I am more than the choices that i've made.

 

I am a graduate from the National University of Singapore holding a B.Sc in Life Sciences, specializing in Biomedical Science. My passion is working with people, and my lively personality makes relationship building—with peers and superiors—that much easier. I enjoy challenging work, especially tasks that require critical and creative thinking. While I have always had a passion for wildlife in general, I do not foresee many sustainable opportunities to pursue this field in Singapore. 

 

I am a thinker. I think about the future and plan for the worst case scenarios. I love intellectual discussions and hearing alternative points of view. I base my decisions 60% on logic and 40% on emotions, especially when it comes to relationships. 

 

My strengths: 

  • Good interpersonal ability: able to form good bonds with peers and superiors in a short time

  • Fast learner: I learn fast especially when I am given opportunities for hands on work.

  • Willing to try new things

  • Creative problem solver

  • Ability to see the big picture without compromising on the little details

  • Excellent presentation skills

 

My weaknesses: 

  • Unwillingness to accept facts at face value: Sometimes I tend to question certain decisions that do not make sense to me, while trying to come up with a better solution

  • Slight hesitancy to delegate duties to other, because sometimes I feel I can do a better job than them

 

My hobbies: 

  • Trekking/hiking (especially to higher elevations, most recent trip: Annapurna Circuit, 5400m)

  • MOBAs (online gaming, a part of my youth i still hold dear)

  • Crafts (making cards and gifts for loved ones)

  • Traveling (who doesn't)

 

My motivations:

  • To learn (about myself, the world and others, new skills along the way don't hurt either)

  • To experience (different cultures, different countries, different people)

  • To grow (as a citizen, son, brother and someday father)

 

My highlights: 

  • Internship with the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme

  • Scaling the 5400m Thorong La pass of the Annapurna Circuit Trek

  • Completing both horizontal and vertical marathons

  • Chairing the commitee for the Varisty Christian Fellowship in Science Faculty

 

My non-academic contributions (not in chronological order):

  • President's Challenge, Service learning, YMCA, Young Mentor Programme for Youth, Racial Harmony Day (MOE), Publicity Talk, Graduation Night Committee (PJC), Julia Gabriel Speech & Drama Course, ABRSM Piano Grade 5, Self taught guitar, bass and drums (in that order), class treasuer, class IT rep, Student Counsillor (PJC), Tony Buzan Powerlearning Seminar, National Arts Council Arts Education Program, SembVisy Neighborhood Recycling Project Harmony Works Conference, Multiple leadership camps/workshops
