Introduction
Hello~ I'm a 21 year-old guy from Vancouver. I've just finished my third year in university studying graphic design, programming, and 3D animation. I'm also gay.
I'm Singaporean/Chinese, but I was born in Canada, so I'm quite the banana.
I like all sorts of anime - action, drama, comedy, romance, etc. My favourite would probably be Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu mainly because of the way the plot unfolds, as well as what the story deals with. I'd often given much thought to such topics prior to watching it.

Random Facts (about me)
■ I'm about 5'11" and weigh ~150 lbs.
■ I attend Simon Fraser University.
■ I place great importance on logic and reason.
■ I'm a wee bit of a perfectionist.
■ I'm monolingual, but I can understand a little bit of Mandarin, Japanese, Singlish (if you've heard it, you'd consider it a separate language as well) and a Singaporean dialect I don't know how to spell in English.
■ That dialect was actually my first language; I didn't know English until around kindergarten (I cried my way through preschool because I couldn't understand anything T__T). I've now forgotten the vast majority of that dialect (BAD ME! Always remember your native tongue!).
■ I have a Shih Tzu named Winston. That was his name when we got him. He's white and brown.
■ I have a younger brother. He's four years my junior.
■ Although I'm 21, I don't own an mp3 player, cell phone, or car (three of the four most sought after possessions of my friends). Neither do I want them.
■ The fourth possession is a laptop, but I have that. It's all I use ^^. ...Even though it's a discontinued lemon model.
■ I don't usually use a mouse. I was coming down with carpal tunnel syndrome in my previous semester from working too much on Flash and Max/MSP, so I've purchased and made the switch to a Wacom tablet.
■ I don't intend on ever getting married.

Random Facts (about my account)
■ I do not, have never, and will never give or accept donations. I worked for what I have.
■ I make my money in the marketplace running a store (and I love doin' it).
■ I'm often on a treadmill while I'm money-making. I set up a plank to put my laptop on top of =P.
■ My two avatar themes have two servants: a Shadow Spirit named Yoru and a Pixie named Hikari.
■ Yoru means "night"; Hikari means "light".
■ I chose their names because they fit the avatars I paired them with; however, together, they also make a "night light".
■ The thought process that resulted in my username began with one of my favourite animes - Fullmetal Alchemist.
■ I was translating the seven deadly sins to Japanese, and picked the one that had a balance between appearance and truthfulness. I ended up with greed; I'm greedy =D.
■ Greed in Japanese is "akogi". Unfortunately, it was taken, so I just used the first half "ako".
■ I'm not really sure where "Yu" came from; I just wanted to find a syllable that suited the first.
■ The "a" in "ako" is lower case and the "Y" in "Yu" is capitalized because I'm a programmer (if you're a programmer, you'll know why).
