About Me

Thanks to Dave for doing this whole page… - Pat

Whats your name?

Hi, my name is Patrick Roger Wei-Min Pincon, while my nicks are burn666 and/or ESWAT (don't ask).

How's life so far? What's YOUR story?

Well, I'm 22 years old right now and am currently studying in my final year at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (at Pantai Hospital in the early evening of October 2nd 1980 to be exact) to my French father Jean-Marc Pincon and my Chinese mother Si Hoong Chin.

Hmmm, personal history? Well, my father is quite the expatriate so just after I was born we moved to Colombo in Sri Lanka for a while (I really can't remember ok?) before moving back to Malaysia. I attended a French kindergarten in Kuala Lumpur (I can't recall the name, but I have been told that I hated it) , followed by a stint at Alice Smith School. Halfway through that my family move to Bombay (Mumbai today), India where I went to Christ Church School for about 2 years. After this period we moved back to Malaysia and I finished off my primary school education at Alice Smith again. My secondary school was Garden International School KL (hey y'all!), and after my O levels I chose to go to Canada to further my studies and generally freeze my ass off (although I didn't know it at the time) at Columbia College in Hamilton, Ontario at the tender age of 15. After some of the best years of my life (well one and a half to be exact) I managed to get into MacMaster University to study Sociology. That didn't really work out for me so after a year I decided to make the change and have since been here in Melbourne doing a Bachelors of Banking and Computing (or just Computing now anyway) at Monash University Caulfield (and finally graduating *sigh* Thank God this academic nightmare is almost over).

So what do you do in your spare time?

Spare time? Wtf? Well, let's see… I used to do a lot of Tae Kwon Do back in Canada (juuuust short of red belt). Currently I am doing fencing (epee and sabre being the favourites) as well as kick boxing. Used to do a bit of rock climbing (indoor) and clay pigeon shooting as well but it started getting a tad expensive (or was I getting lazy?). Other than that I'm quite the history buff, especially military history, although I also love reading and going to the movies as well. That and breaking my left arm or sustaining injuries in the stupidest of circumstances. ;p

Also pretty involved in the Union and international students side of things here at uni (all thanks to a certain Nigel Wong!). I've been a director in my International Student Organisation (the OSS), a Student Union (MONSU) executive, organised two Monash Multicultural Night Balls (with Yap Chen Hoe) and am currently involved in the National Liaison Committee here in Victoria. That, and I'm running for a National Union of Students rep position as we speak. In some ways I think I've learnt more in being active as opposed to studying at uni!

How about music?

Well, I pretty much listen to everything from Andrew WK to Connie Francis. I have to admit that living in Melbourne has its advantages - gotta love the music scene here! Now if I could only stop losing my mp3 collection… Damn you Windows! Damn you to hell!!!

How's the love life?

Well, got out of a three year relationship a while back (hmmm, 10 months now) so its pretty non-existent at the moment…

How would you describe yourself?

I don't even know where to begin on this one… Well, one person (who will remain unnamed) put it this way: "A cacophony of contradiction. He's sadistic, morbid and cynical - yet still so downright decent". Meh. Go figure. Personally I thought he had one too many at the time...

Did you really kiss a guy?

Okay, that's it Dave! End of interview!!!
