One of my goals in life is to pull out people on their comfort zone and give them challenges they could not even imagine.

Traveling has been my go-to-avenue to de-stress. Printing my airline ticket gives me an excitement that I'm always closer to my ultimate destination; local or foreign. It's amazing how travel gets you connected to a diversity of people - for me, it is also one way of binding yourself together thru love no matter your color, race and beliefs you may have in life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:

I listen to Aqualung & Keane when I wanted to look back to those good old days. Grew up from a family listening to The Beatles; I always love their The Long and Unwinding Road song.

Movie:

Chungking Express by Wong Kar-Wai is my favorite, I always recommend it to someone especially when they have plans of visiting Hong Kong. It's a juicy slice of happiness, loss, heartbreak and anything in between.

**trivia: personally visited Chungking Mansion in HK last year 2015.

Tulpan by Sergey Dvort is also a must-see; shot in the beautiful steppes of Kazakhstan. Wishes one day I could travel to that place if time and money weren't an issue.

Books:

The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes

I love this book so much, worth sharing and re-reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fell in love

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - wishes one day I could teach the kids uphill (to any destination), always fascinated to volunteer and share the best of my knowledge.

Learn - If there is one thing that I have been wanting to learn, probably how to eat spicy food; a trip to South Korea for an authentic kimchee would be fun, soon!

Share - I want to share my stories. I want to be open. I want to hear other stories too.
