In collaboration with NEA, we were tasked to illustrate stories with hawker centers as our theme. Our finished work was printed on the tables where people could dine and read at the same time. It was a fruitful experience seeing our illustrations coming to life.

This year I had my first experience of managing a booth with a group of friends at Suntec Convention Centre.We displayed our works and products for sale, which included original works and fanart. We also made friends with other fellow hobbyists at the event who shared the same passion for anime and illustrating. It was a wonderful experience to be able to not only sell what you love doing, but knowing that there are many like-minded people similar to you.

On December 2016, the National Book Council organised a JENESYS 2016 program for the 50 years of Singapore Japan alliance, to let Singaporean students have a chance to experience the Japanese culture.

I participated in the program along with 3 Temasek Polytechnic students, and visited Hakuba, and Tokyo. During the trip we visited Hakuba High School, Chihiro Museum, the Library of Children's Book, and Matsumoto Castle etc. We learnt about their culture, their brief history, and even had homestay to experience the culture ourselves.

​

I learnt how efficient the society in Japan was, and their respectable behaviours and manners which made me think, how could Singapore change to become a better society. We created children's storybooks through what we experienced in Japan for Asian Festival of Children's Content 2017.

National Environment Agency sought the collaboration of me and 2 other Communication Design students to create a mural design for their hawker centre's wall, and the theme was "graciousness".

​

We created elements that are iconic to the Singaporean's culture, while illustrating the story of being kind and gracious.

​

The mural was introduced to the audience on 27th November 2016 during the opening of Our Tampines Hub.

The program has guest speakers and the guest of honour, Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Finance.

​

Although our stay was short, we enjoyed some of their talks which mentioned business experiences and strategies. It helped me understand what are the things I need to know and prepare before I start a business.

On 17 July 2016, I worked as a volunteer in tending the booth for t-shirt and bag silkscreen printing for Temasek Polytechnic, in partnership with Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). The aim was to cultivate interest in the maritime industry for the younger generation. The festival had booths and stalls tended by different schools, including ours, and a fashion show as well.

​

Students from our school designed illustrations that depicted maritime and we had a live silkscreen printing for customers to see how it was made. The amount earned from sales were directed to the Design Project Fund for our school’s needy students.

​

We volunteered as Assistant Counsellors, and helped to monitor the activities in the camp, and lookout for the children's health and safety.

​

During the camp, the haze reached PSI 400 and the children panicked, some missed homes, others fell sick. Despite the dire situation, we managed to overcome it and attend to each children, and the camp was an overall success.

In 2008, as part of the school's Chinese Dance group, I participated in the Singapore Youth Festival, and our school was awarded Silver Medal.
