About Me

I want to live in a world where a normal day would be a beer on the beach and calamari in the belly. When I am not in search of sleep, sanity, & the shire, I will be busy procrastinating on Facebook or reading. Malaysian at heart. Global in spirit.
I always busy in living because I never know when i will be dieing. I want to live my dreams. In the past, I have been living for someone else life and I feel I need to fulfill what has been lacking for myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS I love fantasy. I have an amazing ability to completely lose myself in whatever I am reading. Stephen Hawkings books are nice must mostly boring at the beginning of the chapter.
MUSIC I am NOT a Christian Music fan and I will not listen to anything I cannot understand due to the amount of screaming involved. I am generally not a huge rap fan either. I enjoy current jazz (Corinne Bailey Rae), Blues/Soul(Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Fiona Apple, Bill Withers) Alternative(Tori Amos, Flyleaf, Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Nickelback, ) Folk Rock (DMB, K's Choice, Blind Melon, Damien Rice, Jack's Mannequin) Classic Rock (bob marley, Pink Floyd, The Doors, CCR, etc.). I also like Opera and Musicals.

Movies, I like inspirational movie like Forrest Gump.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my Managerial position in the Bank without holding back. This is considered as a silly act for others because no one would ever want to let go their comfort zone after working so hard to get up there. Instead, I sold my investments and savings to open a concept store of my dreams. Now, i manage to travel the world and live my dreams with all the freedom i have.

Teach, Learn, Share

Never say never. Never believe in NO. Life is short so just live your dreams. Risk is not shorter than life. Risk has its name because its a probability of failure but its not failure. Half of it is called success. JUST believe and keep faith on what you are doing. Believe more in hardwork than luck because there is not much luck out there. Luck is just a motivation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Myself has been part of the LEO program back in my home country and I have hosted several Japanese and one Finnish in the past. LEO is a youth exchange program where our NGO organize host for foreigners and in return Malaysian will also be hosted by foreigners. I have the experienced being hosted in Japan and i would love to meet you. I hope we can also foster friendship between us when we meet. I always believe its fate to let us cross path with each other in our lifetime.
