Even though I have a busy schedule in school, I always make time for my other interests because they help me relax and recharge, and keep me healthy physically and mentally.
1. Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rhythmic gymnastics is my passion and favourite sport. I enjoy performing challenging aerobic moves and showing my routines in front of an audience and a panel of judges during competitions. From 2022 to 2025, I took part in the annual Rhythmic Gymnastics National Championships. Even though I didn’t win, I never gave up. The training can be tough, but I enjoy the challenge, and it pushes me to keep improving. Rhythmic gymnastics has made me stronger and more flexible, and it has also taught me resilience — how to bounce back from setbacks and keep going with a positive mindset.
2. Art
I love doodling and drawing, and I taught myself how to create comics to tell stories. I had participated in a few competitions and was proud to win a Silver award in 2024 and a Bronze award in 2023 at the Singapore International Original Comics Competition.
3. Piano
I have been learning to play the piano since I was young. I have attained Grade 3 (Merit) for Piano Performance from The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. Now, I enjoy playing the piano to relax after finishing my schoolwork. My favourite song is River Flows in You because it makes me feel calm and peaceful when I play it. My family enjoys listening to it too!
4. Ballet
Another one of my interests is ballet. Through ballet, I learn to dance gracefully and to work as a team by coordinating my moves with other dancers. I especially enjoy the camaraderie with my ballet friends, as we have been dancing together since we were 5 years old. I have attained Ballet Grade 5 (Merit) from the Royal Academy of Dance and plan to continue dancing recreationally.
5. Robotics & Coding / 3D Printing
In today’s world, coding is an important skill. I have learned robotics and coding using LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and Scratch. I enjoy building robotic prototypes to solve real-world problems and have created several games and animations on Scratch. I also joined the FIRST LEGO League 2022/2023 with my team, which was a fun and meaningful experience. In addition, I am able to design 3D models using Tinkercad app and print out my creations with 3D printer, it is a tedious process but the satisfaction when I see my own creations made it so worth my efforts!
