Why did you study Law, if you're not doing it now?

This is a question I'm still asked, 7 years after graduating with a law degree. Go here for the story.

Do you still do freelance work? Can you design a website for me?

No. I'm a public servant now, and it's my duty to focus fully on my work. Thanks for asking, anyway.

I heard you or your site was mentioned in the papers.

vantan.org has been featured on a few occasions in the Computer Times since 2003 (as it was then known).

In 2006, I was interviewed as the co-founder of the Gahmenbloggers, by the Straits Times political desk. I was also interviewed by Digital Life on the topic of Second Life.
