ABOUT ME

I like taking travel and street photos (Instagram: @hdpees) and learning about new cultures from different people. I work in the public relations and marketing industry in Singapore, with a specialisation in partnering with technology companies both big and small. During my free time, I like to volunteer, helping out with youths and migrant workers.

Through meeting people from different backgrounds, I find out more about their lives and their stories. The best parts are when we start to laugh along with one another, using our jokes and humour. We are all humans after all, despite all the differences.

Final note: Coffee is life! Beer and food follow closely behind.

CURRENT MISSIONS

- Sign up for a photography course and a coffee barista course
- Finding books from different places and smelling them - and reading them (of course)
- Continue volunteering in the next few years for my two organisations

PHILOSOPHY

Be brave enough to always laugh myself. And get others to join in.
