About Me

I'm 21.

In this transitory phase of life, I want to experience as much as I can (and I think people my age always are battling for this against time).

I won't say I'm a fun seeker, or a thrill seeker- but I love to try new things, talk to people.

Going to matriculate into Yale-Nus next year for Liberal Arts, I live to learn :)

My Daily Routines (these are blocks of time that frequently circulate themselves)
Drumming
Writing Poetry/ Lyrics
Sleeping (of course!)
Drinking
Friends

and

Randomness!!!! (a great variety of things that I love to put in my life)
e.g. Frisbee/ Journalism (half work/half fun, in my honest opinion)/ Rock Climbing/ anything!!

Note: I cannot accept a lot of guests every year, this is due that I'm currently still not living in my own place; it's my parent's place (it's Singapore). They're ok with couchsurfers, as long as it is not too frequent! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I intend to explore the world through other people's lenses vicariously.

I'll love to live someone else's life be it for a day or a week, just to experience what fun stuff they do, what boring stuff they do.

On top of that, it'll be great to meet people which can impact me on profound ways- possibly through doing charity, visiting local hangouts, a piece of history that I would never find on my own journeys!

On the other hand, I'll love to show people my life- what's great about Singapore. It's really hard to get around Singapore (contrary to expecations) and find local hangouts- and I'm really going to help you get the most different experience ever ;)

I want to experience the world in a way that is special to you, and to no one else;)

Interests

Drumming/ Jamming
Music (any types/genres, really)
Photography (I've recently picked it up!- I'll be bringing my Canon 60d, EF 35mm F2 on my trips!)
Mixing Music (not DJing, more of creating music tracks and making them sound good :))
Philosophy/ Politics/ Economics (Because they're always so convoluted it's fun to mix them up)
Reading/ Writing Poetry
Drinking Tea :)))))
Bartending/ Drinking (they come together, all the time)
Frisbeee!!! But sports in general, to some extent.
People watching! (it's fun... i guess)
Board Games (any, I love the complexity)

Music, Movies, and Books

Local Singaporean Bands (Cashew Chemists, Pleasantry, Stopgap, etc)
Snarky Puppy!
Shugo Tokumaru
Royal Blood
Mutual Benefit

+

many other old timers (Led Zep, Queen, etc....ask me!) :)

"You/We are the universe experiencing itself" - If you agree, tell me why! If you disagree, do tell me why too! And guess if I'm a proponent of it

I do books too, but I think the list of authors frequently changes, so it's very pointless to update.

Currently obsessed with:
Angela Carter
Vladmir Nabokov

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

--

not filling this up. it's hard to ascertain what is really amazing, after all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll love to learn to be kind, to be hospitable, to be accepting.

I'll share what I know about life, and music (especially).

I'm pretty sure I can't teach anything (other than drumming!) but that to me is more of just sharing :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm extremely open minded (as I would like to think I am, at least)

I can offer my truth (I promise I won't lie/ boast when I'm talking to you :))

I can offer my legs (they're very sturdy! i love to walk for hours to end)

but really nothing much, I think it's more of you to take the risk and accept me! :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, China, England, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, South Korea, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Japan, Singapore, Viet Nam
