Meeting people, reading, sports, listening to music.

I love meeting people, making friends and rendering services to reduce people's suffering and challenges, thus bring me genuine happiness and satisfaction as well. I relax watching sports, listening to cool, reggae music when am not reading for knowledge, or studying to meditate.
