Well. First thing that I'll tell you is that I love food. Look at me and you'd probably know! I also love adventure and I might not seem like it but I do like trekking and anything outdoors. Being confined to a life of office work and mediocrity would be my undoing therefore making that my worst fear.

I'm also a lover of telling stories and hearing them too. From anyone. May it be mediocre or amazing tell me a story and I'll appreciate you even more.

I'm a freelance photographer focusing on portraits, landscapes and events. You can see my flickr here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/89155044@N08/
Yes I know. Its all black and white. I really haven't been using the site that much because of how Yahoo annoys me.

I'm a proud Kadazan boy from the state of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo. I love it and so should you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : Mostly rock, jazz or blues. But I'm open to everything unless it sounds like shit.

Movies: Definitely anything by Quintin Tarantino. Movies by We Anderson are also favorites of mine.

Books: I don't really have that much experience on books. One of my favorites is East of Eden by John Steinbeck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trek the jungle of Long Pasia for 11 days while I was volunteering with Raleigh International. Being a big guy it was a big challenge for me especially on the 3rd day when it was all uphill. Probably 1 whole kilometer uphill.

With the constant motivation of my fellow trekkers, the help of the amazing guide, the care of the team medic and the huge annoyance of leeches(I have so many battle scars) I made it. I made the whole trek alive in one peace.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : If you're up for it, a bit of powerlifting? Maybe some amatuer photography or filming? How to cook some Malaysian dishes? Malay?

Learn: Teach me anything. Maybe even something that I know. I'd love to take any opportunity to learn!

Share: Stories. So many stories.
