C'est moi, le roi.

About Me

I grew tired of my old about me section, so here comes a new one. I'm Stephen. I'm 21 years old and I grew up in D.C, Indonesia and, most importantly, Hong Kong. I go to college in San Francisco, CA. My parents live in Singapore. My favorite things in the world are playing soccer, listening to music, watching movies, reading a good book (which is defined as one I'll finish, given my notoriously short attention span) and hanging out with family and friends. I think you know enough now. Buy me a drink and you'll get some more. ..
