CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Having grown up in the Little Red Dot aka Singapore, I have always wanted to travel the world so that I can experience foreign cultures and meet people with different perspectives. I have worked as an English teacher in Singapore for five years and am embarking on a new journey in Kumamoto, Japan as an Assistant Language Teacher come September 2011.

I appear shy at first but after I'm all warmed up, beware of my wacky sense of humour and shameless self-disposition!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being addressed as Mr Heng, Wang Lao Shi, Ajarn Le and Kaile Sensei (different forms of address for teachers in Singapore, China, Thailand/Laos and Japan)

This just happened recently. I lost my house key but luckily for me, I had a spare key at home. So in order to get back into my house, I knocked on my neighbour's door and asked if I could return to my house via his balcony. Thankfully, he agreed and so, I laid my body on the railing and crawled over to my balcony. Like a boss. With scant regard of falling off and killing myself in the process.
