I often enjoy adventuring with friends either in nature or around neighbouring suburbs and learning new languages through reading, socialising and travelling. During the weekends, I like to spend time exploring local artists' markets to exchange some ideas and thoughts and indulging myself in various exhibitions. I am also keen on trying different kinds of exercises such a skiing, hiking and reformer pilates to improve my inner strength.
