All started from when I was younger, I couldn't speak at all, due to learning difficulties / suffering Autism, but I'm very good on other form of communication such as writing / typing and loves setting up with gadgets / electrical goods such as TV's, video recorders, etc. Only my dad noticed it and decided to buy me a first home computer when I was 6 years old. From there, it worked as my teaching aid and has changed my life...

However, since I got very addicted with using computers a lot and still do, I'm 'programmed' and my mind works like a computer: INPUT - PROCESS - OUTPUT and storing very important things in my mind (archive) like a hard drive -- that's why I can still remember everything / flashbacks since I was a child clearly like as if it was yesterday.

Since I'm technical minded - love doing the long and hard way without taking any shortcuts / cutting corners at all, as well being conscientious person & analytical thinker, my mind is like filtering all the good bits and forgetting all the bad bits - that's what it makes me very unique from other men, sometimes, I'm absent-minded because I've got other things or having ideas coming about something else on my mind, as well a set of my own commands 'self-programming' in my mind.

Note: When you asked me to do something or get something for you, you've to give me very detailed info as possible e.g. if you want me to mix a paint for you, you've to tell me what size, type of paint (Matt, Silk, Gloss and so on), name of the colour first before I mix the paint otherwise I'll be like "What paint? What size of the paint tin?" same thing with cutting the board - give me details first: Measurements, what type & size of the wood you want, otherwise I'll be telling you where are your measurements and what type of wood you want?

So, I used my own ways of finding the drive, enthusiasm, motivation, willpower, inspiration for ideas the hard way are coming from all sorts of various things combined into 1 as follows:

• My own collection of 56 out of 63 Computers
• Various work experiences, voluntary work, household chores that I've done throughout the years - basically I've done it all outside Fitness Industry / Media side of things
• Solved various problems / technical queries from people including rewiring BT phone line - http://bit.ly/pzkVZr, AXA Sun Life - http://bit.ly/L49MN4 as well other ideas & solutions - http://bit.ly/TalNBz
