Hi there! I'm Hong from Kota Bharu, Malaysia. Currently I'm a fresh medical graduate, to be employed by Health Ministry of Malaysia. I'm a very open person and you can talk to me about anything :) When I was in high school I was able to go for student exchange in Japan and Italy, and it was where I started to love to meet new people and embrace new culture! Also, if you have a puppy I already like you :P (Yes, all dogs are puppiess, I don't believe they ever grow up!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and friends! Also if you know how to cook.. Please cook for me your local cuisine! I really love trying new kinds of food (I could cook for you my cuisine too :)

If I'm home in Kota Bharu, Malaysia, I won't be able to host but I can bring you around in Kota Bharu ;)

Interests

I really love going to concerts! The feeling of getting lost in the music with people while dancing and going crazy is the best :D

I'm also a self proclaimed karaoke pro. Please bear with my singing. It's either decent or really bad. And I love playing ultimate frisbee! Pick ups any CSers?

Music, Movies, and Books

Bastille, florence and the machine, lana del rey and the xx are my favs! I also listen to generic pop stuffs on the radio. Kpop too haha :P New obsession - LIZZO! And if you are into pop/r&b, please give a try to my hometown girl - Yuna, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Movies- no specific genres in particular, I generally enjoy all kinds of movie; my fav movie for this year would be Into the Spider-verse. That movie was awesome as hell.

If tv series count I really love Grey's Anatomy. Shona Rimes is a genius writer and the series always hits you unexpectedly. People say many good actors have left the show (especially Christina) but the real star of the show is Shonda. Also check out her new series How To Get Away With Murder (which is very good too!). I'm also watch some anime series (one piece, fairy tail, and some seasonal ones).

Also really into The Good Place, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Fleabag, Santa Clarita Diet.. comedy gold

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped a lady I met in a bus in Kyoto with her groceries till her house, and cooked a meal with her in her home, and had a really great dinner with her family! Always bring a smile to my face whenever I think about this :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Malay, Chinese (Mandarin) and lil bit of Japanese :)

I would love to learn other languages! My aim for now is to learn 1-10 in many languages!

If you will not be grossed out by my medical school stories I would more than happy to share them! Late nights at the hospital, bloody autopsies.. :P (actually there are normal not weird funny moments that I could share lol)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of fun and witty sarcastic jokes (warning they are lame as hell or has been used too often haha)

Also did I mention I come bearing gifts (food if you prefer :P) from my last destination.

And I cook! Healthy or really yummy fried food, your choice!
