About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and live life to the fullest, no matter how many lemons I am chucked. And that's a lot of lemons.

ABOUT ME

I'm just a regular girl. Sorta. Most people wouldn't consider me a girly-type person because of the fact that I'm extremely loud, I don't wear much other than a t-shirt of a dark color and jeans, and my insane addiction to games. I'm a gamer, in and out. And a super-geek? Maybe. Other than that, I'm a regular girl.

I'm also a food addict. I tend to veer towards the exotic (according to my American friends), but mostly the stuff I grew up with in Singapore. It's gotten to the point where the only channels I really watch on Basic Cable anymore are the Food Network and the Travel Channel.

PHILOSOPHY

Why do people always get so hung up on what they don't agree on, when it's those differences that make life interesting?

Interests

Singing, Gaming, Drawing, Painting, Reading, Playing the Piano (relatively ok), Playing the Guitar (badly), Traveling, Tastykakes, Making crafty things, playing with dice, collecting dice, icosahedra.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving more than 9000 miles from Singapore to the United States to be with the man I love. It's not easy, leaving everything you've known and loved your entire life behind to make a permanent move. I've been called brave, strong-willed and determined, even though sometimes I feel I'm none of these things... but it's always a learning process.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to almost anything, really. I am not really skilled so I do not have much to share, but I'm willing to learn if you are willing to teach.

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Indonesia, Malaysia, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Singapore, United States
