Thinking back, I really did create a lot of names, most of them to look for pen-pals in magazines. Well, one day... I was looking for a name, haha... and I happened to be watching a Japanese cartoon, Dash Yankuro. I thought, Dash sounds cool. But just a little too short. Then I decided to add Ken to it. Good enough. Since then, I've been using this name to create the online "ME". There was once when I was in MIRC, someone said Dashken sounded like Indian. I was like... wtf? Your age? Young enough.

I almost never go to the technical sections like mobo, graphic card, etc. Mostly News, General Hardware, Photography and Lounge. Discovered it through: Peaz. He showed me to his 16x LiteOn CDRW review a long time ago. Fondest memory/Best thing about ARP? Found and met so many funny people of course! Complete the slogan, "I love ARP because..." it's like a second home, great people, great environment, great friends! One thing you'd like to see on the site: Different reviews posted everyday and hundreds of forumers in the forum at one time. Err... maybe not the latter one. If that happened, I don't think I'll EVER have enough sleep. But seriously, I would love to see ARP really big one day. What does "tree" and "leaf" mean in the ARP forums? Hmm... some of the people in the forum started them I think. Those old days... Oopps, sorry... your question, it was actually from a story about tree, wind and leaf. Hey, just found it. Read it here! In the forums, people keep talking about your "pink folder". What is it? And what's in it? Errr... errr... How to answer la? Ok, it's mostly filled with *ahem* cds and it's just a coincidence that I put them in a pink folder. how many titles you have in your pink folder? Errr... I have more than 25 cds, all downloaded stuff. How many pink folders do you have? Only one. Good stuff no need so many one. Why pink folder? Well, just a coincidence actually. I happened to bought two new folders, one yellow and one pink. So, since the pink is a little striking, easier for me to identify it, that's why I put those *ahem* stuffs in it. What is *ahem* *ahem*? Movies that little kids shouldn't watch? What is your favourite P2P software? ABC, Kazaalite and Shareaza! What do you download most from the Internet? Good, interesting, exciting movies. Yeah, and those kind "that kids shouldn't watch" too. Games too. Errr... isn't this illegal? Can talk about this here? What games are you playing now? Now? Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and also Hitman Contracts. What's this famous belacan chicken you are talking about? It's a stall not far away from my house. Selling the best belacan fried chicken I ever had. I took Adrian and Jenny there once. They even ordered two take-aways... No idea what is belacan? Just found a link for you... here! You are the top poster in the ARP forums! How do you do it?! Please give us some tips! Well, post like crazy! 40 posts per day will do. And post like that for 1 year everyday. Even if ppl like Chai threatened to ban you, don't care. The trick is to just POST! I'm not kidding, that's what I really did nearly one year ago. Anything you want to tell rojakpotters? We live only once (AFAIK), respect others and get the most out of life. Never give up! Who is your favourite forumer? Da Boss? Adrian Wong : Why?? Dashken : Ohh.. Cause his posts are interesting. Adrian Wong : Seriously! Dashken : Yeah la! Life as a big picture What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? Look at my mobile phone, set the alarm to 1/2 hour later, then continue sleeping. If I had a lot of money, I would... Take my family on a NICE vacation. If I had the time, I would... Take the time to do what I love and spend it with my family. What inspires you? Adrian Wong. Adrian Wong : Why?? Dashken : Cause he's optimistic and always has wise words to give... Adrian Wong : SERIOUSLY!! Dashken : Aiyo!! I'm telling you the truth la.. Adrian Wong : Lifetime goals? Nothing much, I hope one day I could live happily with the ones I love with no problems and no worries about money. Well, hope I will find a person that I love the most and live happily ever after. What do you look for in a girl? Understanding and compatibility. Do you believe in true love? Or do you believe love is just a basic instinct? True love, no doubt! Until then. see you on the other side! Who are you going to interview? Chai!!
Omigosh , your favourite book is A Knight in Shining Armor? I can barely remember what the story is about.. you read romance novels? LOL.. YES! Hm.... Totally agreed.. very wise, Spam Lord!
Did you guys notice that it's Dashken's birthday too? On the same day I posted his interview! Very nice timing, I must say.. Hehe.. So, again.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DASHKEN!
Huh? Really ar? Damn...I'm going to struggle to answer a lot of questions, especially those concerning my aims and future...
ah chai... it's all for the fun of it mah im pretty sure you'd be able to answer it all.. and more! but back to dashky.... 1) are you considering moving away from family?
2 questions for Dashky 1)Without knowing you in person and by reading your posts, it does gave the impression that you are menacing but interesting...just like the Garfield character which I painted you much earlier. Honestly, could you comment on the degree of correlation? How do you rate yourself there? 2)Being the 'Lord of the spam', what do you see as the most memorable feeling in achieving that? Do you derive satisfaction level from your posts and how? Am I asking too much?
Nope! I think you are letting him off pretty easily! Come, bombard him with ALL your questions! Dashken, are you developing an interest for anyone right now?
Yeah, but everyone's asking me why move away? But well, have to see what's in the future. Currently I think I will stay with this job. Maybe in a year time I may consider somewhere else. I really want to try living alone. Eh, which Garfield? Can post again? Err... well, yeah, I guess I give people impression that I'm fun and interesting online. But you'll be so surprise (like some of them that actually met me ) when you see me in flesh. I'm so unlike my "online" self. Adrian said the "online" me is the real me. Hmm... maybe true, maybe not. It's just that, I find it hard to break the ice. And very self concious of my spoken English. Even though many said my English has nothing wrong. Hmm... did I answer your question? Initially, it was fun to see my posts climbing each day. It was fast, and it was fun. 40-50 posts a day. Everyone was saying I was crazy. I actually like numbers... to see my posts going up each day, overtaking one by one, the top posters... were fun. And watching their reactions were hillarious too. Hmm... I still don't know why I posted like crazy last time. And I don't know why I was so happy. Guess it's a feeling at that moment in time. But you forget all about it after the moment has passed. You forgot how you felt... Now, I only post once in two days. Hmm... Nope... Coz you guys never introduce me to any girls. How to develop interest la... Keep those questions coming. Have more? It's fun talking rubbish.
If you did, where would you want to live? Dashken, that's the REAL you, just waiting to break out! Everyone, Dashken is so shy because he thinks his English is bad. Man.. Do you really think we speak Queen's English? ROTFL! Even my English can be classified as Manglish at best! So, don't be so self-conscious and just be the REAL Dashken! Yeah, you were amazing, man! That's a REAL shame. Hah.. We did. But you were just so shy. But hey, tell us what your MINIMUM requirements for a girlfriend and we will hook you up!
