Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being indoors. My favorite pastime every Friday night includes karaoke and playing arcade games at Timezone. On weekends or holidays, I love to catch-up with my friends over a meal or cup of coffee.


When forced indoors, I follow a number of anime and Korean dramas & watch a variety of blogs on Youtube. And if money is not an issue, I want to take a variety of different classes in playing musical instruments (piano, acoustic & electric guitar, drums), dancing and singing lessons.


Sometimes I wonder where I would be now if I have chosen to take Astronomy or Food Science/Nutrition & Dietetics in college because they seem interesting to me, too.
