I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The truth about me is out there - just ask anyone who knows me. Some people like me, some people don't.. Well, at least I think I have more friends than enemies. I'm very serious when it comes to future planning - be it career or family. I try to live my life to the fullest by doing things that could make my life experience much more meaningful. I've done a lot of that, but definitely have so much more to come in the future.I've been working for almost 2 years now here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and now I'm joining the company that I've been wanting to join for the longest time - Procter & Gamble. Now the focus is my career and I aim to really push myself to the limits so I can gain the experience and have the opportunity to do MBA or even start my own business. Life is really about the future, we do a lot of things for the future, even when people are old. However, I desire to enjoy my life in whatever I do but with the future in mind.

My Interests

Road Trips - Basketball - Playing drums - Working out - Make friends with people around the globe - Cycling - Brand Management - Human Resources

I'd like to meet:

Interesting and friendly people, Alice Cooper (that's how I got the nickname Cooper), long lost friends.Anyone that I've lost contact with.. like my primary school friends and Koleq friends - juniors, seniors and my batch. All my friends at Northwood University, and all the amazing people whom I got to know in the US. Not to forget all my international friends that I've met before here at the university or while I was travelling in Europe. Also, all my ex-colleagues in Ogilvy Malaysia and Citigroup Malaysia.

Music:

Listen to everything that sounds nice, but more into rock and now starting to like smooth jazz a lot.Check out my band's songs at www.i-bands.net/wheres_joni . The band is called Where's Joni because Joni, one of our guitarist, was always missing in action everytime we wanted to jamm. So the rest of us would always say "Where's Joni?" and since it's kinda funny and sounds cool and catchy, we decided to name our band Where's Joni. We consist of 3 Malaysians and 2 Indonesians. Mixture of influences and styles, made it such an amazing experience to play and make music with these talented people. Make sure to listen to all the 4 songs that we have there.

Movies:

I'm not too sure which movie is my favorite. I watch a lot of movies and I like a lot of them. Most of the times, I watch movies to kill some time and usually I tend to forget about the story after I watched it.

Television:

I like a lot of TV shows in the US, but it sucks that in Malaysia a lot of these great shows are banned or censored due to it's explicit contents. I think those make the shows exciting and funny. CSI, King and Queen, Smallville, Travel Channel and a lot more.

Books:

I'm more into magazines. Can't stand thick books and those small prints books. Some magazines that I like are Forbes, Men's Health, Wired, Slam and GQ. Enjoy reading success stories - they motivate me.

Heroes:

My DAD.
