I finally got round to pen-down more 'bt myself.
My mantra: Seek first to understand then to be understood. (Covey, 2004)
:Give a man a fish, you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish, and you have fed him for a lifetime.
: Stand for something, or fall for everything.
My all-time fav. quote: 'If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me.' (W.H. Auden)
I'm an Audio-phile who listens to music from every genre. Which is pretty extreme.

....and any song that plays on a minor key, I guess. I'm attracted to songs that sounds melancholia. *chuckles* And, I believe that the window to a person's soul, is through the songs they listen to. The fact that I cringe when an artist 'murders' a song.
Geek factor: I'm an aficionado for books that debates on conspiracy theories.
Naturally, I would have read:
- Dan Brown's literature
-'bt Bible code
-'bt Templar knights
-by Nostradamus

Hobbies: Day-Dreaming, reading, chilling-out while I'm plugged onto my pocket pc, playing the flute, shopping for stuff by indie designers, travelling, going to the movies/plays (all except chick-flicks), knitting.
I breathe technology. Am a city-dweller. Therefore, it's only feasible for me to stay in SIN, JFK and HKG. Where language isn't a barrier.
Things I want to achieve before I reach my prime:
*Djing
*Drift/drag racing
*Wake-boarding
*Riding on a Motorbike (Still contemplating though. The last time I sat on a bike, I felt I was going into a cardiac arrest.)
*Learning to play the acoustic guitar
*Jamming with a Jazz band
*Photography
Current Dilemma: My Uni lecturers have a stickler for plagiarism. I've adopted the harvard referencing in whatever contents I write. So pardon me, I'm trying to kick the habit. (Wong, 2007)
