about me

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. Dalai Lama

I was born in Asia and grew up in Australia. Five years ago, I moved to Canberra for work.

I am a bookworm who enjoys reading mystery novels. My favorite authors are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie who created the most famous detectives in literature.
I grew up reading historical novels. My favorite books are Great Expectations, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Around the World in 80 Days and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
I have recently become a fan of Michael Lewis works after watching The Blind Side and Moneyball. As a baseball fan I loved the detail about saber-metrics not detailed in the movie.

I listen mainly to the Top 30 hits.

I enjoy French, American and Chinese films. I particularly like the originality and drama of French films that have seen American remakes of their films such as Dinner For Schmucks. I like Daniel Auteuil and Gerard Depardieu films.

I grew up watching kung fu movies by Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and Jet Li and John Woo flicks. My favorite Chinese actors are Chow Yun Fat and Tony Leung.

I enjoy American action movies, dramas and comedies. One of my favourite films is the Pursuit of Happyness because it was based on a true story of a self made American man.
I am also a fan of classic Hollywood films such as North By Northwest and Gone With The Wind

Due to my interest in detective themed stories I also enjoy crime drama. Criminal Minds and Bones are my two favorite TV series.

Baseball is my 9 inning pursuit of happiness. I love watching pitchers throw 100 mile fastballs and the excitement generated by great catches and fantastic batting. I am an avid follower of Major League Baseball - especially the Boston Red Sox.
