Well - coming to this page certainly proves you intrigued to what the Khong Brothers, Khong Yee Jun, Jian and Juan actually have been doing these past years. Well, in a nutshell they do everything normal youngsters do:

• Eat (normal food and water; not nuts, bolts and oil!)

• Sleep (as in getting some Zees [ZzZz]; not plug in & charge!)

• Play (using a mouse, keyboard and monitor; not plugging into the 'Matrix'!)

• Exercise (gym, lift weights, jogging, swimming, etc; not typing and soldering!)

• Study (not downloading knowledge); Jun and Jian both got full scholarships!

• Listen to music (e.g. Linkin Park, Akon, Rihanna, LMFAO, etc; not beeps and blips!)

• Direct (Jun & Jian are now Directors of Creative Robotics Education Sdn Bhd)

However, besides those so-called luxuries, they also make good use of their spare time. Check out the (seriously concise) list of their activities below - it would've taken many gigs (Gigabytes, GB) of memory - about 140GB to be precise - to fully document all of their achievements & activities (in other words, Jun's Aperture library).

Hence, to keep this page manageable, we've only included the most prominent activities/ achievements here.

In 2004, they took part in their first international competition: the World Robot Olympiad (WRO 2004 - for more info, Google it) - held at the Marquee in Singapore. They were only 16 and 13 at the time, but they won the EXCELLENCE AWARD - something very impressive considering the fact that they built the award-winning MiBO, the 55cm tall humanoid Rhythmic Gymnastic robot all on their own without help from others!

In 2005, the Khong Brothers returned in the WRO 2005 - held in Bangkok, Thailand this time. Their participating robots? - a pair of 60cm tall, autonomous bipedal humanoid walking robots dubbed The Martians (their project was named The Mars Invasion).

The Martians could walk forward, backward and even turn to the left and right. They had moving arms and could turn their heads to look at the audience. They even held custom-built glowing LED Martian light sabers (LED + liquid in a plastic tube). The result - they beat a number of countries and obtained the SILVER AWARD (you could say 2nd best in the world in their category at that time), losing by a stone's throw away to China!!!

In 2006, the Khong Brothers - retiring from the hectic world of international competitions - helped train a team to participate in the WRO 2006; held in Nanjing, China this time. The team obtained an Excellence Award. In the same year, Jun was invited to give tips and tricks to about 70 Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM) teachers during a workshop to prepare them and their students for the International Robot Olympiad (IRO 2006) held in Gold Coast, Australia.

Let's not forget - Jun was only 18 at that time. He was then invited to train and accompany a pair of elite MRSM teams to Australia! One of the teams proceeded to winning GOLD for the Vision Robot mission, while the other team won the BEST HUMANOID AWARD for the humanoid robot Jun helped them build (seems like Jun is good at building Humanoids). ;)

In 2007, the Khong Brothers shone once again when they helped a team from Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Megah (SKTM) win a SILVER AWARD in the WRO 2007 once again! This time, the competition was held in the Chien Tien Activity Center, Taipei, Taiwan. Jun accompanied them to the competition as a mentor.

In 2008, Creative Robotics™ Teams (around 8 teams) took part in the NRC (National Robotics Competition) 2008 and won many awards, including multiple GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE and EXCELLENCE Awards. Among the students representing CR8® was none other than Khong Yee Juan, the youngest Khong Brother.

Returning with even more teams in 2009, CR8® Teams won GOLD and the MOST INNOVATIVE CONCEPT Award in the NRC yet again in the Open Category (which requires creative thinking, logical thinking, problem solving and engineering concepts). Juan's team - with him as the team leader - was the proud winner of some shiny trophies, medals, certificates and a LEGO set!

Suffice to say that the Khongs (now with the whole Khong family involved) now JUDGE and HOST their own national and international competitions under their brand name, CR8®. (See Activities page). Jun has even been invited to be a JUDGE in the Open Category for the IRO 2009 Korea. CR8® also presented in the EROFA 2009 (http://erofa.or.kr/).

Microsoft® invited the Khong Brothers to present the Kodu Game Lab to the world during the 7th Asia Pacific Regional Innovative Forum (REIF) in the JW Mariott, Phuket, Thailand (it was a BLAST, all expenses paid and our bus even had law-defying police escorts!). Microsoft® Brunei also invited CR8® to present the Kodu Game Lab in Microsoft® Brunei HQ.

In 2011, Creative Robotics™ evolved into Creative Robotics Education Sdn Bhd, a private limited company with Jun (23) and Jian (20) as Directors. These young Directors now dedicate a lot of their time and effort in nurturing and developing their company. In June 2011, CR8® BR (Bukit Rimau) was opened, the first CR8® Business Partner.
