[edit] Biography
"Ariedartin" was born on the 25th of February 1990 in Thomson Medical Centre, the third and youngest child in his family. He was baptised as a Roman Catholic in the Church of the Holy Family.
"Ariedartin" was later enrolled into the Presbyterian Holy Grace Kindergarten at the age of 4 for kindergarten education, where he was educated for some three years in academic basics, such as language and essential skills.
At the age of 6, he was then enrolled into Maris Stella High School (Primary), a Roman Catholic primary school, for primary school education, where he was a student from Primary One to Primary Three. While at Marist Stella High School (Primary), his results were excellent and he consistently scored as one of the top students in class. He regularly competed with some of the class's other top students, but never quite understood why he could never get more than them. Maybe it was due to the fact that their score was 100 marks...
He later transferred to Tao Nan Primary School, a secular Special Assistance Plan primary school, which was far easier to access and was situated nearer, for his next three years of education of Pimary Four to Primary Six. Despite the apparent convenience, however, his results went on a gradual decline, especially concerning his grasp on Chinese, and his weakness in the subject was starting to show in the disparity of his test marks - his Chinese results were notably lower than any other subject. At first, his Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE) preliminary examinations produced an aggregate score of 243 - fairly above average. This would have relegated "Ariedartin" to a life as just another unexceptional student in Singapore's education system, and this was something his parents hoped to avoid. When his actual PSLE results were released, "Ariedartin" had obtained a aggregate of 257, which was a significant improvement from the previous result.
He was originally posted to St. Joseph's Institution, a Roman Catholic secondary school, where he was subsequently posted to its top class. Two of his old Marist Stella High School (Primary) were in the same class as well. However, "Ariedartin" was not satisifed. He stubbornly continued to appeal to get into Raffles Institution, which was perceived as the "cream of the crop".
Eventually, his appeal succeeded and he became a student of Raffles Insitution and no longer of St. Joseph's Instituion. Sometimes, "Ariedartin" would eventually come to regret his hard-headed decision, but that is for other heads to ponder over. "Ariedartin" has been a swimmer in the school team for the duration of his education in Raffles Institution, and opted for a triple science subject combination for his Secondary 3 and 4 education. In November of 2006, he finished his 4 years of studies in Raffles Institution and graduated with 454 others.
He is now studying in Raffles Junior College, where it is said that "the grass is greener, and the skirts too". A joke, of course, but something well-meant especially after having spent four years growing in an all-male student population. This change of environment has been received extremely well and has he has also changed his CCA from swimming to archery, a wholly separate sport in that it stresses mental endurance above physical ability. He has found a dubious "tradition" in the history of the team - in every batch of archers, there shall only be one compound archer. And for his batch, he is apparently that lone compound archer, the rest being recurve archers.
"Ariedartin" is active in the Church of the Holy Family as a choir member and a youth, interested in all manners of Christian theology. He also maintains (he tries to, anyway) a blog at http://ariedartin.blogspot.com/.
[edit] Involvement
"Ariedartin" hasn't actually recorded most of his edits, or even mentally bothered tracking them save for his watchlist. Nonetheless, the few topics of interest to him in Wikipedia are politics (geopolitics, political science), theology (christianity, islam), musical instruments (guitars, organs, cellos) and cars. He used to be interested in helicopters, fighter aircraft and guns during my early days in Wikipedia, but he gradually lost interest as they lacked depth and sophistication. However, he does admit that he just cannot get rid of a certain obsession with cars.
