ABOUT ME
Life is short...do as much as you can...
I had taken up a job posting here in various countries instead of living within the comfort zone back home in Singapore.
Hey, life's not exactly bad with this!...so much more relaxed! Hanging around and exploring different countries ...its a awesome experience.
Made in singapore, exported to Thailand(Mar 2006-Dec 2006), than Fijiï¼Feb 2007-Aug 2007),Nepal (Sept 2007-Feb 2008)and than Malaysia (Feb 2008 onwards)...on a journey to discover the world out there.
Next Stop in Feb 2008, Malaysia......
PHILOSOPHY
Living life to the fullest....to see the world as much as i can....Experiencing life in a different culture and setting is always a refreshing thing..and money can't buy this invaluable experience! U gotta go out there and live it, feel it and be part of it!
Sometimes it makes you wonder, why do we have to conform to uniformity back home? where you are being told to do what and you do something just because its the "correct" thing in the eyes of your peers, parents,teachers etc...The world is huge! Those who wanna impose/influence this conformity is just hasn't get out of wherever they are!yes?no? your call.....
Now its a world without border that cuts through all countries and cultures and we gotta learn and explore constantly so as to be a part of it!why be a frog in a well where the world is only as big as the opening of the well?? theres a whole new world out there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Taking part in CS!haha
Teach, Learn, Share
My most important lesson so far and most useful phrase i have found : ...Change is the only thing constant... Everyday, things changes, we must be able to adapt to changes instead of complaining and lamenting! whether in work,in school, in personal life, changes are happening everyday, learn how to deal with it, overcome it and turn it to your advantage!
