I don't know how to accurately define myself because life is constantly changing and I am still evolving.
One part of me has been conditioned by the society so I follow the path of earning salary from various industries, namely sports, finance, airline, education, tourism and media. I've been helping SMEs and corporates to develop their marketing and communication strategy and PR campaigns for more than a decade and specialise in content creation and community engagement.
The other part of me has the eager to take the journey within. I have been interested in writing since I was very young, publishing my first fiction novel when I was in primary school called A Ghost at the Attic. In 2004, I became a blogger. Since then I start to share my experiences, learning and point of views on variety of channels e.g. WeChat, Zhihu, Weibo, Twitter, Instagram and Podcast.
