About Me

I grew up in a Malaysia, the country multicultures background has trained me well in communicating with people from different places with different background.
I like to talk a lot, because talking benefits the understanding between two individuals.
I am currently a full time professional travel filmmaker and film director, running my own production company in KL.

I always wants to experience something different, I am kinda sick of being the same as everyone in the city.

I can talk fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese and English.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I never host before, since the house I living in now is not my own property, permission is not on me.
I think I want to use couchsurfing as a bridge to let me to connect with different people in the world.
There are so much more to learn from everyone, so much more stories to hear. Although I talk a lot, but I also can be a very good listener when it comes to interesting stories.

I don't see couchsurfing as a "free place to sleep" , I want to understand the life of the host and the things happening around, so I would like to help out a lot, like buying groceries for the host, help to clean, help to deliver. I think that will be very cool.

Interests

I am proud to say my work is my hobby.
I make videos and photos for a living and taking them is my passion.
I love the sea and marine life. I am also a PADI certified scuba diver.
For casual sports, I love cycling, especially around the city, because Malaysia is a very hot country, I can't do that very often, so I hope I can do that in some cooler places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to film scores a lot, and also older songs, because I don't really enjoy listening to pop music nowadays.
My favourite band is Of Monster And Men from Iceland, and M83.

I like the HongKong Director Wong Kar Wai, his film tells a very details side of humans. I also like Christopher Nolan.

My favourite Movie is Cloud Atlas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My work allows me to do a lot of amazing stuffs but my favourite one will be hiking up a volcano in the middle of the night to see the Milky Way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think sharing is a mutual teach and learn process. I love to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my time, helping some simple task. I can share my stories. As a filmmaker, I have confidence in story-telling. :) also I can share my thoughts and idea, from politics, religions, science, tech, economy, I think if I can talk with a host about these topics, I can learn a lot about the place I visit.

Also, if you need a nice profile picture, I can take it for you for free.
