About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is unborn. Let us therefore live one day at a time. TODAY

ABOUT ME

Nothing much to tell about me except that i enjoy having people around and having a good laugh with them, i like easy going people that are not scared to give it a go that goes from trying one of my many Mauritian spicy and Australian dishes i would do any thing for any one as long as i am not taken for granted and that you appreciate my time and effort. I am very easy going and like to have a tidy place. I do not worry much about tomorrow. ( Tomorrow never comes) I love CS because it helps me to broaden my knowledge from your experiences and to be tolerant of others.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others like you would want to be treated yourself. "Respect life!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drinking Champagne in a hot air balloon at a very high altitude the day before my dayghter's wedding, wow that was quite an experience!scary to start with but fun, and yes i would do it again.
Spending the week end in Paris under the Eiffel Tower with other CS, sleeping under the stars and watching the Tower lights amazing thank you to 888 project.
