About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit friends and make friends around the world! To experience lives. Dare to dream and dare to make dreams come true.

ABOUT ME

I love to meet people all over the world and to explore the world. I graduated from Sociology in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I was working in the kitchen of a coffee shop in Hong Kong, making sandwitches, pastas, and cup cakes! I love to cook! It's very enjoyable to share food with friends. Now I am a teacher at youth college.

Also, I love to sing and play musical instruments. At home, I got a piano, guitar, and saxophone. Sometimes it could be a bit noisy at home. I do sports too! I play the table-tennis since I was 6. Other than that, I play the basketball, volleyball, and badminton.

I have also been an active theatre goer and worker since 2006. I am from a local theatre group which is famous for its street performance : ]

I love to carry musical instruments around. Right now, I have my guitar and pear-flute with me. I would love to meet musician around the world and jam with them! I had fun in Athens, and I wanna do the same in other countries that I travel to!
Here are the youtube video that I took recently! Trust me! Music really has no geographical bountries!

This is my first street performance in Athens, with a very talented street violinist, Daniel!

I am in the middle of my one year travel! From HK--Europe--Jordan--Israel--Southeast Asia.

I also love to play guitar, though i am not a really good player, but i can't go on a long trip without singing : ]

After my whole year travel, I missed home. Now I am back in HK and work as an abnormal teacher : P
At the same time, I am preparing my own musical project staged at the end of September!

PHILOSOPHY

Be responsible for my own decision and don't regret for it.

The world only satisfies our needs but not our greeds.

施比受更有福

愛是恆久忍耐又有恩慈,愛是不嫉妒,愛是不自誇,不張狂,不做害羞的事,不求自己的益處,不輕易發怒,不計算人家的惡,不喜歡不義只喜歡真理!

You may say I am crazy, but I am not the only one.
I guess I have a typical Hong Kong girl's look but I believe I am more than that.

For the past 4 years I shut myself in a shell to think, to be confused and scared of the outer world. I also lost my positiveness and courageousness. Right now I feel that I am getting back to the right track.

My family name is "Leung" which has the same sound of "Learn" in English. I like to address myself as "Bell Learn" because I think there's a lot more to learn, to experience, to feel especially outside schools and books.

Oh, one thing, not until very recently I started to appreciate alcohol because I had so much fun to play the piano and jam with others after my first port wine : ]

Yeah, life is tough but still I am glad that I am alive!
