About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet a smurf

ABOUT ME

Hello everyone!

I'm from a little red dot also known as a 'fine' city which translates (not literally but figuratively) to Singapore. Singapore is a tiny speck on the map, about one fifth the size of Rhode Island (the smallest US state) but it has the world's busiest port and shipping lanes and it is my job to protect it once i graduate!

Most of all love nature and the outdoors especially the sea. After all about 70% of Earth is covered by water. I also firmly believe in trying out all things in life at least once!

PHILOSOPHY

live life to the fullest, hugs and laughter

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the northern lights and having dolphins swim right next to your ship during sunrise when on watch on the bridge.

Teach, Learn, Share

Singaporeans DO speak ENGLISH! haha i still get that incredulous look. Come hang out with my bunch of awesome local friends, and you'll see for yourself!

Singapore is NOT in China. I find it hilarious when people think we are some city in China! Sorry people, but we are in Southeast Asia, just below Malaysia!

And lastly Singapore is NOT run by a dictatorship! I don't feel oppressed at all.

Anyway you can always teach me a language and share with me your culture and life experiences!
