About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The last continent: South America! (and learning Spanish in BA now)

ABOUT ME

Same as my city... I'm restless, vibrant, 24-7 non-stop. I am an art lover and appreciates creativity, which is the main reason I have been so passionate about advertising... although its fundamental values are still quite contradictory to my life philosophy.

And I am a geek. I have this tendency of seeking for answers in everything. But I would say, I'm an interesting geek :D

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short.
And you have only one shot.
So, live like it's gonna end tomorrow.

Do the best to make a difference -- to people around, to the community, to the world.

And at the end, you will live a life less ordinary, with lots to tell your grand-grandchildren when you are 100.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surf, I host, I organize activities -- but, haha, no I am not THAT passionate about CS... I still have a life, so not to THAT point... if you know what I mean :)

*********************
Regular HK CS Meeting
*********************

I started the regular CS Meetings in HK in 2010, and we had fun~ Do drop by LKF Le Jardin @ 8-11pm if you are in HK on Thursdays! I am already relocated to GZ for work, but you can still check out the post-ups in Hong Kong group.

Interests

Theatre arts (I am an amateur actress), movies, visual arts appreciation, reading, photography, philosophical discussions, singing, scuba diving... And lately, bitten by travel bug.

Visual arts: my all time favourite: MOMA @ NYC

Performing arts: I act therefore I watch. But being on stage is more enjoyable, to me at least.

Movies: mainly drama, I don't like chick flicks. quirky & alternative style is fun.

Music: keep listening but keep forgetting. my weakest area... vote of thanks to my friends who keep feeding me with new music, only that music info just cannot get into my long-term-memory.

Food: I eat everything. Anything local, anything authentic. Before having fine dining, think about people in starvation please.

Drinks: cheap drunk, seriously cheap. But I am natural high, so alcohol is just a touch to a wonderful night out. If I'm away and you need to order a drink for me, Gin & Tonic, it won't go wrong.

Lyrics I recently like (for 2 years already): Jason Mraz - Life is Wonderful

"It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes some tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished"
