CURRENT MISSION

To finish my PhD research. To travel around the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple, open minded person, living in a not-so-simple life. Happy go lucky type of person and enjoying life to the fullest! An avid traveler and a social butterfly. 😜 Love adventure, like to sing n dance on the podium, amateur scuba diver, jungle trekker, mountain climber, nature and cat lover. Proud of my Johor heritage.

Life is too short for drama! So don't start an episode with me ya 😀. I don't smoke, drink (alcohol) or do drugs. I try to live a healthy life, but not a health freak.

PHILOSOPHY

I have nothing against the world and hopefully the world has nothing against me. I trust my life to God The Almighty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted many couch surfers at my house and surf other people's couch in Xi'an, Saigon, Hanoi, Solo, Bandung, Manila, Athens, Milan and Jaipur. All are wonderful experience.

Interests

I'm an architect by training and qualification but dable in a lot of stuff other than architecture. Stocks and shares. Training and coaching. Guest lecturing at local Universities. I'm now working on a free lance basis. I don’t have a lot of time to travel now.
