A New Adventure

A New Adventure
Dobby and I in a hiking trip in Taiwan.

First, thanks so much for stopping by. After all, time is your single most valuable assets.

I am Bryan, born and raised in Hong Kong. Fed up with the dictatorship and stress in Hong Kong, I began on a painful, but fruitful immigration journey. I am now a currently a legal resident in Taiwan and am a permanent resident of Canada.

I am a dual qualified lawyer. After some years in a traditional corporate law firm (with too many all-nighters), I have now joined a tech company developing post-quantum cryptography (Sounds exciting right, even though you might wonder what that is – don’t worry, you are not alone).

I have a dog named Dobby (right – named after the elf in Harry Potter). She, in my not so humble opinion, is the cutest creature in the world. I love her more than any person or thing in the world (okay – maybe after my girlfriend and parents, maybe.)

I am a keen reader who reads every day – a lot of self-help books, to modern history and sociology books written by some of the greatest thinkers, to fictions of many different categories (Harry Potter is still my favorite).

I manage and plan about my finance matters carefully and am trying to build my wealth incrementally (after making some terrible losses in some unwise investments).

I love sports. I work out regularly and am a lover of badminton.

While I am an outgoing person and am generally good with people, I have been internet-shy and am uncomfortable putting myself out on the online world. Yet, I believe that there should be someone out there who has an interest on the above (what kind of evil person could be not interested in a dog named Dobby). I therefore decided to embark on this journey of self-discovery, exploration and, most importantly, sharing.

So, welcome onboard to this exciting (and on-going) journey of mine.
