I am passionate about meeting peoples from all over the world, sharing with them my passions in food, my cultures, traveling, exploring something new, adventurous and yet different. My motto in life: carpe diem ( seize the day) and Hakuna Matata ( in Swahili it meant - no worries, be happy ). For I believe that life is meant to be lived to its fullest potential as we are passing by this life only once. I have an easy going personality, people says.

Fancy visiting and sitting in a 130 millions years old tropical rainforest, sipping coffee amidst the nature, with the callings of the cicadas, croaking of frogs, birds chirping & breathing in the fresh cooling air? A garden with many species of Monkey Cup ( Nepenthes ssp ) growing amidst the trees and foliages to be appreciated, climbing up to the highest viewpoint with a 360 degree view of Penang at Curtis Crest ( The Habitat ) & walking 40m above the rainforest floor - peeking into life on top of the trees while keeping an eye out for those wildlifes that makes their home there. We then headed downhill with the famous funicular train to visit the biggest Buddhist monasteries in South East Asia - the Kek Lok Si temple complex with the famous Pagoda of 10000 Buddhas. Together with the 30m bronze Goddess of Mercy statue, this few places is a must visit for the discerning travellers. So, come traipsing over to experience the historical Hill & Temple of my state. . . And let me show you my Penang.
