About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun and make myself a better person!

ABOUT ME

Right now, I'm on an exchange in University of Aberdeen, Scotland, studying something other than accounting. I love travelling around, but sometimes, it can be boring when we just travel to a place and take photos without really knowing the culture and the people there. That's why I like meeting new friends when I visit other countries. Right now I am looking forward to my Christmas and New Year travel around Europe before I go back to Hong Kong in January.

PHILOSOPHY

Be optimistic. I live my life because it's full of meanings!

Interests

travelling, music, hang out with friends..I also like sports, especially badminton, volleyball and hockey

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not a big fan of reading...but I love music, especially Katy Perry, Jason Mraz, Coldplay and Maroon 5. But sometimes, I also like to relax and listen to classic music.
Any good horror, thriller, adventure, sci-fi movie and also musicals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel happy to spend my last Christmas in Ghana, Africa. I have joined a University organization called Beyond the Pivot to have community services in the other part of the world. We've spent our time in several rural areas in the northern part of Ghana. We tried to teach them some basic things about English since most of the kids here do not have a chance to learn. Apart from this, our group has built a toilet system in one of the villages with our bare hands to make them be aware of the hygiene problem. I know what we've done didn't help them a lot or didn't have any changes to their lives, but I consider this trip as my start to help them live a better life. Africa seems to be the poorest continent, but the people there are extremely nice and respectful. They treat others from heart and the children are very energetic and happy. It's a very good experience and actually I've learnt a lot from them.
