CURRENT MISSION

stay hungry, stay foolish.

ABOUT ME

i'm a 22 year old undergraduate from singapore, where i major in photojournalism and film. on days where i am not a student, i am a wedding photographer.

my first love has always been literature though it has manifested itself in other forms. i love cinema, i love photography, and i also adore the arts. i hope to make it to film school one day, but until then i will be contented with making my independent shorts.

on every other day i enjoy a bottle of beer, a pitcher of wine, or a glass of cognac. i also enjoy my coffee and tea without sugar.

PHILOSOPHY

this is my morality, or metaphysics, or me: passerby of everything, even of my own soul. i belong to nothing, i desire nothing, i am nothing - just an abstract center of impersonal sensations, a fallen sentient mirror reflecting the world's diversity. i don't know if i'm happy this way. nor do i care.

all my life I have been haunted by the obsession that to desire a thing or to love a thing intensely is to place yourself in a vulnerable position, to be a possible, if not a probable, loser of what you most want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i love serendipity, chance and talking to strangers.

i live with my parents so i can't offer my couch up in singapore but i'm in the states from jan through may so my sofa is open for anyone who's passing by columbia.
