Academic:

In sec2 under Mr Ong, Chinese final yr exam Chinese Essay got 39/40
Highest in Chinese in Sec 3 - Major reason: full marks for chinese compo 25/25,
Hence got to know ppl like Mdm Yeung, Mr Ye, Mr Loh(principal), Mr Lam (VP), N many other Teachers in the Chinese department... (Mdm See oso Chin department one)
Cos exam papers r not supposed to be marked by own teacher, so during sec 2&3, many teachers read my works, so got to know who i am... Oso Chinese Essay writing compet in NHSS held every year, i sec 1, 3&4 got take prize, so i gotta noe many Chin teachers

Eventually when O levels came out, i got 9 points, plus i student consel, plus good ECA records & O results, i was one of the candidates selected to go back give speech... Out of the 2 choices, in the end, the honour went to Chuiling (oso dancer)
What is so worth mentioning abt this issue is Mdm See fight so hard for my selection lor... I was really touched & honoured... They 'argue' in meetings, deciding who should be the one, in the end fight until left 2 ppl, n yet both oso Dancers... This is the touching part, she fight so hard until all candidates kanna dropped, left dancers, no matter whether i get the honour or not, the Honour still goes to a Dancer... Mdm See really huh.... Super Good teacher sia...

SAJC: Highest in CLA for 2 yrs in SAJC
Under Mdm Chia's guidance, my interest in Chinese soared even higher.. She was able to provide so much more knowledge/info than what is given in textbk..
Mr Hon: Carrer guidance so impt lor, learnt so much from him
Mr Chu: Needless to say, so On with him, go gym train together, at night he still treat dinner, esp treat we NHSS students... he damn like NHSS students in SAJC... Dinner treat lots of times: not to mention buffets & Crystal Jade etc. Muz keep in contact with him ah....

In NTU:
Jeff Tan: Needless to Say, this guy unplugged me, introduced me to the even inner depth of the Arts world.. (He taught much on Theory while my dance instructor is teach me practical)
Theatre Studies... Showed me how big this world is....


Thats all for this post....
