About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be interesting

ABOUT ME

We both love to cook, travel, and jog.

Chiayee
Ok some random stuff :Cheerful, chatty, overall a simple person.

Atheist. I of course respect others' religion, but I do not enjoy missionary conversations. NEVER persuade me into believing in your God. That's right: no preaching in my house. Thank you! :)

Love to meet and talk to people from different background.

Enjoy good company and food, though I am not a night owl nor party animal.

I slept while watching Lord of the Ring 2 & 3.

When I grow up, I want to be a football referee.

Hate durian and marzipan with passion

Fan of Lord of the Ring

If that's not enough, please read the reference :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't live your life by expectations of others.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
