About me I am a rational, intuitive introvert who suffers from the illusion that one can impose structures in life.

To make a living, I figure out how brands can gratify people's sometimes-undiscovered needs. I work in an advertising agency as an account planner.

I enjoy travelling not on a shoestring. I like my food spicy, my coffee strong, and my cigars medium-bodied. I want to have an enjoyable life but the one that provides meaning.

About my library I am always fascinated with human behaviour, especially human’s projects to pursue happiness. This is despite that Daniel Gilbert's Stumbling on Happiness has successfully convinced me that we can't really know what makes us happy.

I've just started to teach myself economics --I am happy to find out economics is a very useful to analyze human behaviour.

I am a sucker for page-turning fictions where three-dimensional characters are driven to discover about certain things and end up learning about even bigger things. In between, I try to read as many classics as possible.

I am also keen to learn more about architecture and visual arts.

Herr Sausage -- Saw you joined the advertising dealie bop. Where are you based?
Mita: Notice that you like books about "happiness". Have you read Bertrand Russell's CONQUEST OF HAPPINESS? It isn't difficult to find. Usually categorized under philosophy. Went to look for Botton's ARCHITECTURE OF HAPPINESS at Q Bookstore here at Bakmi GM, but closed down Sept. 22nd. Guess have to check out the one in Kemang.

I just could not bring myself to finish the book. I started it but was really bored. It was light, fluffy reading that I would do at the beach. Not at all a serious fiction novel or a non-fiction tale. Most of the Kensington Press titles, in my humble opinion, are perfectly good reads for that vacation on the beach, but not too much more than that.
Hi. No, Im an account guy, but have been in the business for quite a while and tend to be fully involved in planning, I enjoy the work. London is a fab city isn't it?! I've been here for a while, I'm applying for my passport this year!
just in response to your message on my profile: no i haven't yet read 'andrew&joey'. i'm one of those compulsive book buyers who end up buying books just because. mind, i do read them. but, it takes a while. (^__^)

when i do read it, though, i promise to contact you.
