关于我

CURRENT MISSION

to know what the next step is.... and take it!

ABOUT ME

I'm curious. I want to know why people do what they do... why I do what I do. I want to know how things work. What looks good. Why does it look good? I like to engage with new/experimental work whether that's music or art or business... though I don't experiment myself as much as I could.

PHILOSOPHY

SEPARATE THE ISSUES.
(helps in SO many aspects of life)
(note I do recognise that many things are intertwined and may even be inseparable... but most are separable)

Think positive, but don't delude yourself or others.
Imagining the worst case scenario can help you deal with challenging situations and continue to make positive steps rather than feel like things are going against you.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm spreading the word of the CouchSurfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First couch surfing experience was great! Thanks Michal and family. So far that's my only surf, but met nice people in Beijing, Cochin, Melaka, Kuala Lumpur (great group meeting) and looking forward to the next fascinating people engaged in this wonderful site!

兴趣

Music - it powers my soul.
Beauty - it powers my soul almost as much as music.
(that is MY perspective on what is beautiful, not the homogenised comercialised beauty staring at you from magazine covers)
Art - big overlap with the above two.
Ideas
Learning
Football

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Organise the start of this overland year of travel I have embarked upon! It was EPIC!

(I did also see things roll backwards uphill... and the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the Hayword gallery London UK in 1998 was an amazing experience of art)

SEPARATE THE ISSUES.
We can discuss this more when I surf your couch!
