Personality: I’m a 25-year old dude who may just be everybody’s kinda guy. I’m a balanced mix of warm, gentle, reasonable, faithful, non-confrontational, firm, musical, funny, and bad-ass. 
Originally from Malaysia, I relocated to Australia 3 years ago to further my studies. I have since graduated from university and am now working as a software developer with a very innovative company based in South Melbourne. I really love and appreciate Australia, but I still hold Malaysia close to my heart, especially the 3Fs that I heart so much – family, friends, and food. 
Professional Life: Professionally, my interests lie specifically in .NET, Silverlight, SQL Server, AJAX, JQuery, and WCF (Google those acronyms and tell me what you found! :p), all of which have two common traits – Microsoft and the C# programming language. Yes, I’m one of those guys, but I can easily work with Java and the Android platform if need be. But hold it, I’m not a geek. I believe that I am one of those people in IT that have successfully broken away from the stereotype that programmers must be nerds.
Hold it, I can still dissect a computer or a laptop, and replace its spare parts. But instead of playing video games, I read books. Instead of anime, I play music and I love having a jam. Instead of other things, I cook, do gardening, play squash, or just hang out and get to know good people.
Faith: I am a member of the Melkite-Greek Catholic Church, an Eastern Christian Church in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. I believe everything that is summed up in the Nicene Creed, and I firmly believe in marriage as a God-ordained Sacrament between a man and a woman. I also believe that Christians who believe in the Giver of Life must resist all attempts and efforts that “terminate or prevent human life” like abortion, contraception, and euthanasia.
Android vs Apple?: I’m not one of those people. I love technology as it is, and while I appreciate Android’s “openness”, I also like Apple’s “innovative” streak. Go find your arguments elsewhere because I won’t give you any. I still have respect for those who use non-smart phones.
Music: I have been playing guitar (lead/rhythm/acoustic/bass), piano/keyboards, percussions, and vocals for 14 years. I am a self-taught musician, and my musical styles vary greatly. I alternate greatly between classic rock, alternative rock, R&B, blues, hip-hop, soul, funk, country, and pop (whatever that means). Sorry, no heavy metal for me. My primary influences range from blues legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Duane Allman, to singer-songwriters like Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, and James Taylor. I firmly believe in the saying “Drop Beats Not Bombs”.
