Overview
About Me
Hi guys, About me, I would tell you my stories.
I was born in a small and poor village. I have 6 siblings and I am the youngest. My family always expect me to become someone that's why I've always been trying my best to be smart student, good child then my parents can be grateful for me.
I went to university 8 years ago, and at that time, it is quite hard time for me to start out an independent life. My major was auditting and I worked for a big-four company after graduation. I worked there for nearly 3 years before making a breakthrough decision to move to The Philippines. My family objected but as an adventurer, I kept my opinion and went there for nearly 3 months. And now I am still happy with my decision. There are various unforgettable memories with nice friends from Malaysia, Thai Lan, Korea and The Philippines as well. I adapted quickly to new workplace, apart from working at office, I wandered at local market, joined dance class. I used to be obsessed by the rich - poor gap in Makati - Metro Manila. There are numerous high-rise building around my condo and people use bus or just walk, there is no motobike, there is a big park named Triangle Garden in the centre with light music at the Chrismas, the price is prohibitively high. Everything is kind of magnificent, gorgeous and colourful. But if you go beyond that area just about 5 kilometters, that's day I went to a local market at an inner-city slum. I saw some homeless elder and children sitting on the street. I reckoned that we need to do something. The government need to support them.
And now I'm living in Ha Noi. I work for a foreign (Kor) company as an internal auditor and accountant. I realise the difference in the employer's behaviors with local staff and exparts even we donate equally. I've been wondering why they treat people from different nations in different way, why there is still such a wealthy inequality. I really wanna do something.....
And I hope I get chances working in many developed as well as underdeveloped countries in the long run to do something help the poor.
I am really into dancing, travelling, volunteering.
