I was born in a small "kampung" (village) of 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 Police Force I went to New Zealand to further my studies. During this time I became interested in computers and I have been in computers ever since.

l migrated to Australia a number of years ago after completing my studies and spending a few years working in New Zealand. I have since made lots of friends, learned a new way of living and have adopted Australia as my country as well as learning Strine*(see footnote) as a second language.

Both Malaysia and New Zealand are beautiful countries but Australia is now home.

Home is now Kingswood (Penrith) about 65 kilometres from downtown Sydney at the foot of the Beautiful Blue Mountains and also one of the sites for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
