About Me

CURRENT MISSION

eat, drink & find satisfaction in my toil

ABOUT ME

Decided to revive my CS account after two years!

I teach history in an arts school.

I enjoy long runs, shopping and weekend brunches with friends.

I love sashimi (Japanese raw fish), durian puffs and chicken rice (a popular local dish).

I'm trying to set aside time to experiment with cooking and baking.

I can pass off as a high school student at times.

I stay with my parents (yes, Asian-style) and can't really offer a couch. But I'll be more than happy to bring you around!

PHILOSOPHY

Make lemonade out of lemons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can bring you around Singapore if my schedule permits. I'll like to share our culture and food with you. I would love to teach you some Singlish too, it's the Singaporean colloquial English, which will probably sound pretty ridiculous to you. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in the US (San Francisco and DC) and in Europe (Athens and London). They were amazing experiences! I love the sharing of cultures that takes place in every CS experience!

Interests

Food, learning about cultures and practices, social history, reading lifestyle blogs, museums, exploring less known places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Jane Austen books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most recent one was in the Philippines when a new friend invited me to her home and her sweet grandmother prepared a dessert feast for me. What warmth and hospitality!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you Singlish, Mandarin, English and a little bit of Chinese dialects. :)
