About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Watch all my favourite Wong Kar Wai movies without any subtitles

ABOUT ME

I love cooking, messing up the kitchen and would jump at any chance to cook and show some love.

What better way to know a culture than through what its people eat?

Travelling is all about plunging into the unknown, stepping out of your comfort zone and experiencing novelty. Plans are nice but spontaneity is even better.

Right now, my work is based on anything video or photography related. I run a little company and started out with wedding videos, but right now I am exploring more with small corporate videos and documentaries.

My friends and I did a little documentary in Bangladesh last year about Bangladeshi migrants in Singapore, you can have a look here http://vimeo.com/55829998

PHILOSOPHY

I hope to live, not exist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did CS proper on my Mexico and US trip and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Interests

I am an avid foodie and bargain hunter!

I am not good at math but I subscribe to the following mathematical formulation:
good food + good music + good company = lethal combination

The places I love best are those where you don't need shoes.

Am recently choosing biking as a viable means of commuting. Unfortunately, the motorists in Singapore have the general perception that cyclists are little ants asking to be mowed over. I have since stopped biking...which is very regrettable.

I like watching films and sometimes I love to hang out on shoots and assist in any way I can. Just finished a trailer for a short film I did.

I would love to eat my way around a town, check out the local independent arts scene, see what people are doing in keeping a town alive and interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. I took a month off when I was 19 to backpack across SEA. It opened a whole new world to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will offer to cook!

I love learning and wrecking languages.

Can somebody teach me how to do a handstand?
