About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live small, dream big.

ABOUT ME

I think I'm quite a boring person who don't fancy party, pub, disco, night life, drugs and gossips.

Reading is my favorite pastime, jogging becomes my daily ritual practices on every evening. To see the sun set and rise or gaze at the stars in dark night can make me smile from heart. The idea of spending time in the nature, either camping or trekking is simply thrilling.

I may walk fast, but I live my life in a slow pace. If you find me quiet, that's because I'm listening, I think I've grown quieter these years, I consider this is my sign of aging:p

I'm curious of many things in life, what happened before had became what it is now, and many times by knowing the past would softened one's heart and makes one cherishes for the present. What is most important is to let go, though, I'm still learning.

Yeah, there're many things that I like to learn-- I like to learn Spanish so one day I would not have problem travel in Latin America; learn some Yoga, I really like to touch my head one day using my own feet;and, to speak less and listen more; learn to accept life as it is; to have faith, and don't give up easily.

PHILOSOPHY

Burn the temple down so you can see the sky over you.
