: About Me

Hi,

I am a biological science student at the University of Western Australia, currently undertaking post-grad studies.

I grew up in Singapore but moved to Perth as a teenager. As such, my experiences were shaped by that culture shock.

When I first entered uni in 2003, a new world was opened up for me! I was able to survive as (alas) a bit of a drunkard, but that phase has passed.

In 2006 I got enlisted into the Singapore Armed Forces. Again such a drastic change brought out another side of me - a more physically superior, in shape, disciplined individual.

My interests (and therefore writings) are widely varied. I enjoy writing as a hobby! I wrote articles for papers, and book reviews as part of my service in the armed forces!

I write about topics such as fitness, nutrition, alcoholism, environmentalism, politics, education, as well as whatever else tickles my fancy!

I hope you enjoy my work!

Sincerely
Mark

Pollution does not just occur per se. There are various underlying causes that should be addressed. We must look at the origins of this problem in order to solve it. Just like a traditional chinese medicine physician would study the source at its most basic level, so should we. While the media and environmental groups are always bombarding the western world with the idea that they are the major causes of pollution, this may ...
