ABOUT ME

Hi there, I'm Yui and I had been working in Malaysia for about 2 years until recently. I'm originally from Japan, studied in US as an exchange student, and ended up in Malaysia in 2011. Now I'm heading to the new destination: Brussels!!

The best word to describe me would be: spontaneous!
I'm pretty much going with the flow always, but somehow it works out always. Guess I'm more like a street-smart type.

I started using CS when I was in US in 2009, had great experiences and hosts, but haven't used this platform since I started working. Been to a CS gathering in KL once though.

PHILOSOPHY

To be positive in any situation.
There must be always things you can learn from what you failed to do.
If you can think like that, there will be no failure or regrets in your life!
