About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Exploring myself and rest of the world
(Making people around me fat by bringing them to the best dessert place in town...that's more like it :P)

ABOUT ME

Em....this part is a bit difficult cuz as a chinese keeping things to yourself is a virtue that....nah, that's not true...I desire freedom. I worship it. I don't like rules. Doing whatever you feel like is a blessing. Life is too short to waste any of it for other people's approval.

I think I would be the most spontaneous guy you could ever meet...

I like traveling...it gives you that feeling of not knowing what is gonna happen today and where are you gonna be tomorrow...who are you gonna spend some quality time with...It's all waiting for you to find out.
The world always bring its best upon you. You just have to embrace it. Seize the opportunity. :-)

hmm..what else could I tell you before it gets boring...

I love movies...I do movie marathon at cinema on some weekend on my own(cuz my friend is not crazy enough or shd i say they are not that devoted) with some good movies...and no, I don't like Interstellar despite I am a big fan of Nolan.

But I am an outdoor man at the same time...I used to play hooky just to spend some time in the woods and mountains. Natural is full of surprise and beauty. It shows you how to listen to yourself and

Sports and music teach me a lot actually more than school could ever do. How to be patience, how to stay focus, how to make peace with yourself, how do you fight, how do you face winning and losing but not as giving up. I do rowing, crossfit, rugby and I was a cyclist on the Tour of South China Sea (finishing as the last ..haha,obviously,you didn't have to know that )...Oh, and I am huge fans of All Blacks

I make amazing desserts but don't ask me to make dinner. It's would be a disaster and not pleasant, however, NO ONE have died on my dinning table so far.

I have a good sense of direction with food! I would remember where do they serve the best ramen the best tiramisu the best risotto instead of what street are they on.

I am enthusiastic about languages. It reveals a lot more than the words itself but also the nation the culture the values. And what else could be a better way to bond with locals and show your respect other than learning their language. Blending in, being less of a tourist....that's what I would try to do during travel ( and i guess that's also the spirt of CS)

I think I would say I have a passion toward life.

PHILOSOPHY
Em...what about "Expect the Unexpected" !
the amazing coffee place around the corner, one hell of a story from the taxi driver on your way home, learning guitar from a juvenile gangster

so...surprise me with your story, share with me. I would love to hear all about it.
