About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get around Europe and learn of its culture, history and beers

ABOUT ME

I love beers, or more precisely beers with friends. I love chatting and sharing experience, and I love to listen to others' story.

I'm a rather passive and slow-heating up person. So, I might appears to be shy and less words on the beginning, but when we are friends, we can talk about anything ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Something happened to my friend in this year, makes me realize that life is just too short for us to worry about the past and the future. So, I would rather cherish the philosophy of living the moment.

It is easy to accept this idea if you understand that, you do not own a time machine, so you can't change the things that happened in the past, and you can't predict or foresee the future. Plus, it is the present that determine the future, therefore just live the moment, my mates!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Originally it was my girlfriend who notice this CS thingy. I love the idea and this is a great website to get to know people from around the world.

CS provide a great platform to meet friends and to actually live like a local in other culture and country, rather than being a tourist.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed:
London - Kelvin and Ging for two weeks

Hosted:
2 pairs of Poland ladies in two occasions back in 2011.
1 pair of cute couples who are from Ireland and from Brazil.
A pair of lads studying arts.

Interests

- Strange and unique stuff
- Beers,but not alcoholic interest, just as a bonding time with friends ;)
- Creative innovative ideas and invention
- Engineering ideas, cause I'm an engineering student
- Gaming (Dota and some puzzle games on phone) however, stopped because have less mates in UK (I'm from Malaysia)
- Reading books (James Patterson's)
- Reading comics (but not anime, simply because comics have no fillers and it has more flexibility than anime)
