Mr Ong had come to know about the contest through his 25 year old son, who encouraged him to participate in the contest. The 69 year old is actually an active internet user listening to music and reading news reports online daily. Mr Ong firmly believes that engaging in activities on the internet helps to keep his mind active. Apart from the above activities, Mr Ong also maintains his own personal blog at http://kokwah-ong.livejournal.com.

To all the seniors who are looking to pick up blogging, Mr Ong would like to encourage them by saying Dont be afraid! Blogging is actually very easy to learn!
