As a Person

Eng Chuan has a wide range of interests that engenders emotions. He writes using fountain pens and Rhodia notepads. This is because seeing ink form into words is an experience and evokes different feelings. He rides a motorbike that is too heavy for him. Whenever he rides, he feels this sense of freedom and at the same time vulnerability. His endless pursuit for mastery drives him to continuously learn from renowned psychologists overseas and devour books to help his clients better.
