Who I Am
Hello! My name is Jeryl Koh (aka Blaziker), currently in his mid-20s. By day, I work as an auditor, making sure your financial accounts truly represent your company’s performance. However, by night (and also the weekends), I enjoy exploring the world of animation, providing reviews of recent or past animated movies or opinions and essays on animation-related material. Sometimes, I will also share short stories and other literacy works, whether through this website or through Wattpad, and also share some life stories and other stuff. I had just completed finishing my long-time Rock Dog fanfiction series called “Mengcheng Dreaming”, available on Wattpad and Archive of Our Own, with their soundtracks available on Spotify and YouTube.
While I am currently studying for my ACCA qualification, I am also looking for a future career in the animation industry, working for a reputable animation blog or website where I can share opinions on animated movies, shows and trends, as well as to explore the evolving world of animation. I also wanted to explore the ethics of working in the animation industry, where it is essential that animation crew members are given proper working environments and work benefits to ensure the health, safety and confidence of these members in giving their best to produce great-quality animation across the world.
