About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience Through Living, Not Watching

ABOUT ME

I am waiting to get into university and have about 8 months of free time after serving the country. so that's when i decided to take a break and see the world, a bit at a time. starting with Europe during may 2012, to see the Euro 2012 and London Olympics.

Currently, I'm teaching in a school that is preparing the students for the GCE A levels. We call it a Junior College here and it's for 17 and 18 year-olds. Pre-university, if you will.

Just finished serving my NS (National Service). 2 years of my life in a military uniform has certainly made me a better man (and gave me a lot more stories to tell)

I'm fluent in English and an Expert in Singaporean culture, having grown up here all my life.

I can't wait for something big to happen!

PHILOSOPHY

Very simple: Hot Food and Cold Drinks

Music, Movies, and Books

Inception. I enjoy generally action movies, (or what I like to term as Stupid Action Movies) where there really isn't any plot and you're either there just to watch someone's ass get kicked via bullets or kung fu or big space explosions.

TV wise, there's more variety. I enjoy everything, but mostly comedies like 30 Rock and HIMYM. I also enjoy House and Leverage, which is the best heist show I've seen in a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jet skiing around Barcelona. Never felt this kind of thrill before with wind rushing across your face. Still haven't done any bungee jumps yet. Hopefully there's one in Italy (last stop).

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, China, Malaysia, South Korea

Countries I’ve Lived In

Singapore
