I'm a branding and marketing consultant with an engineering background. How I got here is a story I don't mind telling. =)

Now that I can actually host, here's the overriding philosophy I adopted with CS. It has served me well, it should do the same for you as well:

Beggars cannot be choosers.

Obviously, this does not excuse violations of boundaries of any sort. But many among us somehow take for granted that whatever flew with one host should apply to everyone else as well. So here's what it means:

1) You do not get to make demands, only requests. Adopt the appropriate tone.
2) You are subject to my schedule. If you have hosted me before, then I will bend over backwards for you. If not, well.
3) Should I detect any mal-intent on your part, implied or not, I will take the appropriate actions. This goes without saying and I expect the same treatment from you as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I write poetry. My main inspirations are people who made an impression on me. If I do write one about you, I normally make a handwritten copy for you to keep. Sometimes, this copy is the original.

Some of the things I can teach:

- How to get more people to buy into you

- Malaysian Chinese culture

- 2 easy steps on how to dance, if you can't or don't

- How to make the most awesome braised lamb shank

- A saddened citizen's love story with Malaysia
