Hi! I'm a university student from Singapore with a penchant for music and a habit of doing impressions of my professors for my friends whenever I get bored of the uni grind. In my free time, I enjoy getting knee-deep in dead languages, plonking around on the piano and figuring out how to grow challenging plants, and finding cats around the neighbourhood; how can I help you? :D
