About Me

"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.” - The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

CURRENT MISSION

Looking to receive creative impulses and inspirations from any objects and aspects in the surroundings. Exploring the new regions of my very own map built with the fragments of my soul.

ABOUT ME

A mild introvert who doesn't really read much, but see every single individual as a living library; I love experiencing and listening to stories from other people, in any extent and context.

Enjoying the diversity of experiences; Adore the rationality of Science, Loves all the emotional attachments created from arts, Fond of the aesthetic visual values of graphic design, Cherish the body temperature that stays in crafted objects, and more.

Always proud of being a Penangite. It allows me to learn how to respect and appreciate the mixture of culture and traditions from each races and religions. And yet it provides me the chance to learn and use several languages such as English, Chinese Mandarin, Malay and other dialects, Hokkien and Cantonese.

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is changed by our maps of the world. The way that we choose — sort of, our personal cartographic enterprise, also shapes the map of our lives, and that in turn shapes our lives." - John Green.
