About Me

Roselyn Chuah
Nature sitter but never fence sitter. Word carer but never gossip heeder. Tip sharer but never vanity keeper. Fun player but never show stopper. Easy goer but never loose wanderer. Simplicity styler but never trend follower. Love gatherer but never heart breaker. Energy seeker but never restless lodger. Learning from our winged friends, and more: fair fight, openness, straightforwardness, free spirit, do-itness, survival, and more. Learning as I see, learning as I listen, learning as I touch, learning as I do, learning as I talk.
