Do you enjoy travelling and where to? I love travelling, especially to Bali. It's such a calm place to be at and yet it's not too far away. And I fit into their culture rather easily since I can speak a little bit of Bahasa now. If you could choose, which country would you like to reside in? Definitely Singapore. It's where I was born and no matter how often and far I travel, I will still choose to come back here where my family is. Where is your favourite golf course located? Ria Bintan in Indonesia. I personally feel that it's one of the best and most beautiful golf courses in South-east Asia. How did you get into the hospitality industry? By chance, I would say. I'd been in the tourism industry doing sales when I first started working. I then went on to apply for the position of director of sales for a hotel managed by the Equatorial Group and I got it. What is your favourite dish? Xiao Long Bao. It's just succulent! When do you feel happiest in doing What you are doing now? When I clinch a great deal for Furama, like we just did for Bangkok! What do you always bring with you wherever you go? My mobile phone. I feel uneasy if I miss a call or if I'm unable to make a call to settle an issue immediately. When was the last time you had a holiday and where? I brought my family to Bali a month ago and we stayed at Furama's very own - FuramaXclusive Villas & Spa Ubud.
