Born to a Cantonese Chinese family in Malaysia in 1971, I was named Wing Keong, means "eternal strength" in the same language. There I grew up till about the age of 11 when I was sent overseas, actually across the straits, to Singapore to be educated and given a chance to be something in life. In time, I found my calling in the technical subjects and made computer programming an easy choice for what I would pursue in college in the United States. I was a professional C programmer for a while, back in Malaysia. Now I work in Silicon Valley at Edify, a software company.
This is my family giving me a send off to California. This picture was taken at the airport A&W. That weird bulge on my chest is my document pouch, by the way, and not some hideous deformity.
