Interests
Some of my non-academic interests include...
Rock Climbing & Bouldering
I usually climb every weekend at Safra Yishun Climbing Wall. Let me know if you would like to join. I have taught over 100 people to climb. So you are in good hands. I am a SMF certified Level 2 climber.
Learning MOOCs
I participate at Dojo.Study on Saturdays to learn new MOOCs. I have learned quite a bit from online courses from Coursera and Udemy and Dojo, gives me the right setting to get my courses done and meet some people interested in the courses I am doing.
Ultimate Frisbee
I have played competitive Ultimate Frisbee in India, China, South Korea and Singapore. I join the Hong Lim Park pickup games on Sunday evenings. Feel free to join. I can teach you the basics in 15 minutes. In Singapore, I usually join the Beach Ultimate Tournaments.
Chess
I used to prefer GO over Chess, but these days I have been taking advanced Chess Lessons and have improved my tactics and strategy plays quite a bit. I am generally on Chess.com. Do reach out if you would like to play a game. I prefer 10 minute rapid chess games. I like playing Chess960.
Ultra Marathons
I started distance running in 2006 and in 2012 graduated to 100k + races. I stopped running shorter formats like marathons since 2013.
I also enjoy Hash House Harriers. I have been part of the Bangalore, Shanghai, Seoul and Singapore HHH clubs.
Hackathons
I take part in many hackathons in Singapore. I use it as a place to quickly learn something, prioritize stuff as well as meet cool people who make stuff. I also hang around hackerspaces a lot.
Magic
I have been dabbling with magic for a few years now. I was one of the finalists at Fudan's Got Talent, for my street magic tricks. I usually prefer a deck of cards.
Kayaking
I am a 2 Star Award Kayaker. I have done international Kayaking expeditions. In 2014, I was the starboard guard during tough conditions, with five meter waves crashing on us and winds blowing us towards the cliff. A Canadian couple capsized and I saved their lives. In SG, I prefer Kayaking around Ubin island (21km).
