About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study and play!

ABOUT ME

I'm an introvert by preference, and I enjoy hanging out in small groups for the more intense interaction! :P A strong supporter of ecotourism, my favourite playground is nature itself. I love to visit mountains, rivers, caves and soak under starlight on my travels. But in sunny Singapore, my main hobby and sport is rockclimbing!

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, cos everyone is fighting a tough battle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am eager to meet new people and share with them a very local slice of Singapore life when they visit. I promise to share the best food treats I know, and take you places tourists don't usually go! ;) As well, I am keen to immerse into local cultures when I travel overseas. =)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I grew up listening especially to Chinese songs, and I most love Jackie Cheung and William Soh's singing! I enjoy English pop as well, but I best like them sentimental.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pioneered the startup of my college's rockclimbing club, seen the view from atop Mount Kinabalu, swung off a tree vine into a deep pool at Luang Prabang (Tarzan style!), and started producing antibodies against a lethal human disease...

Teach, Learn, Share

A lesson from a local guide in Cambodia: Support the locals and buy their food. Don't just bring in food etc from outside which only generates more thrash for them to clean.
