Finally, the journey begins. Hi everyone. I'd like to introduce myself; my name is Hiresh Tan and I am the founder of this threesome ( no sexual innuendos intended) comprising Fai, Jinn and myself.

I'd like to outline how this organisation has become what it is today. Back in Singapore, it is very common for you to come across many 'Tans', be it in your neigbourhood, workplace or the newsreporter on TV. Go to any classroom in any school and shout, "Can I see Tan please?". At least two heads should turn to the sound of that. If that is not the case, you haven't shouted loudly enough.

Anyway, I decided it would be appropriate to blend in with the majority of society by ensuring that everyone's surname is Tan. Even if your name is James Tan, you'd need to alter it to James Tan Tan. May seem redundant but it's just a mechanism that ensures the system is maintained in an orderly fashion. A small price to pay.

The three of us have come up with this website to expand our network of Tans and convey the truth to the public; the truth being that everyone is necessarily a Tan and needs to accept the reality of it with open arms. By always reminding others of who they are, we hope that they will begin to acknowledge that being a Tan is a unique privilege that will enable them to achieve self-actualisation at a later point in their lives ( Devaser et al. , 2006).

Each of my posts will end with a lame joke that will either make you ponder deeply about the very interesting characteristics of the English language or compel you never to lay eyes on this blog again. The choice is ultimately yours. Just remember that the three of us desire to help you succeed in your individual paths in this 'Tan - infested' world and that our intentions are always good. I reiterate; our intentions are always good.

Finally, the moment all of you have been waiting for. The very first lame joke. What is special about this joke is that the other two Tans, namely Jinn and Fai, have never heard it before. So, hear goes:

Which part of your body has the most fish?
Your shoal-der
