Who I am and what I do is pretty obvious from my edits.

I am an organometallic chemist, thus I am pretty familiar with both organic and inorganic chemistry. Like many other OM chemists, I use a Schlenk line and other air-free techniques. Chemistry is my interest and passion, and I spend most of my editing time here.

Previously, I served my National Service in the Singapore Army, as an infantryman. In my time, I was thoroughly familiar with small arms and small unit tactics. Such topics remain interests of mine, but I rarely edit these sort of articles now.

I am also interested in foreign affairs and current events, but I rarely attempt to edit such articles which are beyond my expertise.

I have been nominated by User:Tim Vickers and User:Fvasconcellos for adminship.

[edit] Barnstars, etc.

For putting two columns on Military brat, I didn't know how to do that, and it looks significantly better that way! Balloonman 16:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Rifleman, please accept this star in appreciation of all your hard work in improving the chemistry/chemical articles on wikipedia which has not gone unnoticed! -- Quantockgoblin 14:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
The da Vinci Barnstar
I just wanted to say thanks for creating and using chem-awb to cleanup and tag so many chemistry and pharmacology articles. It has helped quite a bit. --Ed (Edgar181) 09:33, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
