My Biodata

Hello everyone!

The sole reason that pushed me into making teaching my career was simple: I want to help. When I was young, I wanted to be a doctor. However, such an aspiration was far from completion. It was only when I started teaching piano, I realised that it could bring me so much joy and fulfillment too.

Academically, I am an Applied Mathematics undergraduate in NUS. On top of that, I am pursuing my diploma in piano teaching. I have also received my certificates for my Grade 8 piano and theory. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to teach.

Most of all, I love mixing around with the young people. They make me feel that I can contribute in small ways to the society by nurturing a new generation of passionate people. I would want to continue to influence them and instilling in them the true meaning of learning

I am GLAD that the project is almost over, BUT..

I've got to say: This project was h***.
This project caused me sleepless nights and almost caused me to have a 'nervous breakdown'. This project is not for the faint hearted!

However, it was my utmost pleasure and honour to have 3 fabulous and hardworking team mates working with me on this project.

1)Brandon: the efficient leader
2)Joyce: the cooperative and competent team mate
3)Chong Guan: the capable secretary

It was a blessing to have them working together with a clumsy team mate like me!
Our project question was not like the others. it was not only taxing to work on it, but also very time consuming. We've spent countless hours together, trying to solve problems that we've met along the way. Problem as small as what words to use and the grammar that we should use.

Nothing was easy but we were very focused during meetings and no time was wasted on unnecessary discussions and others things. Everybody did their fair share of work and the contributions and sacrifices that they had made was immeasurable. No one gave additional work to the other group members. As much as possible, we did whatever we had to dom and the rest of the team would proof read and edit. Efficiency is the word to describe our team.

It was due to such great personalities in the team, would the project go on so smoothly and successfully. Tough and draining was nothing compared to the friendship and trust we had cultivated from doing this project.

Our team IS a team of ferocious and brave soldiers who fought side by side in defeating this 'excruciating' project(oops..!!). In any case, it was of greatest pleasure to work with Joyce, Brandon and CG. I would never forget such awesome team spirit that we had. Well done, team!
