CURRENT MISSION

Complete my Ph.D. and get a stable job in academics.

ABOUT ME

I am a Ph.D. student in Sports Sciences, and completed an M.Sc. on Mathematics, while still having another M.Sc. on Computer Animation and Game Technologies. This fact alone tells a lot about me: I tend to go wherever the wind takes me.

I am currently planning (more like daydreaming) to go on a motorcycle trip. Maybe Greece, or Romania, or Ukraine. I haven't decided yet.

I am a people person, in some way: while traveling, I prefer to walk on a street full of people pursuing their daily chores, and observe their culture, instead of visiting a static building, claiming "it is culture". I get bored very easily at static places, and I love watching people. Those being said, I'm not quite talkative either. But I love to listen.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to learn, learn to live.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: mostly independent, preferably satirical or political eg. Ce jour-là, Tengoku to jigoku, Bloody Sunday and numerous shorts.

Music: possibly experimental, instrumental-heavy music with rather complex rythms eg. Xploding Plastix, Amon Amarth, Eluveitie

Books: books that really tell something, not just "word arts". I want to learn, want my thought to be provoked. eg. One Day in My Life (of Bobby Sands), Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Ecology of the Automobile
