Achievements so far: yA!!! eR before I start, forgive me if u don't understand what i'm talking abt..it's my singaporean accent..hEE hEE..HmMm...when I was from a normal primary school (meaning that all are hearing and I had some difficulties integrating into their society.), i was mostly inactive and didn't understand everything!!! then I barely passed my exams prior to entering a normal secondary school. (again) but there are lot of deaf students there so I mingled quite well with them..they're fun to hang out!! this is where I fully understood myself. my results are very excellent..topped my Secondary 1 class...in fact, my class is worst among others and subjects are very easy. then my teachers gave me a chance to get to a better 2nd yr class. as i've to cope with better subjects in my Sec 2, I managed to be in top 10 list. but topping my classes didnt not stop after 2nd yr. from Sec 3 to Sec 5, I always never fail to top my classes though I wanted to flunk. a big change huh? from primary school, I was very dumb but after secondary days, I was very conscious of everything around me.

anyway I loved math, geography, art, chemistry (BEST!) and physics. I even got As for all except my english. :P I passed my GCE 'O' Level....I'm very happy with my results and got enrolled in a polytechnic (highest institution possible for some deafs in singapore as university entry is very competitive and most deafs has little or satisfactory education).

I was currently studying for a Diploma in Internet Computing. Very fortunate but I dont like this course! That's not my interest..but dun know why i chose it!!! Hahaha..Damn boring!!! Yucks!!

Hmmm..not just about my education..abt my life, I realized that I matured quite ahead of my friends despite my childish behaviour hahahaha!! I like playing playing!!!! hahahah like cannot grow up..during my secondary school career, I was active in the Art Club. I LOVE ARTS! I once did batik painting aka silk painting in Malay.

Be able to help friends in need and do things independently and ignore those attitude ppl is my achievements also..hey hey I don't mean to show off oK?? juz that I should speak openly what I think..right?? hEE hEE.. =P

Future Aims & Goals: yA!!!! Have have!!! after my 2nd year in this boring course, I'll be transferring to Diploma in Biotechnology (3 another yrs). As I just realized this is where my interest actually lies!

Given that I got distinctions for Chemistry/Physics, I'm sure i can DO IT! I was intrigued by how living things evolve..maybe analysis the causes of hearing loss?? hahahaha!! kidding man! then after my poly, I intend to further my studies in Biotech in local university like NUS (National University of Singapore). hEy wiSh mE aLL e StReNgTh nEEdEd tO sEE mE thru another 3 yrs!! I've wasted 2 yrs already. Thanks man!!

To be a biotechnologist? NaH! It is only a temporary term...Ultimately, I want to be a HUMANITARIAN in Nepal one day! that's my DREAM!! For those dont know, humanitarian means concerned with improving bad living conditions and preventing unfair treatment of people. just like a social worker. Nepal is 1 of most poorest countries, yet, Himalayas mountains is very beautiful!!! I think I'll be destined to stay there forever...I believe God has given me a purpose to fulfil my earthly job as a human being. Amen! =D If possible, I can outreach to deaf Nepalis..= )

Your Advice to the Deaf Community: Hmmm....just think of something exciting for your life!!!!!! like me, I wanna study biotechnology which no deaf in singapore has attempted that field before. Or be a humanitarian!! Or making deaf friends overseas! Or be a fashion designer!! Or be a film maker!! There are many many things to do while life's short man!! Don't waste your time on blaming yourself on your disability - so futile!! Don't shy away from difficulites u face! face it! Don't just type type type, action speaks louder than words! Don't care about how society looks at you! oK? aLL e bEsT~~~~~~! sorry if i sound over-charismatic in my tone...hahahahah =D I was always like that! Lastly, I wanna tell you all, just BELIEVE GOD!
