Summary
I graduated with Master of Laws in International Business Legal Studies.
It is an inter-disciplinary and interwining studies between various fields. However, this leads me to further realize the importance of appreciating many aspects of differing fields of study.
I also love the beauty of languages which leads me to pursue the field of translating where I can make people appreciate the beauty of different languages which they may not understand.
Language also make us experience the different culture and background of other nations of the world.

undefinedSwimming, outdoor activities, music
I started swimming when I was a child. I was asmathic so my father took me swimming to alleviate the athsma attack. I became very good at swimming and I even ventured into water activities when I was at the university where I took up canoeing.

I also listen to music, any kind for that matter. Music is transcendental. I also love classical, instrumental, jazz and R & B.
