About Me

I am 36 this year... but I act like a 26!!! hahaha...

Friends feels that I am really fun to be with, friendly, always smiling and laughing . I am talkative most of the time however I can be really quiet at times. I love to share my stories with others. I am a open minded person looking forward to learn new things.

I don't really party and drink. (I used to be a party animal and a crazy drinker). But I don't mind a beer at a quiet relaxing bar exchanging our life stories.

I hate Veggies! Dun ask me to eat veggies! Dun nag me if I refuse!

I love photography. You can see the pictures I took at the profile photos.

I can play the piano (I learned piano since I was 5 until Grade 6). as for now I could only remember how to play Fur Elise, Ballade Pour Adeline (half).. haha.. I can also play a bit of guitar. Still in learning progress. :)

I am lost in life as of now and I am looking forward to do something different like backpacking and meet more people and listen to their live experiences to open up my horizons and find what I really want in life.

I am a smoker. However, I will respect your couch conditions. If your home is non smoking, I will not smoke in your home! I promise I will only smoke OUTSIDE YOUR PERIMETERS! :) DO NOT TRY asking me to stop smoking! I know it's caring,... hahaha... I will when it's the time! :p

One last and very very very very IMPORTANT thing you have to know;
I FREAK OUT WITH SNAKES!!! Be it real or fake, on National Geography Documentary or a picture in the Magazines, whatever you can think of... I WILL FREAK OUT!!! Seriously..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people around the world. I love to share the culture and the beautiful places in my country with people I meet. I enjoy bringing people around.

I am planning for my first backpacking trip in Asia and would really love to meet backpackers from around the world

I love giving warm hugs to friends when we meet and say goodbye... so please warn me in advance if your culture or religion etc does not allow that!!! :) Else I will give you a friendly hug! .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to more than 90 waterfalls in Malaysia with 200+ trips over 5 years!

I have been involved in Environmental Non Profit Organization. Cleaning up rubbish in waterfalls camping sites. Spreading Anti-Littering message around Malaysia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am still learning photography. I am not good in Portraits and streets photography. Landscape is not too bad. So please let me learn some photography skills from you if you are a photographer. :)

I love to plan trips, so if you are coming to Malaysia, let me know. I can share with you the itineraries I have made for Malaysia that you can use for a guideline.

I would love to learn how to play the guitar better. I know the basics only as for now.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook nice Chinese dishes. I can cook for you if you want a Chinese Dinner at anytime during my stay.

I can also take pictures for you if you go around with me. I love photography. But don't complain if it sucks as I am still in learning progress :p

I have visited almost 100 waterfalls in my country. Ask me anything about waterfalls in my country. I can share with you everything I know!
