Hi! I'm pursuing a full-time undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore.

I grew up in a conservative Asian family, so I would say I am pretty polite, respectful, and hygienic. I can be quite reserved and socially awkward when I meet new people for the first time... Not very good at small talk i'm afraid. But I love listening to people tell their stories.

My 3 most important core values are Family, Freedom, and Commitment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a student on a budget. Nuff said.

Interests

Ultimate frisbee, exploring the outdoors, trying out new food, travelling to new places, trying out new activities...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I joined and completed a full marathon when I turned 18.

Sounds glorious but I was actually dying because 18yo me grossly underestimated the difficulty level. I wasn't even close to being ready for a marathon. Despite the inadequate training and preparation, I persevered and completed it. Pride, I suppose. Of course I paid a price - in the form of ITBFS (a condition that causes knee pain). It was my first ever major sporting injury and it really shook me up and showed me the importance of training consistently and progressively.
