| Description | Pang Khee Teik studied in Raffles Institution, Singapore as a teenager (ASEAN Scholarship) and was bullied by other more ambitious Malaysian students. After his A Levels, he came back to KL (where the Malaysians are less ambitious) and studied at Limkokwing Institute. Then became a graphic designer for a Christian youth magazine called Phases. When he started rewriting all their articles, they made him co-editor. His first real writing job was at an online entertainment portal (Octopus.com.my) where he was editor of the Highbrow section. After being retrenched, he contributed to Options (The Edge), V Mag, Men’s Review, The Sun, The Star, East (Singapore), and of course, Kakiseni.com, where he is now editor.
He is responsible for its corny editorials. As a result of his brown-nosing, Pang has managed to facilitate a young writers workshop for Rep21 (which resulted in Reports of Our Deaths Have Been Greatly Exaggerated), act in two plays (Dumb Waiter, Changi) and a movie (Snipers) all directed by James Lee, and even perform a couple of times at Pete Teo’s Songwriters Round. As a photographer, Pang has exhibited four times (with Equator Club at Lot 10 (1995); in conjunction with Thor Kah Hoong's Brickfields Now & Then (1998), notthatbalai at The Lost Generation Space (2004), Art Around 1000 at Valentine Willie (2004)). He also supplements his decadent lifestyle with freelance photography commissions from Harper's Bazaar, Vida, Instant Cafe Theatre (posters for Merchant of Venice, Baltimore Waltz, Survival), etc. He is also a very expressive non-interpretive dancer every weekend on the podium at his favourite club. Up there, he sometimes catches himself fantasising about being omniscient. Meanwhile, Pang pretends to know something about everything, but lives with the constant fear that he will soon be found out. |
