Alvin is a 100% geek who spends a lot of time surfing the web.
He has a First Class Honours degree (no kidding, he was a geek even at school) in Communication Studies from Wee Kim Wee’s School of Communication and Information (WKW SCI), Nanyang Technological University (NTU). However, Alvin is a late bloomer who studied in a neighbourhood secondary school and JC. He scored a mediocre aggregate of 245 for PSLE, unlike Singapore’s blogging queen,, Xiaxue, who boasts a PSLE aggregate of 269.
After graduating, Alvin accepted a scholarship from OgilvyOne (Singapore) and started his working life as a graphic designer. Thereafter, he dabbled working with online youth e-zine, UBERTURE as an Art Director and local youth portal, YOUTH.SG as the Portal Manager. Alvin was also one of the designers in THE SIMPLE FOLKS. Proficient in both English and Mandarin, Alvin is currently an online marketing manager with OMY.SG, Singapore’s first bilingual lifestyle and entertainment news portal.
Alvin enjoys the typical geeky stuff – reading random nuggets of gossip facts you find on the web; watching tonnes of movies and DVDs – be they good or bad; collecting old cartoons and toys he couldn’t afford when he was younger; accumulating truckloads of Japanese manga, Marvel and Dark Horse graphic novels; doing random illustrations, a graphic design or a video…
The list goes on.
In short, Alvin has a short attention span and his mind keeps wandering all over the place at any single moment. That’s why he likes the Internet as it allows his scatter-brained nature to showcase itself best.
Do drop Alvin an email at alvinologist@gmail.com if you want to contact him. You can also add him on MSN via dragaz@hotmail.com or find him at his Facebook account. Females are more welcome than males of course. 
Have a great day and thanks for reading Alvin’s profile.
