Currenly, I am a NUS science undergraduate doing my Honours year in Biology, a degree most people would avoid. I am driven by an insatiable curiousity about life and marvelled by how Mother Nature has created an answer for most of our questions.
I am an avid explorer, always looking for new places to visit, be it deep underwater or high up in the mountains, which is not only refreshing but also allows me to learn more about myself. Personally, I feel that life is too short to do all that i want to experience, which makes me a go getter and someone who values time alot.

Communication in teamwork
The university system should incorporate team work as a component when grading a student, which is a major hurdle for many graduates when they come out into the working world. All of a sudden, life does not just evolve around academic grades but also having to deal with people of all sorts of characters. And because different people contribute differently to a team, everytime i take on a new project, it brings on a whol new different experience altogether.
Working with Elaine and Nic has not only been enjoyable but also easy. I have worked in teams when team mates refuse to cooperate and not contribute to the team, resulting in the rest of the team having to bear the extra work load; not the most pleasant experience. However, during the course of this project work, Elaine and Nic have been the most cooperative group mates i can ever ask for, for which i am thankful. Not only were they punctual when having to complete their tasks, it was also pretty well done. This made the whole process very easy and smooth. Calling for group meetings were also simple.
I think what made this group so successful was the fact that all of us shared the same goal: To finish the project ASAP and to do it well. Personally, a group is not successful because it has very intelligent or capable group mates. Rather, i feel that the most important thing about working as a group is that the people in it must have the same goal. It is only when they have the same goal that they are able to all contribute positively to the experience of working in that group and drive the group in the correct direction.
