About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel more!

ABOUT ME

Outgoing, friendly, cheerful, curious.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem - Seize the day and live everyday to its fullest! I'm an avid believer that there is ALWAYS more to life :)

To share a very good quote:
"Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

-The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fav book - Tuesdays with Morrie.

Any trance, rnb, techno, rock, nu metal, classical, ballet, oldies, 60s - damn, music is my thang. ;)

Not so much of a movie buff, but I love movies like Inception, The Island, Butterfly Effect, Resident Evil - anything that keeps the brain thinking and the mind active!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can't wait to strike this off on my Bucket List - SKYDIVING!

Open to suggestions as to the best place to skydive :P

Teach, Learn, Share

In Malaysia we master 3 different languages - English, Chinese and Malay. Fortunately I also speak a bit of Cantonese, Japanese and Korean (still learning!)

As much as I love food, I can't really cook. I can bake though and I can teach that :)

I also know a thing or two about banks, properties, share markets... But to many people these are boring stuff. :P

Would love to learn more about running various businesses in various locations! Learn more about different cultures in different parts of the world! Different experiences that brought people to different stages of their lives!
