Hi, I'm a Singaporean born after 1965 and am an academic. I'm interested in reading, watching films, visiting museums and art galleries, carrying out family history research, and getting involved in heritage activities. Oh, and editing Wikipedia, which I started doing on 15 September 2006.

This user is an art lover.
