One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It has to be my recent trip to the land down under! The company was great. The 12 apostles were spectacular. I won't deny pondering more than once, if i should move to australia in the future. Made friends from belgium, poland and australia, during the amazing 9 days. It was one hell of a trip. I would do it again in a heartbeat :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach/Share:
I am willing to be the guide to anyone who's enthusiastic to learn more about Singapore. I'm good with directions, so getting around should be a breeze.
I play badminton, basketball; kayak and cycle. So if you like sports, you can count on me to teach you a thing or two.
Owing to Singapore's bilingual education, I can teach you Chinese (华语!). Not to mention that I mainly speak Chinese at home.

Learn:
I love to learn about the world out there. I've read quite extensively about the history and culture of many places, but I would love to hear it first-hand.
Also, it will be totally cool, if you could share with me your passions, your aspirations, your career. Yes, i could totally do with some career-counselling :P
