Hi, my name is Boon Aik Tan (pronounced as (i)English: Boon Egg Ton; (ii)Mandarin: Chen Wen Yi; and (iii)Cantonese: Chan Mun Yik). Anyway, everybody can just call me Boon. That's easy enough, isn't it?I am a 3rd generation of Malaysian Chinese born and raised in Malaysia. Petaling Jaya, a satellite city of our capital - Kuala Lumpur, was where I spent 18 years of my life at.
Well, since I am still at the very beginning step in building this homepage up, I guess I have pretty much covered my personal info here. More details about myself will be on the page later. Meanwhile, if you are interested in knowing more about me, or have any comments on this website, please feel free to contact me. Again, thanks for visiting my webpage. Have a nice day!

In Malay, Kuala Lumpur, or KL in short, means a muddy land. Yes, when this place was first dicovered, it was merely a land full of mud. After 100 years of development, it has finally been transferred to what it is today - a beautiful, gorgeous and friendly modern metropolitan. KL is now the home to the world's tallest building - Petronas Twin Towers, and the world's third tallest telecommunication tower - KL Tower!
