About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cover SE Asia, and let the people I meet along the way to be the microscope and encyclopedia. And discover.

ABOUT ME
By day, I'm an accountant. By night, I'm also an accountant but not by choice. Weekends tend to be for healing and restoration purposes after all the weekday hoo-haa. So I'm usually out for short hikes on my own or reading at home. I can be found at spoken word poetry events; I'm not a seasoned poet but I love the way words have access to every inch of us if we let them work their magic. Sometimes, I walk through flea markets, bargain, and go home empty-handed because I'm broke. I'm not a photographer, but... ya know, I try to take photos of buildings and human beings. I love hopping on a train, being just another face and getting off at random stops! Also, people-watching is a legit past-time.

PHILOSOPHY

Just keep going, pal, just keep going.

Make mistakes, laugh, and move on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spoke in front of a tiny crowd. Irrelevant, but it's something I have feared for a very long time and still do.

Teach, Learn, Share

Literally, everything.

There is only so much to learn from academic materials. The rest comes from your surroundings, through experiences.
