I am independent, quiet and boring. But if you know me better, I am thought-provoking and rebellious. In fact, that is also true for some of my friends.
"Never express yourself more clearly than you think" - Niels Bohr
The eldest son in the family, I was born and raised in a peaceful small town called Batu Pahat, Johor in tropical Malaysia. I spent most of my childhood and teens there, until I was 18 when I pursued my pre-U studies in Kuala Lumpur and Shah Alam before I flew to London's Imperial College to read biotechnology.
As a research student in the field of proteomics, I am now at the National University of Singapore. Like London, Singapore is a metropolitan city, only that I enjoy temperate climate more, as well as the rich cultural heritage of the Europe.
Nevertheless, you can find abundance of sunshine in a tropical country, as well as rainwater. There are beautiful beaches and crystal clear oceans. Not to forget, Malaysia is a food paradise - it has a lot to offer other than potatoes, tomatoes, fish, sausages, salt and pepper.
I have a few close friends whom I knew since the secondary school days in Batu Pahat, like Kuang Wang, Chin Kong, Kok Leong, Feei Shen and Eng Heng and the list goes on. We went through thick and thin together. Although we are now busy with our respective careers, we still keep in touch.
