Werribee secondary college school exchange programme:

During my secondary school year, I had a chance to go for an oversea exchange program. That time, I was secondary three and we went to Melbourne Australia and had a school exchange program with Werribee college secondary school. That was really a memorable experience which I had. We were all allocated to an Australian buddy, and are to stay with them for the whole trip (1 week). That was my first time staying at a person’s house that I do not really know, and got learns to do many things independently. Luckily that my host during the trip, was very friendly, we got to know a lot of each other’s culture and stuffs. I also got to know how Australia school works like, how the students behaves there, how their teacher taught their student and many more things. The way their teacher taught, was very friendly and encouraging, as the teacher kept saying encouraging phrases, such as ‘beautiful’ , ‘excellent’ ,’marvelous’ etc to encourage us to do better. Which I thought, it was really sweet and nice of the teacher to do that. I believe that I am going to treat my students the way which the Australian teacher taught me. Using such encouraging words can really boost up the esteem of a student and make them enjoy your lesson.

This is the secondary college which we went to.


This is their school hall, it was much smaller as compared to the school hall in my secondary school.


We went to one of the museum over there.

Look at the guy's hair, their school dont catch student with long hair.


Thats me with my host, they were very friendly and nice to me.


Red camp:

I also participated as a red camp student leader last year. Red camp is a camp organized at Ngee Ann poly to let students whom just had their o level examinations, to get to know more about Ngee Ann poly. In this camp, I had the chance to interact with different students from different schools, sharing with them about my school, giving them some good advices and making friends with them.

Career highlights

My Career Highlights

I have quite a number of working experiences in different types of environment and places like shopping centers, wholesale centre, sport complex and restaurant etc.

Working at Isetan as a promoter:
The first job which I got after my O level examination is working as a wallet promoter at isetan Shaw house. My job is to promote for Braun buffel, Pierre Cardin and renoma wallet. In that job, I learnt many things about servicing and how to handle customer. It was a good experience as it allows me to expose to different types of customer and try to handle them. That was also the first time which I experience how working life is.

Working at Shokudo ( Japanese Restaurant) :
After working for 1 month at isetan, I decided to change to food and beverage line. Therefore I went to work at a Japanese restaurant named shokudo, it was located at the basement of raffles city shopping centre. In that restaurant, I was stationed at the front counter. Because the restaurant works by card system, whereby every customer will be issued with a dining card and they are suppose to order their food with the card and pay at the end of their meal ( similar to marche concept). Therefore I am stationed at the front counter to distribute card to customers and explain to them on the system of how the restaurant works. This work allows me to interact with customers, handle big crowd during peak hours and also learn new things and culture about Japan from my manager and some employees whom are Japanese.

These are some of the photos taken with my colleagues whom work at the same place as me.

Others:
I also took up some free and easy work (work how much, get how much, no restriction in working days).

Working at pasir pangjang wholesale center, working for the company name ban choon pte ltd. In the work, our job is to pack as many mushroom/ fruits as possible or label canned food in a day. In that job, I learnt to do things efficiently and plan things properly as we got to finish our work within the time given.

I work as a type of sport event management. The job scope is to help out in some sports event, by helping the runners to take their timing of their run etc. it was quite fun, as it is an exposure to another different kind of working environment.

Co-curricular activities

My Co-curricular activities

I am an active participant in co-curricular activities, I like to join CCAs and I believe that this could help us to release stress by doing something fun after a busy day.

Art club: Therefore in primary school, I joined art club during that time, drawing is an interest which I had in me as I am able express my imaginations and creativeness in a picture. This allows me to feel satisfied with myself after I had done a nice piece of art work.


Display Band:

While in secondary school, I decided to join something new and I joined the school display band. In the band, I played clarinet. I was the sectional leader of my clarinet section. During the second year in band, I was nominated as a band major in the band. I also participated in numerous school and public performances, such as, the Chingay Parade at Jurong and the Brass Band Festival 5 in 2005. With this position, it allows me to take part in many leadership camp such as outward bound School (OBS) and Non- Commissioned Officer (NCO) camp. These camps taught me a lot of leadership skills and I learnt how to interact and bond with people from other schools. With all this experience from camp, I lead my school’s display band with strength of 100 members for SYF display band competition in 2006. That was the second time which my band took part in SYF competition, and we won silver. I have a great experience leading the band and learning many skills and values along the way.
In recognition of my contribution to the school, i got the Eagles Award in 2006.

These picture is taken during the SYF competition.

This is during the band NCO camp, where we got to know band majors from different schools.

Dance sport club: Currently in Ngee Ann poly, my CCA is dance sport. I didn’t continue by joining band as my CCA because I would like to experience new things. I have been dancing in npds (Ngee Ann dance sport) for 1 year plus. In this CCA, we learnt many different types of Latin dances such as cha cha, rumba, jive, samba and Paso doble, taught by professional Latin dancers Melvin and Sharon whom won second in the dance floor competition. In this 1 year plus, I took part in SGDF( Singapore dance sport federation) competition and also participated in many performance in different places such as iguana golf club, takashimaya, in school open house etc.


These are the members of Ngee Ann Dancesport club.

All this experience allows me to learn many things such as the skills in dancing, perseverance, determination and confidence. As Latin dancing is a partner dance, we got to learn how to communicate with our partner well, learn how to solve conflicts between partners and improve on the dance.
