I was born in this sunny, overly humid little island a little over 20 years ago. As soon as I could pick up a pencil and do coherent things with it, drawing random stuff soon became a hobby of mine. The moment I learnt how to tell stories with these random (now not as much so) drawings, I knew I had earned myself a lifelong hobby.

So far, that assumption I had as a kid proved to be right. I had drawn all sorts of mini 'trilogies' young, and when the internet came about, I 'graduated' into bringing these comics online. Learning how to scan, how to use programs like Adobe Photoshop, and eventually, refining my drawing style and all that. Ahh good times.

I have been through over 10 years of education in Singapore (not a small feat by any chance..), 2 1/2 years of compulsory army service, and am now purusing a degree in Communication Studies in Northeastern University at Boston, Massachusetts (hope I spelled that right). Despite being a lot busier now than I was as a kid, I still make the time to draw my comics and do some writing.

And that's the way it's been till now. I update my comics periodically, but regularly, which is not as oxymoronic as it may sound. I may not be the best artist out there, but I have come a long way (just compare my older comic chapters to my most recent one), and I will always be dedicated to my craft.

Naturally, I wouldn't have made it this far without some help. My family has always been supportive (even you dad, as much he doesn't say anything). Can't forget all my friends of course.

So that's about it, yeah. Rock on and all that jazz.
