Quick introduction:
Dota 2 noob (I BLAME SLOW INTERNET SPEED), master of causing blackouts and active Communist. Oh, and devout Muslim. Osu! touchscreen tryhard (shifting to tablet soon). People actually read this?
Jokes aside:
>Name: Nick Siow
>Gender: Male
>Age: 14
>Birthday: 15 Sept
>Malaysian studying in Singapore
>Proficient in English, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional), Malay, Korean (I CAN ONLY READ KOREAN DON'T ASK)
>Location: Malaysia/Singapore (Either way, GMT+8)
>Hobbies: Piano. Osu! Reading. Video games. Not studying.
>Music: Classical ftw. No joke. J-pop. Pop (EXTREMELY SELECT FEW BECAUSE FUCK ENGLISH POP AMIRITE)
>Favourite anime: Too many to list. Slice of life ftw
No qualms revealing my personal info above (as long as it's not too personal), plus Nick technically isn't my real name but everyone calls me that so whatever (not on birth cert lel).
Some more info TL;DR
Will freelance stuff I like. Able to translate rather fluently (I hope) from Chinese to English and vice versa (maybe not so much for the latter). Feed me raws and I feed you translations. I play a lot of anime music, idols: Animenzzz, Tehishter, marasy8, The Piano Guys
Why the username Venis? Weeellllllllll I actually use the name VenisPagina or something like that a lot but I figured I wouldn't be wanted to be remembered as that weird arse who uses a sexual name for his translations so yeah I "censored" it to this
Translating stuff
Currently working on No Game No Life - Volume 5 (update: Volume 4 as well) and might eventually help out with Henneko. Kantoku is god of moe.
Maybe Kagerou Days? In love with Kagerou Project as of now. 文乃幸福の理論 still makes me want to cry every time I hear it. JIN PLS REVEAL MORE DETAILS - wait sorry I got a bit carried away heh.
Update: Working on Kagerou Days now. I appear to be the only active translator. *cracks knuckles**stretches**buys tons of red bull*
Update 10/06/14: A KIDO COSPLAYER RECOGNIZED ME AT AN ANIME FAIR OwO *enters semi-fanboy mode*
Something is tempting me to work on Noucome. Maybe later. This endless wait for Kagerou Days to be approved to full project is making me incredibly paranoid. (Update 12/06/14: Thanks guys for making K-Days full project! Feels good to know I've been contributing XD)
Update 24/06/14: Kagerou Days is licensed. Now proceeding to work on NGNL/HenNeko. Received requests from people to work on Hataraku Maou-sama,Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden and Kenshin no Keishousha. Personally I feel like working on Noucome as well. Oh well, I'm just gonna take this one day at a time :3
Update 31/08/14: The news is in people. No Game No Life and Hataraku Maou-sama are gonna get licensed among other things. Is my luck really that bad for two projects that I've put like two volumes into each get licensed within 3 months of me being active on this site? Seriously considering uploading my translations to a personal blog or something (for licensed things only, of course). It's not really that I'm whining about my stuff getting removed, but more of the fact that I think we should at least get some credit in the official publishing as well for actually having a hand in the translating community and increasing the popularity of those light novels. So I'm probably going to be rather slow until mid-October since finals are coming, will continue Henneko and might find something else. See you all around.

Status/Schedule
School now D:
UPDATE 9th JULY '14
Sooooo I got a new com. Wanna know what's so good about that? I get to translate more. So without further ado, I present to you HenNeko Volume 2 Chapter 1. heuheuhue
As of 28th July
really busy with school stuff so i think i'm gonna be slower for now sorry guys orz
31st August
Since NGNL is gonna get licensed and removed eventually there's no point in me continuing anything related to it after Volume 5. Might upload prior translations somewhere else since I keep an archive of all my previous translations. Finals coming up and I'll only get back to my usual pace after mid-October. Will work on Henneko and maybe something else in the interim.
