The part where it's About Me

Every time I come across this section- About me- I would skip it, leave it blank.

I suppose its a combination of not knowing how to summarise myself, and finding it too much trouble to even try. Besides, I am way more interested to hear it from anyone else.

Today, I decided to take the trouble to write up something.

I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1984.
I am Chinese by decent, and the second of three children, the only daughter to my parents.
I am a Christian, and it matters a lot to me.
I love linguistics, but I am only able to speak, read and write in English, Chinese, and Malay. My favorite of the three is Chinese, but I'm more fluent in English.

My first 8 years of formal education was in a Chinese national school, of which I have my mom to thank.
My subsequent years of formal education where in private institutions.
I was also a student at the University of Adelaide in year 2003-2004. These years are memories I reminisce frequently and fondly.
I am a graduate of Accounting and Legal Studies. Neither of which I practice actively in my years of employment.
Loved ones have often reckoned that I was better suited for careers in psychology, social studies, and even education.
Presently, I work in the media. Specifically I do sales and a tad of marketing.
I never saw myself where I was, then again, I have the tendency to surprise myself, and so does God.

I am an ISTJ. That was taken almost three years ago.
In the last two years, I reckon I have both consciously and unintentionally changed in significant ways.

I love God. I really believe in Him.
I love people. I think they're God's best creation on earth.
I love to read, the literary world brings many insightful and amusing characters my way.
I love to write, it helps me pace my thoughts.
I love music. I love music a lot. I love to create/play music, listen to music, dance to music.
I love to walk, a lot of walking, especially outdoors. I love nature and walking paces my thoughts. By now, you may notice that I tend to think a lot, hence the need to pace my thoughts.
I love to travel, and I wish that life did not revolve at being in one single city/state for such a big part of the year. But alas, financial and practical constrains has made it such for me.
I use to love dancing, but over the years, it has slipped away.
I love to play badminton, and its hard to keep me away from my regular Sunday games. I plan to play more often during the week.
I also love my country- Malaysia- its diversity, culture, people and food.

I have loved and I have lost.
I am both happy and thankful for what the years have offered, and those whom God has brought my way.
I am excited about what awaits me for the days, months, and years ahead.
I am ready to love again.

These days, I'm obsessed about heading out of the metro area every (other) Saturday. The natural offerings of this land is beautiful.
I have started with low intensity outings comprising treks to waterfalls, rivers and jungles.
Eventually, I hope to progress towards caving, and biking- both in the night and day.
With this new found hobby, I have invested in my first DSLR to enable me to document my journey; and when the time is right, I shall invest in a good bike as well.

I can imagine you writhing in pain over the length of this post. So, here it stops. Did I not mention that I love to write? :P
