A little about Myself

I'm now a 2nd year Maritime Engineering Student at Singapore Polytechnic and being a Singaporean, I have gone through 12 years of pre-primary, primary and secondary school education. (More below !)

Apart from the normal everyday life, my hobby / interest is to chase after the newest computer news and high tech stuffs. I love to assemble computers and tweak the highest performance out of them.

 My Other Page

I began building homepage somewhere in 1996, due to connection I have to the Net, I don't have web space of my own... I started with some free webpage providers (only a few at that time), but now they have all commercialized...

A History of Myself

I'm born in Singapore (obviously) and lives in HDB (Housing-Development-Board set up by the government during Singapore's developing days) flats just like most Singaporean does.

Logo 1 I spent 2 years in my pre-primary and then 6 years in Clementi Town Primary School, learning the very basics of everything. And graduated with the average result :)
Logo 2 The 1st year of my 4 years in secondary education is spent in Jin Tai Secondary, which later I moved to Woodlands (from Clementi West).

Fuchun Secondary is the place where I spent the rest of the 3 years and it is also where I acquired my interest in computers. Took my GCE "O" level at the end of 4 years and... (look below)
Singapore Polytechnic Now, I'm a full-time student in Singapore Polytechnic, still persuing the Diploma in Maritime Engineering.

My Computer History

It all started when I joined the school's computer club (when I'm in Fuchun), unlike most people, I begin with Macintosh (Apple) computers then slowly move to IBM compatibles. First impression, definitely not very good, after pages of weird words, I found myself staring at the DOS prompt, which make me wonder if I have done anything wrong ! (Strange enough, after so many years, people who spoilt their Win95 still find themselves staring at the "prompt" ! I started learning IBM compatibles when my school replaced the Apple Classic II during my final year. After the GCE "O" level, I bought my first computer, a Pentium 100 with 8Mb ram and 850Mb hdd, of which at that time was considered more than enough. I got on-line about 2 years ago (1996) and started chasing after high tech computer happenings (mainly hardware) ever since. I set up a home network (10 BaseT) shortly after I assembled my second PC on March 98. Intel CPU's not my choice this time, as it provides terrible performance to price ratio, my new system is base on AMD's K6-233, it has 128Mb of ram, Creative AWE64 sound card, S3 Virge DX, Infra 3600 CD-ROM, a total of 10Gb disk space and ASUS TX97-XE mainboard.

I am now looking into broad band networking, which my government is trying to get everyone involved ! So far the Singapore ONE (One-Network-for-Everyone) they set up is almost done (in trial now). I have the cable socket right beside my PC, but didn't have the luck to be a beta user (my friends are downloading at 10Mbps). Just hope that the pricing would be reasonable after the commercial launch :)
