About this Site

Ever since 1997, I’ve always wanted to leave my mark on the Internet by owning my own personal domain. Well it took around eight years for that dream to come true. Come March 2005, I purchased my own domain name ( http://aizatto.com ) and got started. Well ever since I purchased the domain, there isn’t much on it except for my blog. So it isn’t as exciting as I thought it would be. Maybe someday I’ll finally make it look all pretty and everything. But in the meantime, this is all you are going to get. I hope you enjoy it :).

History

I was born over seas in New York City as my dad is a diplomat for Malaysia. Throughout my life I have lived in many different countries, made friends with many different people, and in the process, I am not so sure what I have gained out of it. Some people say I am more open to ideas, other say its a good experience. Nonetheless I don’t fit in my own home country as I have trouble communicating in Malay and are uncertain of Malaysian life/society/customs. Then again with globalization and American pop culture on the rise, I may just have to wait a few years to let it settle in Malaysia, then I can get comfortable.

Current Life

Currently I am pursuing a ‘Bachelors Degree in Computer Science’ at Monash University in Malaysia.

I am a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) advocate in Malaysia, and am actively involved with the FOSS community here.

I was previously employed at the Leading Edge Aviation Planning Professionals as their IT “guy”. When I first started off, I was unsure of how things would turn out. But one year later, I have realized I have learnt alot, and done more than I could have possibly imagined.

peace, aizatto
