About Me

CURRENT MISSION

| To see a boa constrictor digesting an elephant; and not a hat |

ABOUT ME

I want to be a nobody who means something only to a few handful of people while I live. To those people, I want to give the most of what I have and able to give. I like everything with green tea: green tea latte, green tea cheese cake, green tea bread, green tea ice cream and green tea itself. I like to cook, but my food is not the greatest but still edible. I like to walk, aimlessly. I like words. I am judgmental because it is difficult for me to see the log in my own eye and i am working on it. I do not like gossip. I like books but have a hard time concentrating which is why I prefer short stories. i would like a library in my home. I like interior designing. I like beautiful things. I need to understand things. I like stories from far away places so I can dream. I am not scared of many things. I tend to exaggerate and dramatise, so don't take me seriously. But if you don't take me seriously when I dramatise, I will cry. If I didn't study business, and if I knew better, I like to think that I would've been a well-acclaimed cellist or pianist, playing in an orchestra. I like to write. Voila.

Saved by Grace.

PHILOSOPHY

Just do it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach you to think deep, and hopefully we can together see a boa constrictor digesting an elephant, and not a hat.
I can teach you to cook delicious Chinese food with very little oil.
I will share my food, my comfort, space with you, so that you feel comfortable. (Do not be like Veronika who used and abused!)
