Interests

- Travelling (usually solo) but open to suggestions! With friends or acquaitances!

- Music is a part of my life. I grew up with musics by Spice Girls, Nsync, BSB and other rising stars that time as these were influences from my siblings. But I am Taylor Swift's number one fan, I think.

- Trekking. I am not an athletic but at least this is another thing I can do the best besides volleyball and tennis (just before I broke my dominant arm)

- Running (15KM, needs to improve. I really want to join trail challenges)

- A fan of adrenaline rush!

- Baking! (Just getting there)
