Work Experiences: 
This is still under construction, but I will give you some ideas of my work by listing things I had done below: 

1. My first job was with Fujitsu Singapore Pte Ltd, developing some CCITT Supplementatry services for Fujitsu telephone switch, FETEX-150, used by Singapore Telecom. The greatest achievement (and probably amazing) here was the switch actually worked and has been serving Singapore for the last 20 years, considering tonnes of "spagetti-codes" had been added over some 10-25 years!!

2. MobiLink -- Interfacing MobiTex (data) network to the Internet via X.25. This was my first inroduction to TCP/IP protocol-stack. Unfortunately, the system did not make to the commercial arena, as MobiTex was just not for high volume traffic activities such as web-browsing.

3. METAL -- Mobile Enhanced Transport Protocol. Investigating and improving the TCP's performance over a lossy wireless link by Split-connection approach. One of the main advantages over other Split-connection done by others is that modifications are only done in the base-station's TCP stack, and client is untouched. I had written a paper on this, with TCP's performance measurements and comparisons of several schemes. I will put this here soon.

4. Proxy-router -- This is just a fun-project to develop a proxy-router in Linux, so that I can create my own (dummy) sub-net, as we are running out of IP address. 

5. DelphiPad -- My current project. Still confidential, so can't talk much about it. I'm involved in developing application in Java using the Object-oriented (Use-case) methology.

Interests & Others
Currently, I am doing the followings as hobbies:

1. gardening -- orchids, and money plants. Still learning ...

2. reading -- besides technical articles/books, I read books on Christian faith & living as well. You can listen to a sermon from the church I attend, Faith Community Baptist Church.

3. cycling -- enjoy cycling around Yishun, where I live.

4. swimming -- Still learning (hardly can float), personal coaching from my wife.

5. home-fixing -- I enjoy fixing things in my house. Since most of the Singaporean live in HDB-flat, I find the home-fixing books written in the West are not very suitable for the locals. I am thinking of putting a simple home-fixing volume for the local, such as changing water-tape, door-knob, etc

I'm also reading up on IP telephony stuff, for examples H.323 specifications and related protocols H.225, H.245, RTCP, etc. You can find an implementation of H.323 stack at OpenH323 Project, and a H323 GateKeeper implementation at OpenH323 Gatekeepr. Basically, I am interested in Internet/networking related stuff. I will probably setup a web-page for technical areas that I'm interested in soon.
