I wanted to be a Secret Agent as a kid. I was very fat, but won the long jump trophy when I was in Primary 5.
I was also really good at chapteh (a round, flat rubber circle base, with colorful feathers coming out of the top) and used to challenge boys in classes above me, during recess. Plus, I was a demon at ping-pong.
My parents taught me that the most worthwhile ventures are made with love. I get inspired when I realize the interlocking shared experiences of life, and how beautiful and fragile it is.
Live with love in your heart and mind, from moment to moment.
I’ve never been caught committing a felony.
Politics is a very dirty game that turns its participants into very dirty people.
Blatant, premeditated cruelty and rationalized greed make me sick in the stomach. I abhor the use of destructiveness to get what one wants.
When I’m really upset, I concentrate on my breathing to help clear the mind.
I’m a very sentimental person. I believe in caring compassion, way above any kind of material or technological success, or economic statistics that try to persuade one that that’s what life is about.
Life is a miracle. I have no idea what its meaning is, though. When there is harmony, sympathetic vibrations expand exponentially in magnitude.
Life is also ironic; apparent opposites are often flip-sides of one another.
I collect memories.
I believe in mutual love and respect. The powers that rule the world are very, very far from that.
I love to sleep or play the guitar (sometimes keyboards) and write songs when I’m feeling something strongly.
Life, sexuality, music and my wife Swee Lin turn me on.
