Welcome to my profile folks :)

A bit about me:

I was born in Malaysia, parents are Indian, though I probably have some German and Arab in me too from many generations back, I consider myself a person from 'Earth' since I've traveled so much and don't have an attachment to any particular country, I'm more someone who attaches to people I'm closer to, and ideals I'm passionate about.

I'm the kind of friend I find most friends come to for advice, though I probably keep to myself a lot when it comes to asking for it :p If you're the psychologica​lly inclined and know about Myers Briggs, then I guess you should know I'm an ENTJ, but my Extraversion​ is only 1% and switches depending on what state I'm in when doing the test - the NTJ, however, I highly doubt would change.

I'm passionate about making a difference in this world, in my own way. I'm generous with my friends, though can be quite bad at keeping in touch at times (sorry! :p - and its not intentional,​ I lead a busy life)

Some stats:
Height: 178cms
Weight: 65kgs (yes, I'm a bit on the slim side :p)
Hometown: Perth, Australia
Political Views: Libertarian
Religious Views: Integral. Spiritual but not religious.
Accent: Old friends in Malaysia say I sound British but with strong Aussie influence (yea, I say g'day and mate quite a bit), old friends in India say I sound American or British, friends in Australia here say I sound British or South African and one dude thought I was Jamaican Oo - yea mon :p lol - and I fake a really good Indian and Chinese and gollum (from LOTR :p) accent /  voice too :p - but so far apparently I sound British mainly.. but I'll let you decide that if you ever get the chance to hear me :p
Alcohol / smoke / drugs?: Never have, never shall.
aaanyway...
... wanna know more? Just ask. :)

I'm looking for like minded people, friends, and what not... I have no particular requests, I'm quite friendly.. get to know me :)

- "Waste no time arguing what a good man should be. Be one!" - Marcus Aurelius

- "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciousl​y give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automaticall​y liberates others."​ - Nelson Mandela

- "Let your own presence be something that convinces the world" - Ken Wilber

- "The only battle that is lost is the one that one thinks is lost" - Jean-Paul Satre

- "Happin​ess is a state of being, not a result of circumstance"​ - Me (but I'm sure there have been many similar sayings that inspired it)

- "The most important thing you should do in life is to keep an eye on who or what is in control of your spirit, and your power" - Caroline Myss

- "So on confirmation​ of our trading rules we would either buy or sell on the market, just look and see what the humans do, haha, look, pfft, ridiculously​ predictable isn't it?" - Cameron Mitchell

- "I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." - Atlas Shrugged

- "My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute."​ - Ayn Rand

- "Throug​hout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received - hatred. The great creators--th​e thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors - stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The first airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won." - Unknown
