I born in Malaysia, a state called Pahang. Inside Pahang, it is a small town called 'Raub'. Decades ago, this is a place bless with peace, surrounded by green nature and famous of scarce resource - gold. Locals here earn their living through jobs like gold collector, rubber collector, fruit planter, small businesses and public sector works.

Back to describes myself,I like to spend time privately to read, watch movies and listen music. Especially those books / movies / music related to reality and connected to human being. For example,
Any film directed by Christopher Nolan, Alfred Hitchcock, Baz Luhrmann etc Any book written by Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Camus, Haruki Murakami, Milan Kundera, Jiang xun etc.
Any music played by The Beatles, Bob Dylan, U2, Coldplay, Foo fighter, Billy Joel etc

Through above activities, I am able to connect to different culture. Steven Spielberg said music is a universal language. However, I think not only music, all form of art should position as universal language too!

Another hobby of mine is sport. Since young, I addicted to play football and jogging. Occasionally, I will play basketball too. However, due to work, I have run out of time, thus, I switch to any sport that I can do it by myself, such as jogging, swimming, yoga and gym. Recently, I am interested to learn scuba diving and free diving.

As a short summary, part of me like to stay alienate to reserve for my hobbies and part of me like to social with different kind of people to know more about their life experience and culture. I am always curious on how culture differences would affect people mindset & faith in life. So that's why I am here in CS!

Lastly, wish CS surfers able to fulfill their life satisfaction & amplify their life to the fullness.
