More on Datou
I realize that I neglected to mention what Datou likes to do when he is not enjoying the moonlight with Pei Tze and what he does for a liviing. The most accurate information I have actually dates back to the summer of 2003, before we graduated. Throughout the years, Datou has been a 文武双全 kind of person - working hard and playing hard. When he is not doing geeky stuff on his computer, Datou likes to run, play basketball and take part in outdoor activities like hiking and camping. Some of my best memories are of our camping trips. There are few things better than relaxing around a blazing campfire after a long day of trekking over hills and valleys, across rivers and through forests. Hopefully when he has time, we can go camping again, eh, Datou? Even though the Singapore military mandates that Datou should not undertake any strenuous physical activity, he can complete a 10km run with ease. And when the lift to his flat breaks down, he relishes the 22-storey dash up the stairs. During normal working hours, Datou is a security specialist at the IDA (Infocomm Development Authority) of Singapore, helping to plot, oops, I mean, to plan the current and future manipulation, sorry, progression of IT security and infrastructure in Singapore. If you own a cell/handphone or use the Internet, chances are you have already benefited from his work. Nowadays, Datou is looking into how data-mining, a pet topic of his which he spent countless hours on at Stanford, can help cyber-security and improve life for people on the planet. This is actually a pretty interesting field which I'm sure he'd be happy to discuss with anyone, given the chance. When he is released from his 6-year incarceration, we plan to form a startup and save the world with our technology (and get to live comfortably in the process)!
