Biodata of a Narcissist

I am a person who is highly motivated, driven to excel and takes pride in her work. I aspire to inspire, and perceives learning as a continuous journey from the bottomless well of knowledge- the world.

As a second year major undergraduate in the National University of Singapore (NUS), I value every opportunity to acquire knowledge as well as experiences that will help develop me as an all-rounder. I constantly explore different channels to enhance my interpersonal communication, correspondence and presentation skills. One of the modules I have taken is Professional Communication, and it intrigued me to explore in depth why conflicts arise from miscommunication, as well as how to be more sensitive when dealing with socio-cultural barriers. This is definitely applicable to everyday life.

In NUS, I have participated in various co-curriculum activities, such as embarking on a 22 days community service trip, regular voluntary service in welfare homes, as well as an orientation councillor in freshman orientation camps. I have also represented my hall in several inter-hall sports events, and did coverage of various NUS events. All these activities summed up to an extraordinary experience of campus life, and equipped me with valuable organisational and managerial skills.

Outside school, I am the director of the Social Development Subgroup (SDS), a sub-branch of the People’s Association Youth Movement (PAYM) in the. Being a director of a youth group further spurs me to refine my EQ and leadership skills. I also have had first hand experiences on chairing meetings, delegating jobs and public speaking.

My previous part time employment during semester breaks have certainly been enriching and fulfilling. The exposure to the outside working life has demonstrated to me how different school life and the working world are. Bearing responsibilities, being accountable to the superior, and to be receptive to critics are some of the lessons I have learnt. Work has certainly brought me out of my comfort zone and opened my eyes. I believe that this will be beneficial to me as a student leader, as well as better prepares me for working life after I graduate.

I am easy going and can get along with people of all types of nature well. Being fluent in both English and Mandarin, I am picking up a Bahasa Indonesia as my third language. Aside from photography, I am also an avid traveller and an aspiring writer. No matter how many obstacles are in my way, I will never hesitate to continue embracing life, because it is my determination and courage that brought me to where I am now.
