I was born in an old historical town of Malaysia called Malacca. The eldest of 5 children I was brought up and initially educated in Malacca.

After spending some time serving in the Malaysian Forces I went to New Zealand to further my studies and discovered the marvel of computers.

I migrated to Australia after completing my studies and spending a few years working in New Zealand.

Currently I am a freelance SOHO / VOIP computer systems consultant after my position with CSC was made redundant - in other words I am unemployed :) and am open to any offer.

I enjoy flying aeroplanes (I am a private pilot) and a hobbyist photographer (not too good at it though) some photos here as well.
