ABOUT ME

Lol, another "about me" description.. I love backpacking. It's not just about the places to see for me.. I don't aim to finish seeing the world. and i dont rush to see everything when i go travelling. i take my time. alot of it is about the people i meet and learning about new cultures and customs. I want to experience life in a totally different way from the one i am living, doing things that i never get to do in my daily life and learning more about our beautiful world. These are the reasons why i am always on the move.

hmm, apart from that, i'm a very relaxed person who loves to have fun and enjoy what life has to offer.take a step back and watch the world go about its business.. ok..... i think that's all i am going to write... feels weird if i have to say things like 'i am a friendly guy.....i am funny ... blah blah....."

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a book, and those who do not travel only read one page.

"Orbis terrarum liber est, et illi qui non commeant modo unam paginam legunt" Saint Augustine

Nosce Te Ipsum - To know and learn about yourself

I believe in being a good person. Do good.

Discover the most beautiful places in the world, accidentally...

教，学，和分享

I always get these questions about Singapore, my home town:

-Where is Singapore?
-What languages are spoken there?
-Do you get jailed, caned, shot or fined for chewing gum in singapore?
-What are the things you get fined for in Singapore and how much?
-Why is gum banned?
-Why is Singapore so clean?

So... i will be very happy to share with you about this country where i grew up in, to answer any questions you have, to share with you what i know about asian culture, and to maybe give you a few more words to describe Singapore apart from "nice" and "clean".

I would also like to share with you the nicest, weirdest, and most memorable experiences i had during my travels, and to listen to yours as well :)
