I don't know how to describe myself, but I will welcome any questions if you think my details aren't adequately filled. I'm interested in a long-/short-​ distance friendship. Fairly open to all gender types, ages and ethnicity. I enjoy writing, though I'm not very consistent with it. I like animals (pets), and while I enjoy nature, I do not have green fingers.

Personally I'd like to know people from all walks of life globally, but in particularly​ from Northern America (USA & Canada), Latin America, Europe and East Asia.

Please write longer than one-liners per paragraph, 'cos I really don't know what how to reply to such messages.

I conversant in English and Mandarin. Some street Malay and Cantonese.

Of course, I'd love to pick up additional languages.

Any book that can entice me to read throughout is THE BOOK. I love Marjane Satrapi's "Persepolis"​, Lauren Weisberger's​ "The Devil Wears Prada",​ & works by Xue Xinran (columnist for The Guardian & former radio broadcaster in China).

Also interested in mythology (Celtic, Greek, Nordic, Germanic, Teutonic, Eygptian ...), travels & culinary art (cookbooks),​ investigativ​e journalism ...
