About Me

I am a 23 year old Malaysian studying in Singapore!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be on Zagreb for summer school late June, and would like to explore Eastern Europe while I have this chance!

Interests

I love literature - books, poems, anything beautifully written has the power to move me (sometimes exceedingly so as I've found myself with tears in my eyes one too many times).

"There is something at work in my soul which I do not understand". Read this in Frankenstein and it has stuck with me since.

I study Communications (have 1.5 more years to completing my degree) and I am FASCINATED by new media and novel ways we are being marketed to. Advertising is not a lie! It's a pretty story you can choose to believe if it makes you happier; if it doesn't just turn that BS filter on and your mind off :>

I like fashion and am excellent at hunting out cheap buys that look expensive! Nothing better than looking like a million bucks for a dime.

I love one on one conversations and figuring out what makes people tick. I haven't travelled much yet but boy am I eager to do so!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love The XX, Death Cab, Of Monsters and Men, Angus and Julia Stone, The Perishers! Indie bands aside, I like buzzing to EDM and have nothing against mainstream pop. A little bit of Taylor Swift never hurt nobody!

Movies: The best one I've watched recently was Birdman. Went in with zero expectations and had my mindblown. I think that's the best way to watch a movie (and read a book) - without having heard anything about it. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was just about the saddest thing I've seen. I like Studio Ghibli animations, Wes Anderson films, Moulin Rouge, Chungking Express, Fight Club and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Books: The Little Prince! Foxes and roses being tamed - what's not to love. I've read a lot of Amy Tan, Murakami and Kazuo Ishiguro. Never Let Me Go is one of my favourite books. Read a fair share of fantasy and scifi series too thanks to my geeky elder brother. Love 'em. 1984 and The Great Gatsby gave me a lot to think about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aww man I don't know if this qualifies but I'll list two things that hopefully are cumulatively amazing
1) Climbed on top of a roof to watch NYE fireworks
2) Climbed over a bridge bannister to sit with my legs dangling over the water

No I'm not always climbing things! I'm actually pretty *erhem* grounded

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you how it was growing up in Malaysia then moving to Singapore :) Two countries so close together geographically they might as well be one, but vastly different in so many ways.
I can cook you Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese dishes!
I love experimenting with makeup and I can give you a makeover :p guys too. You don't know what a bit of bronzer and contouring can do till you've tried it!
