CURRENT MISSION

To understand Asian life, people, culture, history

ABOUT ME

I am an entrepreneur living in Kuala Lumpur. Recently, I re-discovered a passion for photography and now spend most of my time traveling around Malaysia and Asia capturing images.
I am passionate about science and discovery but my ultimate passion is (ancient) history.

Some of my pictures are here at Flickr

PHILOSOPHY

If you plan for a year, sow rice.
If you plan for a decade, plant trees.
If you plan for a lifetime, educate people.

A moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers
