Basic Information
Dear friends and all, I am back after a six years' hiatus from Wikipedia. My last entry was back in September 2006 and now I am a graduate student at NUS doing Southeast Asian Studies. One of my modules requires me to do a Wikipedia entry on a selected topic and I certainly hope this latest effort can be a springboard to another Wikipedia adventure. I shall not delete my previous entries about me which I wrote during my undergraduate days. On the back of more than five years of working experience and marriage would certainly made me more circumspect about life and I do hope my next entry will reflect a more mature manner of writing.
