Linguistics student at Nanyang Technological University who reads Wikipedia in my spare time but rarely had an occasion to make edits until HG2052 came along.

Fun facts:

- Born in Penang (like fellow Singaporeans Khaw Boon Wan and Wee Chong Jin), the first birth in the then-newly opened Pantai Hospital Penang

- Born on the same day as Anne Frank, and also the Philippines, modern Russia and George H. W. Bush

- Late succumber to smartphone s, proudly resisted getting one until 2015

- Voracious reader; favourite Shakespeare plays include A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice and The Winter's Tale; other favourite books include the Sherlock Holmes stories (favourite being The Adventure of the Speckled Band, and including The House of Silk), the Tintin comics, the Narnia books, the His Dark Materials trilogy, Roald Dahl's stories, a few Arthur C. Clarke novels (Rendezvous with Rama, The Fountains of Paradise and A Fall of Moondust), and The Great Zoo of China, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Gulliver's Travels, Watership Down, To Kill a Mockingbird and My Family and Other Animals

- Could have dabbled in medicine or law but chose linguistics, with absolutely no regrets
