Simple yet satisfying.

Live life to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I help promote one of the most beautiful places in the world; Singapore! The Fried Rice Paradise!

Kindly read through 'My Home' details before sending in your requests as mine is quite a unique situation. Sadly,I do not get hosting opportunities because of what I mention but I do hope travellers will give me a chance as I do miss hosting and chatting with people sometimes. At least give me the opportunity to meet up with you. I am quite disappointed with couchsurfing because people usually send couchsurfing request but as soon as you mention your challenges, you do not receive any response,not even for a simple chat/meetup for a meal. Sadly, I do not even get request for meetups after reading through my profile. I promise that you will have a wonderful time. I have lived in Singapore all my life and know touristy and non touristy spots(including the beautiful Pulau Ubin,which offers a glimpse into how life was like in Singapore back in the 60s/70s/80s!).

Interests

Trying out new stuff(in almost any sense), watching movies at the cinema, nature treks.I am an animal lover. And of course,upgrading my skills in personal development.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pop music, mostly oldies(60s,70s, 80s pop).Michael Jackson,Abba,Stevie Wonder,The Beatles etc.

I enjoy reading self improvement books. I enjoy learning from the experts in the different fields and applying their techniques to my everyday life and to also teach these techniques in my own education/training/therapy business that I have been running for the past fourteen years.

I have a 'seasonal' preference for the types of movies. Sometimes I prefer comedies while other times I prefer thriller/suspense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looking after my lovely nephew and niece over a few years! Wonderful,lots of fun and laughter!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love it and be so grateful and thankful if you could kindly make me some French Toast(preferably with wholemeal bread) and/or green/red bean soup. But if you are unable to do so,it is no problem at all,no obligations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Personal development techniques as I have more than 17 years experience in this field. I am able to help people using various therapies. For physical therapy(acupressure,sports massage and foot and hand reflexology) and for my mental wellbeing portion(cognitive behaviour therapy,journaling,pet therapy etc). I am currently conducting group therapy on anger management and overcoming phobias and addictions.

If you feel happy with my hosting/sharing/bringing you around,I will be extremely grateful and thankful if you could kindly make me some French Toast(preferably with wholemeal bread) and/or green/red bean soup. But if you are unable to do so,it is no problem at all,no obligations.

Countries I’ve Visited
