Music, Movies, and Books

-Books
I started to read (I mean, to really read and understand a book) one year ago. So I don’t have a long list of favorite books. Any book that trigger us to think is a great one. It can be about business, culture, life... Anything nourish me with knowledge are wonderful.

-Music
I love post-rock and instrumental music. Actually, I don't limit myself to certain style of music.
Here's some of my favorite bands:
Soft Error, La Femme, Doodle, Sunset Rollercoaster, Smoke in half note, No Party for Cao Dong, The Cure, SuperOrganism, Ryuichi Sakamoto...
It's really broad!

-Movie
Movies are weed of my life.
Xavier Dolan, Wes Anderson, Yorgos Lanthimos, Kitano Takeshi, Edward Yang, Wong Kar-Wai... a lot a lot...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Study in Hong Kong.
Sometimes I questioned myself about this decision I made four years ago, as the whole concept of pursuing degree doesn't make any sense to my, or any human being's life. I still manage to finish the studies anyways and yes, it took a lot of efforts, especially mentally.
However, the days and nights when I dealt with my self-doubt and self-denial make me who I am today.
Leave my country and enter a whole new world is definitely the best decision I made in my life.
