About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I travel, because I want to see the world and want to know more about "me"

ABOUT ME

Personality & talent
i am good at thinking psychologically or philosophically.
i like Chinese philosophy (though not really good at it), world history, different culture/sub culture,
local culture in comparsion to western culture. in short, i like social sciences.
i love reading, not like, i am a super book worm.
i like shopping for books, even more than shopping for clothes. (though i like new clothes)
i will buy books in England, but not "Howards", crazy, right?
i know if you want to know someone, if he gets a bookshelf, you can figure him out by merely taking a look of his "shelf".
sometimes, i do care about how people thinks about me, but now, i dont really care about that.
i do no harm, so i think i deserve to do what i like, not to live with others' expectation, but to follow the true voice from my heart.
i get one life, so i am a traveller, i has a road less travelled. so will do what i like if that does no harm.
i like reading, because i like learning, i put most of my time on absorbing all kinds of knowledge,
i like writing, coz i can record the knowledge i get in daily life and can express my thoughts.
i know how to adjust myself when i am not in a good mood, i play thaiboxing for 5 months now, that is harsh, but i do want physically trainning like this.
i go travel, see my western friends, wanting to get the first hand information of "their" world,
and compare "the world" i live, i find that life is of so many aspects / levels/ elements that
you can have so many alternatives. if you know more, you can adjust to have a better and unique life.
CHANGE & ACTION, is what i need this year.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a Christian, in past, i dont understand about the saying of God, i find it dull, but now, after i had my bad time of life, i know he is the one who can give me love and warm. so i trust him and will follow him.
