Random musings and constant questions has never gotten her satisfactory answers, so Poh Hian dreams of exploring every crevice and corner on the earth for herself. A resolute believer that everyone has a story to tell, she relishes striking up conversations with absolute strangers (while secretly analyzing them) and listening to their life stories. Armed with a fearless nature that scares everyone but herself, Poh Hian revels in throwing caution to the wind and going to the extreme. An adrenaline junkie, she takes delight in the thrill of anything exciting and dangerous. Rollercoasters, skydiving and horror movies (The Eye or Dark Water, anyone?) – bring them all on. Her motto in life is cliché but true, “ What doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger. ”
