About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be successful in everything i do!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm quite adventurous, outgoing, fun loving and easy going, love 2 live a simple n uncomplicated life!! My philosophy is generally.......work hard, play hard!! I enjoy lots of outdoor activities n sports, like 2 party moderately, but mostly like 2 network, meet people and exchange ideas or stories....n most of the best stories are told over beers n coffee sometimes!!

I love 2 travel, explore and learn about different cultures and traditions across the world. For places i haven't been to or at least on my to do list, i do the exploring by reading and researching such places/cities/countries.

Every now and then, I like to cook........mostly fusion cuisine........try to be creative and try things from different parts of the world.

I'm looking to visit as many places as i can to have some crazy fun n learn about the diverse cultures (and perhaps beers and wines and anything else to discover), people round the world and explore and enjoy the beauty of this awesome planet "earth".

PHILOSOPHY

If u want the best things in life..... u've got 2 go out there 2 get them!!
And of course.....work hard....... play hard!!!!
Life is what u make it, u want it 2 b easy, then keep things simple n u've got an easygoing life!!!

We're never out of choices and the choices we make........end up making us what or who we are!!! And of course, changing our lives 4 good or otherwise!!!!
