It is I, a participant in glow in the dark bowling during the night at Stellar Lanes in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada.

It is I, the subject in the photo, taken in front of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada on New Years Eve (31 December, 2005).

Phil-hong, (known humanly as Phil), is an enthusiast and occasional editor to Wikipedia.

I am a proud Canadian, born with a Chinese background (specifically with links to Chaozhou and Hainan). I had to learn English as a Second Language because the first language I had spoken was Cantonese. Oh well.

My linguistics within Chinese are quite weak, actually. In true filial fashion, I get steamed for pronouncing some words wrong, and I have little knowledge of the "other" main dialect of China, Mandarin. But I'm trying to learn my zhuyin this minute.

[edit] Biography

I was born in York, Ontario (now a part of the City of Toronto) during the wee hours of a November Saturday, but I consider myself a Brampton baby. The U-HAUL was ready and the house was bought on the day I was born, which means that Brampton is my hometown. Eventually, I moved to York Region, where I currently live.

I literally attended Parkway Public School, from Junior Kindergarten all the way to Grade 5 and almost graduated from there but had to move in the end of grade 5. Growing up a book nut, I tempted my investigative aspects of my personality by delving into books there.

I am an avid fan of Adult Contemporary music, and am inspired by singer-songwriters such as Delta Goodrem and Michelle Branch. I take an interest in some Asian cultures (to be specific, Chinese and Japanese), and consider a long trip to Australia part of my to-do list for the near future.

I update/remove dead links, and have to edit some Wikipedia pages due to that fact. It's annoying, but someone's got to do it.

I was, at one time, an editor for a category in the Open Directory Project.

An interesting fact: I like debit cards. You may now call me a freak.

Interestingly enough, I share a birthday with Dr. Sun Yat-sen. And I was born in a year ending in 8. Which lead my family to think I am a lucky child. Which is ludicris. Wouldn't it be kind of contradictory, seeing that I was born on a Saturday? I just hope I resist the keg breaking once in college, striving to be a journalist.
