Overview
About Me
I am a language lover and wishes to be fluent in many languages. My native tongue is Malay and English is my second language. I learnt Arabic since kindergarten but am rusty in speaking than 15 years ago (I was better in high school lol). I'm learning Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, French in my leisure time. I do find Portuguese very beautiful. I like the nuances and the sound it makes.
Travelling come a bit late in my life. It is not until I was 26 years old that I have a chance to go abroad and I found it very exhilarating. At that time I was with family and friends. After that I went with some group of friends to various places; it was not that many but I'm learning a lot. My first solo trip was in 2017 and yes, I'm still new and have a lot to learn. My secret mission is to visit to all countries around the world, that's so cliche ahah.
I have a background in Biomedical Science and Biotechnology, and I'm fond of herbal medicine, alternative remedies and nature healing. I wanted to try yoga but still having excuses to start one. I hope I will find someone to ignite that passion back ahah ;) I also love graphic design, I hope the skill is still intact ahah ;p
I have softspot for histories. Well, could say I'm a bit nerd. I enjoyed listening to local lores and legends.
I'm a spicy food fanatics, authentic local food...and basically food.
Introverted extrovert, books and tea lover, appreciate nature and sceneries.
Secret crush of libraries and bookstores.
Enjoy meeting new people and learning cultures.
