ME..

I was born in Hong Kong, a country which majority of its people uses Cantonese. Having stayed there for 7 years before moving over to Singapore, I had mastered the art of the language and that made me trilingual. Or rather it should be quad-lingual now since I am taking Japanese lesson in NUS. I have always believed in learning things beyond one’s field of study and experimenting new things. My journey through the university years has inculcated good planning and time management skills in me. In addition, my cheerful and easy-going characters have allowed me to widen my social circle and made me a good team player. I strongly believed that the skills that I have acquired from all my experiences will be applicable when I enter the workforce, be it research laboratory or office administrative work.

Reflection..

Working as a team is a matter of compromising and contributing, each doing his or her part while learning from others. I have had a great time working with my 2 wonderful teammates- Sea Ming and Baoqing.

Given the tight and busy schedule, coming up with a report in such a short time is not an easy task (same goes for the rest of the groups). In addition, with both my teammates in their final year, busy with their Final Year Project and thesis papers, having meetings outside class is almost impossible. We had to make do with the time given during class and make the best out of it. Tasks were well-distributed among the three of us. Clear roles and job scopes were ensured at the end of each meeting. Thanks to the advanced in IT technology, having this thing called “Email”, communication among the three of us has become much easier, resolving the need to meet outside class. Furthermore, with all the tests and projects for other modules, mutual understandings and compromising were required. At times, help was received from other members in the team, covering the job of one, when that person was too busy meeting other deadlines of other projects.

It was a great experience working with my teammates, learning different skills from them. For example, I have learnt more of the Microsoft words and excel skills from Sea Ming and analytical skills from Baoqing. I guess the only bad experience in this research project was all the never-ending editing and writings in the report. Nevertheless, the report is now ready to be submitted and we can take a short breather after submission.

Really a big, big thank you to you guys (Sea Ming and Baoqing), for all the hard work and patience!
