Hobbies

  • Challenges
    I love taking up challenges in life. I believe if you are not challenging enough you may not succeed in life. I try not to depend on my parents and work hard for my own living.
  • Leadership
    I always choose to be the group leader in my university courses. Although it is harder to be the leader, because you bear most of the responsibility, it gives you greater motivation to work, which is why I have never let my team down
  • Travelling
    Traveling has always been my passion. I have so far traveled to England and Singapore. I love to explore new places, so I spend my weekends driving around the country.
