Kenneth Cheong's profile

Beyond the superficial spikey-hair look that often stereotypes me as a street-bred "Ah Beng", I'm (call me k.C for short) really your typical bilingual personality who likes to believe that he's balancing his world between the civilised and the supposedly coarse people of society (there's been a few knocks, but I'm still fine). Many impactful folks I've encountered in my 20 years tell me I'm very much introverted, and simply can't speak up to save his own life, but I prefer to have the luxury to think things through and better express my thoughts (good and bad) through words later. I certainly don't have any innate writer instincts, but I do hope to carve a niche out for myself in the field of tomorrow's journalism industry, which of course will have to come after donning the helmet and subsequently the square hat. The future aside, I'm an avid fan of cars and driving games, and I do enjoy a session out with my teammates at the local arcades every now and then.
