Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the world and at the same time to enjoy my busy working adult life
ABOUT ME
I think I am a down-to-the-earth person that loves meeting people. That's why I love traveling, and I specially love traveling alone - one way to push myself out there and try new things, make new friends.
Apart from traveling, other things I love doing will be reading and watching movies - my brain has the apetite for various kinds of mental food.
I also like sports, especially the feelings of sweating. I am adding this last line just to make myself sound less like a nerd ;)
PHILOSOPHY
Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.”
- Tom Robins
"That's what we're missing. We're missing argument. We're missing debate. We're missing colloquy. We're missing all sorts of things. Instead, we're accepting."
- Studs Terkel
"If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me."
- Wystan Hugh Auden
"In this life, it is always hard to distinguish happiness and pain, so all that I wish for is to be genuine."
- Wang Xiaobo
"Neither is there Bodhi-tree
Nor yet a mirror bright;
Since in reality all is void
Whereon can the dust fall?"
- Hui Neng (638-713)

Music, Movies, and Books
There are whole bunch of lists on my FB profile. Mostly for movies, I love the black-humor type like Snatch or Fight Club. Same applies to my book taste - I like Wang Xiaobo's works. He is darn good a master in sarcasm, and he is Chinese (hard to achieve these two at the same time).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Watched this Icelandic Geyser suddenly sprung up.
Jumped off a 10-meter (I know, not too high, but I was really scared before I gathered enough guts) cliff into a waterfall.
