Who was I?
You know, a long time ago, I was that kid who used to sit at the computer in the library and play games. And many games did I play! Minecraft, fake minecraft, all the io games possible. I was that kid who would do everything to bypass adminstrator perms, and install a whole operating system on the school chromebook, just to enjoy a game. It's crazy how much I've changed.

Well, I guess I'm still that kid, but I've changed a lot. Like so much I couldn't even recognize myself. So this post is dedicated to saving a record of myself on the internet. If something ever happens, I hope you know my story.

Where was I born?
Singapore lah.

What did I do in middle school?
Not much, I had a crush on a girl, and failed to get her attention even with all the sour patch I sold. I tried to become the "sour patch kid". Looking back, it's cringy lol. I tried creating youtube videos but the qualities are that of a middle schooler. I did first robotics which was fun. Oh and mathcounts, for the three years I have been there, I somewhat regret not trying hard enough, but I did appreciate going through the contest, helped a lot with logical skills.

What did I do in high school?
A bit more, I started to get into programming, and learned AP CS from scratch because I couldn't get into the AP CS class (grr my high school). I tried out for symphony for clarinet and created some music. here (the music is quite interesting to say the least).

I invested in both main stream crypto and sh*t coins for fun and growth hacked a decent amount. I might have hit the limit on free food (especially free tpumps lo) at some point. Built an ebike from scratch with money I have earned. Once had an organization with 30 members teaching others how to do non profits and start ups (lol). Oh, I biked to many random places, within 20 miles of school. Plans to bike from south bay to sf one day (if anyone is down message me lol, we should schedule a time).

What did I do in college?
Well I have started a hacker house in SF, dived into a 200ft cave, and chilled in stanford conference rooms.

What do you think has changed?
A lot to be honest. Many people thinks nothing really changed, but inside, I have changed way too much lol. I used to be carefree and very extraverted, but now adopt an mixed lifestyle. I care more about the world and enjoy the stories more. I try to appreciate what I have right now and recognize that I am not perfect. I try to do more and not get dejected by failure.

How do you define true happiness? Do the things you want as long as it confines to the law and your values.

Predetermined or free will? Predetermined. It's against human will though.

FAQ???
