I was born in Fiji in 1994. Moved to New Zealand when I was 7 years old and after spending a horrible year there, we moved to Australia and I have lived here since.

Primary school was a breeze, as was High school. Top in my classes concerning IT; Programming and Designing. B student in all other classes; Math (snore), Physics (very interesting), Music (love it!), English (Snore x10^∞). However I dropped out of school in grade 11 due to lacking of interest in my career options and in fact just life in general...

After dropping out of school I spent a year learning the guitar, inspired by guitarist James Hetfield from Metallica. I'm not really a 'good' guitarist but I can play most of the songs from Metallica perfect and sing it at the same time too. I suck at solos, I'm a rhythm guitarist specialising in riffs from Metallica. I have also taken up Violin in 2012 (new years resolution?), in intention to play Metal on a classical instrument \m/ But also to learn some songs by Vivaldi as I am also very interested in his classical compositions. In fact he was my inspiration to get the violin in the first place.

Judging from what I have said above, I believe I am a practical person. I like physics though I don't like maths and yet you need maths to do physics... This is because I don't like the way it is taught perhaps. Maths is all numbers and letters, physics is objects with numbers and letters. It's not that it's theoretical, it's that it has no relation to something; I like to apply my maths. For this reason I am not good at my multiplication tables. I never studied them and to this day I have not intended to because all I care about is solving the problem/getting the right numbers; I'll use my calculator or my mind, whichever I trust is correct.

My 'hands on' approach to life is probably why I have now chosen a different career from IT. As much as I did like the logic problems and the aesthetic design planning, I think my future rests in mining companies; I want to become a Boilermaker/Fabricator. The mining industry has the most money in these fields and the automotive industry is certified to continue to prosper in the near and distant future.

I have always like to create stuff. Whether it be physical things or just simply music. I am also very good at being very good at what I'm interested in. Sadly I'm not interested in conventional things that society would want me interested in. Thus, as well as things listed above, I play Halo a lot and a little bit of COD. I play Halo because I like the game mode called 'SWAT'; Headshots only. This incites more skill than other game modes because although it is easier to kill other players, it is also easier for them to kill you. It becomes a test of reaction times and skill. COD on the other hand is difficult for me to play because the game does not have ideal hosting distribution; players from America kill us before we even see them -.- I like things to be a test of skill and not internet connection, who can argue.

This is not to say I devote my life to games, I find I am also a person who likes to learn things. I like to increase my knowledge and this is usually done by Googling something and looking it up on Wikipedia. As a typical human being, I am on a never ending quest to inquire and submit to my curiosity. To learn as much as I can and apply what I know as often as I can. I tend to always be right when it comes to the analysis and rationale of something and this is probably because I have a lot of knowledge and experience on the practicality of things. I can look at something and quite accurately work out what it does and how to use it. Not an incredible feat but you get the idea; I can tell if a pole will hold or not and how much force it can withstand before breaking etc.

This would justify why my instincts are always right! Yet I rarely follow them >.< I chose not to because I feel that although my mind is telling me this outcome, I'm still hoping for the other outcome and of course my mind has so far always been right. So even though I know I have made the wrong decision, I only care that I knew I made the wrong one. This sentence corresponds with my whole life; (For example, in grammar and spelling) 'I don't care if I do something the wrong way intentionally. I don't care if I do something the wrong way accidentally. I don't even care if I did something the wrong way because I just didn't know better. I DO care though if I know there is a right way to do it but I just don't know how.' That is my motto!
