About Me

CURRENT MISSION

expand the eye width by enhancing various experience

ABOUT ME

In day to day life, I can be ultra laid back, and allow things to flow and take their natural course. However, this does not mean I am so laid back that let an opportunity float past me.If necessary,I can definitely to be a risk- taker who is always up for a new adventure, never regret by missing our chance to blow.
In fact, my passion is what motivates me and its what has helped me gain everything I have yet wanted to achieve both on a personal and professional level. My upcoming 3-5 years goals are getting PHD degree and in-charge my first "a million up budget" project, second one quite a long term process and may need some luck to achieve. I give myself persistence to make it happens, rather than wait for it happens. My friends say that I am ambitious, but personally I think that's an understatement. My drive is relentless, and once I set my mind on a goal, I give it everything I have. 4 years ago, I decided to change my profession, spent 80% of my saving and left the country I lived for long time (why didn't I earned more before;)), going all the way for further study, building up relevant network and re-create a new CV. Right now, I think it goes pretty well.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe everyone can have high quality. We have something very special about ourselves. We are curious about the world around us. We can take a joke and are not easily offended.
I like people with a wicked sense of humour, a great sense of humour is common, but when someone clicks with me by sharing a joke that other people might not always get, then that's a big turn on (especially for counter gender.
Loser is not the one who always fails, but the one who never tries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

my friend refers as she knows I am a travelers and like to meet people with common interest

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One funny story:
I surfed at student sharehouse living 1 guy and 3 girls. They asked me to show how I'm "special" or "gifted". I think they're jealous :)
We made a competition: surely I won. I counted to 10, or 20 with my shoes off, and even to 22 in the shower.

Interests

Martial arts has to be one of my favourite things. The first few months are a real test of willpower, but after that, it becomes easier and more fulfilling.
I also enjoy spending my weekends with my friends,after a wild night out, its always followed by a well deserved Sunday brunch,BBQ/group cooking afterward, We are somehow compete to show our cooking skill there. It is precious and we have a lot of laugh.I usually could award as the most "diversifying cuisine", as I have a rule that I would learn at least one dish when I stay or visit a new country.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies lover for various cultural background productions.
I like dark comedy genre. It's so down to earth. I have only written one story relative to such genre as it is damn hard. That's why I think Tarantino is a genius. My sense of humour is not necessarily good, in fact its very cynical and either you get or you don't. I believe humour is the answer to a lot of problems. Having the ability to laugh at a potentially serious situation can make things a whole lot better.Whenever something goes wrong, before I make amends to fix it, I take the time to laugh about it first.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Met ghost by my E.S.P. ( will you be suspected about it? Actually it's kind of haunting stuff, I am Stephen King 2nd ;)
Done: Other high risk activities such as buggy jump, skydiving, snowboarding have been done. Should look for more advance levels on them

Teach, Learn, Share

Film studies/making, storytelling, life coaching.
I organize private film club at home theater or to cinema, as I consider my self a fully fledged movie critic- so I love to lead such activity with friends, followed up by a late night meal where we get to share our often contrasting views on the movie.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, China, France, Hungary, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Italy, Malta, New Zealand, Sweden
