About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never Being Boring!

ABOUT ME

What makes a person become less interesting?

Comfort zone + routine.

So I tried to stay from being boring and bored by meeting new people and do new things as much as I can :)

Being a Buddhist in this Moslem country is a challenge! and I drink and eat pork :P

PHILOSOPHY

Suffer What There Is To Suffer, Enjoy What There Is To Enjoy.
