But she would always come to the beach with me.


- What do you cherish in your life?

"My family. I have a 17 years old daughter. She’s cheeky though."

- 17... Isn’t that when kids either hate their dads or love them?

"I guess she does hate me a little bit, but she would always come to the beach with me. Whenever her and her friends want to skateboard or surf, I'm asked to drive them. Actually we've been going surfing together for the past couple of weeks. Also with her friends. Ain't I like Big Daddy, taking care of seven teenagers?
But you know, when she’s with her friends, she's different from the little girl I know as a dad. She drinks. We don’t let her drink at home because my wife's strict.
But every time, I tell her ‘Go on and drink’ and one time I passed out before they did, and she sent my wife a picture of me passed out on the sofa. That got me into big trouble.”

- Please tell us your ideal adult figure.

“Never think too much. By that I mean never get too stressed out. Having something to be passionate about. Even if you thought your work was stressful and you wanted to go have a drink, you just go with it. On and off. Don't be stressed."

- How do you imagine yourselves after ten years from now?

"Wouldn't change much, I guess."

- You don't want to change?

"Nah. It'd be great if I can have this same life maybe in Hawaii, where it's summer all year long and food is delicious. I want to go to somewhere where I don't need to wear a jacket. Sure I will wear a suit, but I just hate ties. I try to only wear it when I have to, like for an important meeting."

“Me? To be together with my family, just like we are now. That’s all I need.”
