I used to have a autobiographical page on this site; I removed it because I didn’t really see any purpose in spilling my life story to employers or random lurkers. Now that I’ve written 34 posts, I feel like I should attempt to be more self-indulgent and re-introduce myself (that and I am bored out of my mind right now). Here’s are n facts about me that came to mind where n is a natural number greater than 0.
- In grade 8, I did a class presentation on Frida Kahlo in which I talked about the my adoration for her painting My Birth
- I was wonderfully raised with two younger siblings (one of which has autism, and the other is, dare I say, more intelligent than me) by a single-mother
- I went to Vietnam once when I was 16
- When applying to unviersity, I only applied to computer science programs (I never dishona famiry)
- I cannot cook at all
- I am very nearsighteded
- I wore braces throughout highschool, and should wear my retainers more often
- I put fish sauce and Sriracha sauce in everything I eat
- I taught my sister how to ride a bike by tricking her to crash through our basement window
- I ran a sticker-stealing ring in pre-school
- The first programming language I taught myself was JavaScript (in Grade 6)
- I used to be obsessed about a band called Evanescence (I created fansites, adorned my bedroom walls with Amy Lee’s face, and went to every concert they had in Toronto) – so hardcore lulz
- I COULD EAT JUST SAMOSAS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
- I listen to Gangsta Rap when I am programming

That’s all I could think of without revealing too much 😛
