2) Tell us briefly about your family (parents? number of siblings?)
My dad was born in Hong Kong and my mom is from Singapore, but interestingly enough, they met in Wales. By now they’ve spent more than half of their lives in Canada.

Well, 2008 has left the building, and 2009 is in the house! Happy New Year Tazzu, and thank you for a fantastic 2008!!
Here is a brief 2008 recap:
Tazzu either sponsored or hosted…
- * Several Networking Events
- * Joomla DemoCamp
- * Joomla DocCamp
- * Vancouver JoomlaDay
- * Vancouver WordCamp (WordPress)
The Tazzu forum now has over 350 users with over 15,000 posts.
What lies ahead for Tazzu in 2009?
The development of the new infrastructure for Tazzu 2.0 is still well underway. This newly developed version will offer more enhanced collaboration and networking tools for community members. We’ve not set a date yet as to when it will be released… we’ll keep you in suspense a little longer.
Requests have been made for more learning opportunities re: WordPress and Joomla CMS
Rastin and I will be meeting tomorrow to discuss other ideas… so stay tuned.
Once again Happy New Year Tazzu, may this year bring each of us much success and happiness!
