CJ has never been a particularly active person, and up to a few years ago could not even jog for longer than five minutes. She was roped into going to Nepal by her then boyfriend Vincent in 2002. She had her first taste of trekking there, loved it, and spent the next few weeks reading about Everest summits and mountaineering. She has no aspirations to tackle mountaineering, but she does enjoy the active life now much more than she ever did.
Apart from trekking, she also enjoys snowboarding, and has been to ski resorts in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. She also enjoys cooking for Vincent, now her husband, as well as travelling, karaoke, reading investment books, and lying about the house in general. She does not like housework, spiders or heights.
By day she is a mild-mannered doctor, working in a family clinic in the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia. Her special interests are acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and she took three years off from 2001 to study Traditional Chinese Medicine full time at university.
She was born in Malaysia and her ancestors came from China. She lives with her husband Vincent in Melbourne, and her parents, brother and sister-in-law and adorable niece Emma live in Perth.

Vincent has no time to write his profile so I am doing it for him. Vincent’s motto goes something along the lines of “If it hurts it will make you stronger” and he enjoys martial arts (Wing Chun and Tai Ji), body boarding, snowboarding, and drinking sake. His dream would be to live in Canada and snowboard every weekend, or else to spend a season just snowboarding at different resorts around the world. He also enjoys food, and will try anything if it is the local specialty, and he especially loves Middle Eastern food, Raju’s roti canai, teh tarik, and anything with chorizo in it.

By day (and often at night too) he runs several websites, including a successful directory of entertainment in Melbourne, though his aim is to be unchained from the computer and chase the waves (or the snow) while his websites run themselves (or, someone else runs them). He was also born in Malaysia and his dad, sister and her four kids still live in KL. He dislikes boredom, people who copy ideas, and green vegetables.
