Hello all. I do not wish to reveal my real name, but you know my user name as Russianroulette2004. I am sixteen years old and am currently residing in Singapore. I am now in Junior College. I joined this community sometime in June 2005. My three other best friends who are also contributors to Wikipedia are Teo Calvin, Goh Wei Zhong and Teo Kah Hou.
[edit] Academic Interests
My interests are varied. In school, I have exceptional aptitude in Chemistry and Mathematics. I hope to become a scientist or a businessman in the future. Despite my immense interest in these two fields, I have not contributed any article with relation to them on Wikipedia, as I feel that I do not have all the specific details on them, and some of them are already well-written and corroborate with what I read.
I read up books during my spare time, such as guides to General Paper, Organic Chemistry by L. G. Wade Jr. and Mathematical Olympiad books.
[edit] Other Interests
Below highlights several of my other interests, well though I am pretty not very interested in the technical details:
Good aspects of the MTR include the dynamic in-train map (which SMRT tries to imitate with a similar but cheaper variation), retrofitting of a few of its M Stock into its dedicated Disneyland Resort Line trains and its efficiency.
- Exploring and travelling - I have kind of explored Singapore in various ways over the years. During my spare time, I sometimes go for joyrides around Singapore on the buses and trains. Some examples include:
- 1. Taking bus service 88 to view Hougang (January 2003)
- 2. Taking bus service 28 to view Circle Line works at Upper Paya Lebar Road (late 2003)
- 3. Taking a joy ride with Calvin on the North South Line and East West Line to CG2 Changi Airport (7 November 2004)
- 4. Taking a joy ride with Calvin on the North South Line to NS27 Marina Bay (2005)
- 5. Taking bus service 156 with Calvin and Yuan ChengXiang to get to NUS (below transferring to 96) (2006)
- 6. Taking a joy ride on the Punggol LRT East Loop to view developments in Punggol (21 May 2006)
- 7. Walking from EW15 Tanjong Pagar to NE1 HarbourFront while exploring Cantonment Heights and Vivocity, then under construction (24 June 2006)
- 8. Walking from National Library to EW15 Tanjong Pagar to view One Raffles Quay, then also under construction (August 2006)
- 9. Taking bus service 147 with Calvin to get a taste of the B9TL and simultaneously explore Bukit Merah and Serangoon (9 November 2006)
- 10. Taking a joy ride on the Sengkang LRT West Loop to view the North East Line depot and the side platforms at SW5 Fernvale (24 November 2006)
- 11. Taking bus service 157 to get to NUS (below transferring to 151) (9 January 2007)
- 12. Taking bus service 86 from Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange to Jalan Kayu to have a meal of roti prata, after which I took the Sengkang LRT at SW4 Thanggam (11 February 2007)
Somehow they coincide with Calvin's interests. lol!
I learnt Contract Bridge before I turned 16. While I had previously played Floating Bridge before, Contract Bridge really requires more skills and intelligence in order to make the contract, whilst Floating Bridge usually hinges upon luck. I cannot be considered as an advanced or professional player, as I am still learning the various skills such as correctly bidding and playing each trick.
Before playing the real version, I used to visit Shockwave.com and Yahoo! Games to play eight-ball billiards. However, they do not provide me with the necessary skills and techniques to play the proper version of billiards, though I am equipped with the rules thereafter. I play pool once in a while with my friends for entertainment purposes, and my skills are average.
[edit] Wikipedia and me
During my spare time, I will read articles on Wikipedia with regard to the MTR or the Singapore MRT. I have contributed my self-created map (edited by Kah Hou and Meow.wang) for the article on Singapore MRT and also various sister articles such as the rolling stock on the MRT articles:
In addition, I have launched various sub-articles with regard to the Mass Rapid Transit system and the complementary Light Rapid Transit system. I am happy to be able to contribute my knowledge and experience from taking the MRT since I was four onto this public-based encyclopedia.
Other than the MRT and LRT, I have edited other articles where I have first-hand accounts or experiences.
[edit] Contacts
To avoid Spambot, a program designed to collect e-mail addresses from the Internet in order to build mailing lists for sending unsolicited e-mail, please ask it on the discussion page and identify yourself. I will consider whether to give you my e-mail then.
