Overview
About Me
"It's adventure time!" - how I feel most of the time.
I am a flexible and easy-going person. I am happy as long as I get some rest (and coffee?). I have a w-i-d-e range of interests, so life is always interesting, and I never seem to run out of topics with people.
I have my ideals, but now I just want to understand this world - just a little bit more.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I am a poor student travelling on a shoestring budget? :P
Heh. Obvious reasons aside, I love interacting with locals wherever I go! I feel that my home says a lot about me, so visiting another's home will help me understand the person (and the local culture) a lot more.
When I am not travelling, I am happy to meet new people whenever I am free. Being a "foreigner" in Singapore, I have a relatively unique perspective of the city - and I am always exploring it too!
Interests
I am always curious, which makes me interested in almost everything. My biggest areas of interests right now would be tech gadgets, startups, politics, law, a little bit of philosophy and of course, enjoying life!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - the Before Sunrise trilogy, all Christopher Nolan's movies, Boyhood, Catch me if you can, Shawshank Redemption, all Wes Anderson's movies, Forrest Gump, 不能说的秘密, 12 Years a Slave etc.
Books - the Ender's Game, Life of Pi, Metamorphosis, the Alchemist, the Romance of Three Kingdom, the Shadow of the Wind, the Leader Who Had No Title, Tuesdays with Morrie, the Last Lecture, 绝代双骄, 倚天屠龙记 etc.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Got lost in a tropical forest without any food and survival tools at night - and survived.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to use the best tech gadgets/ apps/ tools for non-geeky human beings (and other productivity tips) and languages that I know.
I want to learn about everything - from trivial facts to astrophysics. My curiosity knows no boundaries.
I can share about the culture, geopolitical issues and history in Malaysia, Singapore and Southeast Asia. I can also share with you about my view on "professional ideas" in the global business or legal arena.
What I Can Share with Hosts
From tangibles (food?) to intangibles (ideas!), I'll try to find things that fascinate you!
