User:Sixtybolts: Difference between revisions

I was born one muggy day in Selangor some decades ago. I am old enough to remember Dungeons & Dragons and ThunderCats running across my TV screen but not nearly old enough to have caught the original run of Happy Days.

-I am a [[Malaysian Chinese|Malaysian-Chinese]] male currently pursuing a second [[academic degree]] in the [[United Kingdom]]. I was born in [[Selangor|Selangor Darul Ehsan]] nearly three decades ago; I am old enough to remember ''[[Dungeons & Dragons (TV series)|Dungeons & Dragons]]'' and ''[[ThunderCats]]'' running across my TV screen but not nearly old enough to have caught the original run of ''[[Happy Days]]''.
-==Interests==
-I am interested in matters pertaining to [[history]] and [[religion]], particularly that of [[Malaysia]] and [[China]]. I am also keen on understanding the impact [[colonialism]] has had on modern day [[Ethnic groups|inter-ethnic]] relationships and [[geopolitics]] as well as [[post-colonialism|post-colonial]] responses to such legacies.
-As my penultimate [[Wikipedia:Userboxes|userbox]] indicates, I also practise [[martial arts]] although my understanding of fighting systems, most of which was gleaned at an informal level, is generally more broad than deep. Other than sanshou, I am also a sometime exponent of [[Five Ancestors|Five Ancestors Fist]] and [[Muay Thai]] though to regard myself as anything more than an armchair enthusiast would border on the spurious.
-==Anti-Simpsons==
-I have come to loathe all post-''[[Futurama]]'' episodes of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' — the writers have simply stopped trying (See: ''[[Jumping the shark]]''). Thank goodness [[Seth McFarlane]] is there to catch the comedic slack, along with [[Matt Stone]] and [[Trey Parker]].
