About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be a hero, just like john connor

ABOUT ME

i have a tendency to be random and engage in random conquests. i probably laugh too much for my own good. i can quite easily entertain myself with my daydreams. and i almost always get sleepy after i eat.

PHILOSOPHY

there's definitely more joy to be had in giving than taking

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS has really changed my view of travel, the world and my own country. It's such a great adventure, isn't it?

Interests

trying new foods,
a good conversation over good coffee,
being surprised,
playing football,
rollercoast-ing (if there's such a word),
lying on a hot beach with a cold beer,
paaaartying to the sounds of heart-thumping beats,
conquering my fears by staring them right in the eye,
indulging in vivid dreams

here's a quick coffeeshop-101 for people visiting Singapore and want to go local instead of having a Starbucks:

"kopi" = coffee with sweet milk
"kopi-o" = black coffee
"kopi-c" = coffee with milk
"teh" = tea with sweet milk
"teh-o" = tea (no milk)
"teh-c" = tea with milk
"(any one of the above drinks) bing" = the iced version of that drink
