About Me

I have a little blog! www.marvelouskaiventures.com

A wishful adventurer!
My mind and soul wander more than my body does, unfortunately.
I'm someone who prefers skydiving to Chanel bags, hiking to Louboutins and cycling to Jimmy Choos.
Very much in love with all kinds of music
A pescetarian foodie
A landscape and adrenaline junkie
A horrible parallel park-er
An avid reader
A (responsible) smoker

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently, I'm not at liberty to host anyone since my apartment is still being developed. However, I am more than happy to meet up with people from around the world, to listen and share stories from all over the globe, and live through the adventures that I hear.

Interests

Although I am very sensitive towards the sun (closet vampire), I very much enjoy
- hiking
- cycling (especially night cycling)
- exploring
- jogging

I also like swimming, although I'm not very good at it.
I enjoy dancing, learning new languages, watching all kinds of TV series (read: from Anime to Orange is the new Black)
I absolutely love animals - but no cockroaches or worms, please.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste differ depending on my mood. Currently, I'm into a lot of Japanese punk rock and alternative music such as Dustbox, One OK Rock, Asian Kung-fu Generation and Four Get Me a Nots.

Sometimes, I enjoy heavier music like Sayyadina, Birdflesh and Tragedy - mostly melodic grindcore or d-beat.
For a more mellow day, I like Blink 182 for a perk-me-up and good ole Foo Fighters

I also enjoy dancing to ska tunes from the likes of Suburban Legends and Streetlight Manifesto and of course, I absolutely love singing along to pop music from Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I doubt there's a lot I can teach that you don't already know.
I don't mind teaching English or Malay language
I also love cooking - and I can teach you how to make some yummy local cuisines

I definitely don't mind sharing my time, as long as I'm not caught up with work or family matters. I don't mind helping you to think of an itinerary for Singapore if you plan to visit, depending on what you might be interested in. Just send me an email!
