CURRENT MISSION

To decant language. To write and speak the "language" that can hold my mind, my soul.

ABOUT ME

This is really the most difficult part of creating online profiles for me. I believe that the most important and "deciding" points in a person is not what can be seen but what one hears and feels. I don't know. I would not say I am funny because I have some depression phases, (hehe I learned to admit after fighting it with myself for a long time) although my friends and workmates find me "strangely humorous". I will borrow others' opinion and impressions on me to describe myself. By that I should be able to avoid some air of arrogance or self congratulation. My uni professors and mentors find me very practical minded but yet surprisingly idealistic. My partner (I am gay and I am married to a man) thinks I am shy. My best friend thinks I do not fit at all in my job because I am impatient with details and do not really give so much fuss about small things. I believe I have so much to learn and learning is the biggest room there is. Learning is an opportunity to improve.

PHILOSOPHY

Your words are only as good as what you think. But even what you think can not be fully captured in what you say or write. If one can put into words what one really feels then that's language at its purest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wui! When I decided to get married, despite my family's ultimate rejection (they are catholic conservatives so I have to respect that) and my former friends' thought I have become a gold digger, and moved with my partner to Switzerland. Start all over again with nothing but my diploma and guts. In three years learned to converse in German and found a job. I think I am still amazed by that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quiet selfish in this area. I think I am not that good enough really to teach something to others for I myself have still so much to see, hear and learn. mmmmm anyone interested with MS Excel techniques especially with reporting solutions? Maybe in that one I could be of help.
