About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel all around for different exposure and experiences... love challenges and not really afraid to try out new things... wants to volunteer overseas like Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) - www.msf.org, and believe that life is now...

ABOUT ME

I like SPORTS. (any sport is good, I am quite a good swimmer and I do jogging sometimes, I did some cycling to work in Switzerland while I stayed there for my job stint)

I had done a race in Hoi An village in Vietnam and some swim/run events occasionally.

I hope to meet like minded people, who can give me inspirations and check out unique things. Anything and whatever, I am open. But NO DRUGS please. thank you.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to learn new things, and also have people around me who can share the beauty of the things around us in the midst of their busy lifestyle.. =)
