A 20-year-old based in Singapore. As an explorer at heart. I am always eager to embrace new experiences and explore diverse interests. This platform is where I share some of my passions and journey with you.
In the Admin department, we prepared camp booklets, organized documents, and collaborated with other departments on daily agendas. As part of the Planning Committee, we also facilitated the event, ensuring smooth operations. This enhanced my organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
After each day and at the very end of the camp, we discussed and reflected on our performance, evaluating areas of improvement and sharing personal takeaways from our experiences. Learning from each other's experiences and improving my self-awareness.
The Monitors Committee bridges the gap between teachers and students. Our responsibilities included maintaining order in classes and corridors before morning assembly, as well as organizing events like the Class Committee Workshop and Teachers' Day Celebrations. As Head of the MC, I learned to delegate tasks effectively, balance leadership with friendships, and embrace my mistakes.
As Michael House Secretary, I created activities like having ASLs use available resources to form the longest line, challenging their creativity, an important quality for their development. I also designed content for our Instagram page. These tasks strengthened my leadership and creativity, while encouraging teamwork and problem-solving among others.
As a House Leader, I worked with other leaders who had strong opinions. I learned to step back, listen, and manage differing views to prevent conflicts. Together, we experimented with different approaches to create practical and meaningful activities for incoming Sports Leaders. Additionally, I experienced situations that require me to think on my feet, making the most of what I had to overcome challenges.
Music has always been a source of comfort for me. I started learning piano at a young age, participating in competitions that helped build my confidence and comfort in the spotlight. I was honored to be a finalist in the Happy Music Festival 2024 and the 5th Amason Pop Piano Competition. This journey developed my patience and resilience. In my free time, I taught myself the ukulele and guitar to play the songs I love.
In 2024, I attended the Animenz Live Asia Tour, a piano concert featuring Joselson Brahms' 2 Piano Concertos, and "My Motherland & Chopin" with Hao Rao. Their powerful performances were deeply inspiring and reinforced my passion for music. By observing their dedication and skill, I gained valuable insights that I now apply to my own playing.
I turn to drawing whenever I feel a lack of creativity. It helps me express my thoughts and ideas while stimulating my imagination. Drawing sharpens my attention to detail, improves my precision, and brings a sense of pride and satisfaction as I complete it.
Unlike those who follow recipes and shop for specific ingredients, I often find inspiration in the food resources I already have at home. Sometimes, my mother would bring back leftovers from food rescue, and with what I have on hand, I craft a dish. This creative process not only allows me to make the most of what is available, but also brings me a sense of fulfilment as I turn simple ingredients into something delicious.
One of my favorite hobbies is bonding over shared meals. When socializing with friends, trying new foods is always my go-to. As a foodie, I enjoy researching and finding new places to explore, always open-minded and excited to discover unique flavors and experiences.
I find great joy in exercising and staying fit, even though it can be tough at times. The scenic views are the beauty I discover in the process, helping me push through and persevere. Exercising strengthens my mental resilience, keeps me motivated, and allows me to embrace the journey rather than focusing solely on the outcome. Taking in nature and releasing endorphins helps me unwind and appreciate my surroundings.
My work as an accounting assistant was highly enriching. I collaborated with colleagues to ensure smooth financial operations, assisting with archiving, filing, and data entry. I found fulfilment in working with numbers, organizing data, and ensuring accuracy in financial records. I also had the opportunity to observe corporate culture and interactions, gaining valuable experience by participating in the annual dinner and dance and using professional tools like MS Teams. These experiences have been instrumental in preparing me for future career opportunities.
As a Music Teacher, I manage both group classes and one-on-one lessons, adjusting my teaching methods to suit each student's needs. Handling unexpected queries from parents has further strengthened my confidence, critical thinking and communication skills. I take great pride in being an educator, instilling a passion for music and sharing its joy with my students.
