cricket as well and I enjoy swiming. I think travelling is something that I really love and SE Asia is definitely top of my list when it comes to my interest.

My new found hobby is photography. I had a camera and I was always taking photo`s...ok just average photo`s. Until I descided to buy my 1st DSLR and bought me a good tutorial dvd and got lots of help from people on Multiply on how best to take photo`s. Lets just say I`m experiment with my camera at present but really loving it. I have posted photo`s on Multiply so if you wanna have a look you welcome to go to http://mrcokes.multiply.com

Music, Movies, and Books

Well I like a variety of music. I like Rnb , Hip Hop , House and whole lot of other stuff.

As for books , I`m not really big into reading novels but I do read magazines of interest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always wanted to see the twin towers in Kuala Lumpur and well it was one of my goals in which I`m happy to say I`ve done.

Well one of the things that I so much want to do was swim with penguins. Well we have a whole beach full of them here in South Africa so well I could`nt resist.

Coming from a country where we don`t have any volcanic mountains. When I went to Indonesia I visited so many volcanic mountains but the best was still when I visited mount Bromo. It took me a long time to get to Mount Penanjekan which is highest peak over looking Mount Bromo and 12 other volcanic mountains. Getting up really early and watching the sun rise over these mountains was really spectacular. Sitting there in the freezing cold and seeing how far the clouds was below you was just a awesome experience. To put the Cherry on the cake mount Semeru was puff clouds off ash. This was an experience I`ll never forget and a place I hope to return to in my life time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I`m keen on Learning Bahasa Indonesia and Malay. So far I self learnt myself alot of things from Learning software I bought and I also learnt alot from good friends of mine from Indonesia. I`m not doing to bad but I do hope I can get to conversational level oneday. I guess I know the basics which really helped me alot especially when I was in Indonesia.

I work in IT so if you have any problems with your home pc or something else of that sort I don`t mind trying to assist hahaha
