About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the point of tears

ABOUT ME

I'm a tree-hugger! love to get lost and just immerse in nature.

I enjoy watching movies. I would visit the cinema almost every fortnight.

I've made some short films too. They are either pretentious or ridiculous haha.

PHILOSOPHY

Just do it.

Be kind when possible. It's always possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got caught in a very bad storm once when I was kayaking with my friends out at sea. We got drifted way out of the planned route and almost went into Indonesia waters. One hell of an experience!
