About Me

My job is teaching English at a university. I used to study in UK for several years. My daughter and I enjoy traveling and meeting people. We went to wwoof as volunteers at organic farms in many countries in the past few summers. Both of us love animals and nature. We adopted a dog and a cat before and the community we live is beautiful and quiet near forests but still fairly convenient, with 10-minute shuttle bus ride to A8 MRT station.

I am a people person who likes to cook, listen to music, love gardening, yoga, cooking and share thoughts with others from all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Forrest Gump is one of my favorites for its in-depth discussion of the value of the society as well as the humorous approach to interpret difficult time people went through.
