Hi everyone, Jedd from Singapore here! I'm a die-hard Batman and Star Wars fan, with Justice League TV series reruns taking up my minimal free time (a phenomenon affecting most Singapore schoolboys).
As for other hobbies, I build and photograph Lego models (I own a pretty extensive collection, composed primarily of Lego Star Wars) and am ver much into fanart. Coloured pencils (I use Derwents and Lakelands) are my medium of choice, and my main fanart focuses are the DC Universe, Star Wars and Tomb Raider.
Unlike most teenagers, I do not own any games consoles (X-Box, PlayStation, Gamecube and the like) so I get to play on them only on the rare visits to a friend's house. My Dad does get me bargain-bin PC games on occassion, though, among them the wonderful Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend. Also, I love to write and entertain myself by doing so, writing movie reviews, Lego set reviews and fan-fiction in my spare time. My fanfiction.net profile can be accessed |here. I also do a fair bit of fanart and love to draw even thought I'm not too good at it.
I also have a deep love for music, even if I do not have the talent to match. The classic Broadway musicals always have a little spot in my heart - especially Les Miserables and the amazing Phantom of the Opera. The superb combination of stirring and memorable songs, visual spectacle and awe-inspiring atmosphere make these truly terrific.
I'm a big fan of John Williams and George Gershwin as well, two seminal composers whose music has been carved forever into Americana. From the Raiders March to Rhapsody in Blue, these are tunes which won't soon be forgotten.
