About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work, life, fun balance!

ABOUT ME

PR professional, in the senior management of a casino resort in Macau.
Former lifestyle magazine editor and travel TV show writer. A nit owl. Love casual cozy bars,where no exhibitors,where I can be silly giggle with friends, talk while sipping wine. Have knowledge of highclass lifestyle but enjoy Bohemian's better.
I prefer a smart conversation than bar surffing,a creative sparkle can make me excited allday.
Traveled mostly Asia, southern Europe. Love beach vacation combined with a great culture & adventure.Planning a trip to Japan for 10days.

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to self & the world,do what i really want to,and be happy with it.
Freedom is in the heart.To achieve it in everyday by following my heart, stick with what I believe,not distracted by the world's value/standard.
Happiness is in the heart.I can be poor but happy, as long as im living the way of my choice,with someone i share my laughters & tears with.
