About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To bring love and happiness to the world and to stop the littering.

ABOUT ME

Hmm, well I'm just the kinda person whom, what you see is what you get, I love learning about new things and anything that may teach me to be a better person.**I also like to speak in cliches** I think the world's too big to just sit around in one place not explore it, and time is too short to just be unhappy. I love being active whether its climbing trees, hiking, jogging in the rain or trying to swim, but reading is the ultimate. Although I can't scan read, and have a tendency to fall asleep after reading for 30 minutes, acquiring knowledge is da Bomb.

PHILOSOPHY

This universe is huge and we should do whatever we can to explore every minute detail in every second that we have. Lend a hand - thats the motto I learnt from Brownies, and do aspire to help those around me whenever its needed.

walking up Uluru was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn to cook, and maybe how to scan read. I would also like to know how to roll my R's, so I can purr like a kitten. Hmm, I can help out language-wise if you want to practise any English/Chinese skills, or if you need to translate anything.
