About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know many different people from different cultures...it's all about networking!

ABOUT ME

Loves to learn something new, may it be cooking or learning a new language; a good listener, informative, jovial, fun to hang around, hard worker, loves most of music genres, loves to make new friends, a southpaw, a tifoso, active in sports; I can keep talking about football! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about risks, and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what the would have or could have had.

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to many genres, but I'm open to anything, as long as it is enjoyable.

Movies: I'm a movie maniac and I don't have any specific genre that i'm really into; what interests me most is the quality of the plot & editing.

Books: I have a somewhat a new habit of buying books and not reading them straightway..funny thing though once I start reading, I would be in the book!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one? I did more!

1. Malaysia
- Co-hosted 15 surfers (a little United Nations!) at one time for 2 weeks in a tiny comfy apartment.

2. Sri Lanka
- Did a family trip (backpacking style!) within 7 days through central & south Sri Lanka (Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Elai)

3. Philippines
- Short backpacking trip to Manila; went on a little hiking to Taal Volcano Lake, Tagaytay

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Malay language and the Malaysian culture & history to those who are really into it.

Even though I'm not an expert in guitar, I'm happy to teach them! :)

A freelance tour guide too! :P
