About Me

Hey:p, I am 20 years old and currently serving my national service in the military. Before I head over to Law school, I want to travel widely and experience the diversity of our spectacular world:). In my spare time, I read voraciously about politics and current affairs so I'd be interested to exchange views and perspectives.
In my younger days, I used to be an urban explorer and climbed roofs and buildings. When I was in US and UK two years back, I sat down with some homeless people for an hour to chat about life. The diversity of experience impells me to venture further. In the younger days, go out and have fun, learn, and lead an exciting life that you will remeber. Carpe Diem.

These days, I am into writing and I enjoy reading a nice novel in a good cafe with or listen to stories and revel in nice company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have chaired a conference in Orlando filled with phDs

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been tutoring O Level and A Level English, Math and Sciences for a year. Also, I have given some motivational talks in local schools to inspire local children from non-elite backgrounds to overcome their odds and seek their great perhaps.
As of now, I’ve been trying to learn French. So I’ll try to converse in French with the host if possible.
