ABOUT ME
I'm looking forward to starting travel and exploring, since I have hardly done that.
I'm currently studying postgrad in university, therefore am pretty busy. But I would love to hang out and show people around.
I am writing in my free time and my blog is at http://janyuen.wordpress.com/ Apart from this I volunteer in charities by playing music and performing. My music performances can be seen at http://www.facebook.com/janyuenofficial
If you see that I have a long list of languages, is that I tried to learn many. Beginner means I went for classes but forgot a lot of it.. Oops..
I also tried to learn Italian, Japanese, sign language, Polish. But I can't really converse! Sorry
PHILOSOPHY
I have a few, ok many actually..
One on my mind right now is;
Be brave, and fight for humanity

Music, Movies, and Books
I like all sorts of movies (except crappy ones with poor storylines / poor acting)
I am very much into music as well and I tried to teach myself guitar (which I kinda gave up), ukulele (which I still play sometimes) and I'm learning piano (but taking a break because of my hectic schedule)
As for books, I like inspirational books, non-fiction, self help, magazines hehe. I read lots of Enid Blyton as a kid and Harry Potter as a teen (Enid Blyton is just magical in my opinion!)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climb more than a thousand steps to reach the top of Watthamsua temple in Krabi, Thailand. The view is like what u get from the airplane!!! I was the only one in my group who didn't puke :D
Teach, Learn, Share
Ummm.. what do I know? Lols..
I'm ever willing to learn, it's a great fun process!
As for things I can teach, I don't guarantee I'm the best teacher but I know some things about;
Linguistics (English is my main subject)
Ukulele (Hawaiian instrument :)
Makeup and skincare
aaaand a smattering of all kinds of other stuff
