'''Tariq Kamal''' (born ] ]), otherwise known by the ] ] '''T-Boy''', is a not-at-all known ], ], ], ], lifestyle ], all around ], ], ] and ]. He is usually seen around the fringe of ] either cowardly lurking or sassing the general public (to their consternation). Sadly, his inability to resort to proper ], as apparently a hormonal imbalance in his system (thus causing a severe shortage in hormones like ]) means that he is quite unable to do more than sass facetiously and resort to swear words like "dang", and "poot". He is therefore actually quite sad and docile, and, incidentally, fairly attractive to ] who are in need of a general ] and ].

__TOC__

== Personal history before discovering the Internet ==

Kamal was born in Kuala Lumpur, the eldest son of a family of diligent, ] ], who named him after the writer-filmaker ]. He almost immediately began disappointing them, prefering a life of drinking ] and watching episodes of ] instead of doing things that over-achievers his age did, like join ] classes, seducing the neighbourhood ] ] or something, anything really, other than to watch ] and his ''goddamn ] friends'' prance about in a hyper-attenuated ] version of ].

His trend of ] continued into his school years, when he was enrolled in SRK Taman Melawati (now known as SK Taman Melawati ), a ] in ]. Here, the unfortunate coincidence of his name, hitherto unnoticed, become readily apparent. As it was, his first name, ], which, in ], meant 'shining star' is a ] of the Malay word ''tarik'', which means 'to pull'. Thus, not only was Kamal mocked for his liberal, skiving, underachieving ways, but his name was really entertaining to make fun of too, as such brilliant gems of comedy like ] (a popular Malaysian ]) and ''tarik tali''(the Malay name for ]) would demonstrate.

Lesser men would have cracked under the pressure, and spent the coming years broken in soul and spirit, before unleashing their fury in some kind of horrible act of retribution, like a ] or being promoted to ]. Come to think of it, Kamal did break, but the repressive and ] atmosphere of his early years meant that there was no way he could get his instrument of retribution, be it illicit ], ]s or the funding proposal for a project that would determine the course of life of a former tormentor. Instead, he spent the next few years gibbering in the corner until ].

It was during this period when he thought things would look up. Instead of going to some out-of-the way public school, he was being sent to a ] located in the heart and soul of Kuala Lumpur.

Ha. Some hope that turned out to be.

== Discovering the Internet ==

Repeating the course of his life until college at this point would only sound like a ], so we'll skip all of that and jump straight into his discovery of the Internet in ]. For many normal, well-adjusted people, the Internet is a virtual ] of knowledge, information, interaction and activism. It's not surprising, however, to note that Kamal spent the next three or so years obsessively collecting an impressive collection of ], all downloaded from the Internet. It was only after leaving ] did any alternative use of the Internet could be contemplated, and thus records of Kamal's interaction with the online community proper date from this period.

=== Early Interaction in USENET ===

Kamal's was made to soc.culture.singapore, and set the tone of the rest of his communication on the Internet. No, folks, it does not get any better than this. A quick search of this period revealed a overly playful, tremendously na&iuml;ve young man who had set out to... what, one cannot exactly tell. Troll-bait everyone to death? Who knows? It was during this three months, his ], that Kamal learnt the Golden Rule of Internet communications:

<blockquote>
If you have something important to say, for the love of God don't post in public fora like ].
</blockquote>

=== The forum years ===

He then spent the next few years bouncing around ], particularly ones like '''subdimension.net''' (whose pages are archived by the ] ), where he honed his skills on... um, Americans. They were really hard! Honest! They were ] and everything.

Stop laughing!

=== Blogging: A fucking disgrace nipples ===

It is hard to say much good has come from Kamal's foray into blogging. He began his foray during late ], initially setting up a blog , and then moving , after realizing that ''that'''s how you spell "]", dumbass.

While there were a few in this period, but otherwise, his output was a disgrace. It was all ] navel-gazing, with no thought of the ]. It comes as no surprise that luminaries and major blogging Gods like ] have on bloggers like Kamal, and despair of ever making Malaysians educated and well-informed in their dealings with the ] and local ].

There are things Kamal would like to say to Ooi about all his comments about the state of the Malaysian ], but he suspects that half the things he would be suggesting Ooi to do would be illegal, as well as technically physically impossible.

=== LiveJournal: Holy moley, this guy sure joins a lot of shitty communities ===

It cannot be said that Kamal's activities in ] are any better, as he is a member of ]. This makes him a cliquish ] poseur-wannabe, as all members of fandom wank all are, no exceptions. This of course tends to be problematic, as he has a fully-funtional ].

He initially joined LiveJournal out of reluctance, fearing that hordes and hordes of ]-obsessed ] that would allegedly swamp him and turn him gay, and then watch him get it on with some other guy before retiring to their dens of iniquity to write ]. For some reason this hasn't happened quite yet, and Kamal is pleased to report that he is still quite manly and studly and quite willing for the ladies, and there's no doubt that. No sir.

=== Today's role in the Modern Internet ===

He today maintains three presences on the Internet: his , his and ].

As it is, his roles in these areas tend to be closer to the fringe, and thus his feedback is rarely received, much less appreciated. It's probably a good thing that he didn't install any website monitoring software, as the revelation that really, nobody gives a shit about his life would probably be depressing.

=== Contributions to Misplaced Pages ===

Er... there aren't a lot of contributions made in his name. Most of his work tends to be minor corrections and reverts. It should be noted that he tries very hard to make sure that ] is enforced, and treats vandals as quickly and cleanly as possible, even if he gets pissed off with a few of them.



== A Final Note ==

You know, it's really disturbing how easily it is to write in the third person once you get used to it. I can't believe I spent one and a half hours working on this thing. Wow. -] 15:12, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
