TL;DR: Multi-faceted.

21st-century kampung boy, always ready for some crazy adventure.

I am unashamedly a Sir David Attenborough wannabe and amateur naturalist. I love animals, not just cute furry puppies and kittens, but also the drab, venomous and downright ugly. You'll most likely find me outside, exploring some forest, riverside, park, or seashore, quietly watching and observing the multitude of creatures that inhabit these ecosystems.

A lot of my time is spent contemplating the countless marvels of the natural world, human impacts on the environment, and how I could, perhaps, in my own little way, help nurture a deeper appreciation and connection with this intricate web of life that we're a part of.

When I'm spending time in civilisation, you'll find me at the library, or in a cafe somewhere, reading a book or writing. Or checking out an exhibition at a museum. Or simply relaxing at home, watching random silly videos on YouTube and reading articles I find via the people I follow on Twitter.

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter."

- Rachel Carson
