About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find out the meaning of 42. =)

ABOUT ME

Currently, my life's forked. Into quite a few prongs, the way I see it. So it's all about figuring which one/ones to take. Frost's 'The Road Not Taken' comes to mind. =)

While indulging in chasing after the meaning of life, I hope to meet people from all over the world. Making new friendships, those that stretch across seas and continents, is one of life's pleasurable pursuits, no?

A short list - I like books, petrichor, Japan, jargon, languages, coffee, tea, theatre, kindness, soft sheets, fresh laundry and lists.

My guilty pleasure is trashy K-POP. =)

PHILOSOPHY

最多被骂而已。Just do it, nothing much to lose but your pride. =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungy jumped in NZ (I literally jumped as opposed to falling, so, my shirt went up[down, depending on perspective] and shrouded my vision).
Camel-rode across (a wee stretch of) the Sahara. Believe you me, not the pleasantest experience.
Got driven up mountains way above clouds in Morocco.
Spotted a rainbow above a fountain.
A dog sneezing.
