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!

My Schools

Primary School

(Jan 84 ~ Nov 88)
Sungai Way Primary School (Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Sungai Way) is about 15 minutes walk from my house. This was also the school where my parents and all my sisters went to. Nothing much really happened during my five-year-primary-school-life there. I lost contact with all my friends there except my cousin, who is a couple months older than me and happened to be my classmate.

Secondary School

(Jan 89 ~ Nov 94)
Founded in A.C.1906, Confucian Private Secondary School is located at downtown of Kuala Lumpur. It is the second oldest and one of the only sixty Chinese independent high schools in Malaysia. In Chinese, the name of the school, Zun Kong means "respect the Confucius", however, it's not related to this great ancient Chinese philosopher at all.

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!
