Phil-hong, (known humanly as Phil), is an enthusiast and occasional editor to Wikipedia.
I am a proud Canadian, born with a Chinese background (specifically with links to Chaozhou and Hainan). I had to learn English as a Second Language because the first language I had spoken was Cantonese. Oh well.
My linguistics within Chinese are quite weak, actually. In true filial fashion, I get steamed for pronouncing some words wrong, and I have little knowledge of the "other" main dialect of China, Mandarin.
Since 1999, I have been a web designer with focus on raw HTML; the first webpages I coded were on a public computer at a Brampton Public Library branch. As bullies were teasing my old Primary school and there was not much else to do as a child, websites were my focus. Flash is still new to me, and probably out of my ability for at least the near future.
Biography
editI was born in York, Ontario (now a part of the City of Toronto) during the wee hours of a November Saturday, but I consider myself a Brampton baby. The U-HAUL was ready and the house was bought on the day I was born, which means that Brampton is my hometown. Eventually, I moved to York Region, where I currently live.
I am an avid fan of Adult Contemporary music. I take an interest in some Asian cultures (to be specific, Chinese and Japanese), and a long trip to Australia was (an accomplished) part of my to-do list.
I was, at one time, an editor for a category in the Open Directory Project.
Interestingly enough, I share a birthday with Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
