A little bit about me: I’m a Pisces. Born and raised in Singapore on March 16 1972. I was born in the Kandang Kerbau Hospital, (today known as KK Women and Children’s Hospital). Funny name for those who understands the Malay language. Let me give a translation for the benefit of those who don’t understand Malay. Kandang means Pen (as in a small enclosure for domestic animals) and Kerbau means Bull! So an English name for the hospital would be Bull Pen Hospital! Maybe I might do some research on why the hospital is named such and share the information with you… just for General Knowledge. Some History students may find the information useful! You never know 
Work: I’m an Instructional Designer at The National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore. I work in the Centre for IT in Education and as many IDs out there, I design and develop teaching and learning materials as well as easy-to-use pedagogical templates to encourage lecturers to try out a bit of e-Learning. Truly, I see myself more of a developer. I majored in Multimedia Design so I love to dabble with design work as well as technology (esp open-source with php and mySQL). I also enjoyed some multimedia and technology training stints. I was thinking of a way to combine both my multimedia design and training skills, and when I learnt about Intructional Design, I just saw big flashing neons going BINGO everywhere.
Study: I’m at the tail end of my Masters course specifically the MA Instructional Design & Technology in NIE. Just another semester to go and I’ll graduate in July 2007. I may (most probably will) get myself into more sleepness nights and headaches when I start on my PhD, hopefully next year after I get the Masters out of the way.
Love: Life, nature, animals (cats esp) & music (try Garage Band for the Mac!). Preferred genres - Rock (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zep…) and Metal (Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica…). I do listen to other genres as in Pop and a bit of Jazz (Buble type). IBM and Mac user. Currently I’m hooked onto my Intel-based Macbook Pro which also runs Win XP through Parallels. I also love digital photography. You’ll be able to see some pictures soon. One of my favourites is the cuppa at the start and here’s another for now
Ok I’ll end for now cos I have a bit more work to do to get this site all jazzed up!
