Dining Etiquette Workshop For NUS High School of Mathematics and Science
We are honoured to partner NUS High School of Mathematics and Science again this year for the dining etiquette workshop. Since the successful run last year, we have all been looking forward to a new batch of graduating students and a brand new menu. In today’s context, dining is more than just the food. It is the entire package that matters. Think ambience, dressing up, food presentation, company around the same table, silverware finesse, small talk and much more. Thus no efforts were spared to make tonight’s dining etiquette workshop a resounding success so as to give the students an …
NUS FASS Mentorship Programme
When I was approached by my alma mater, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (FASS) of National University of Singapore to be a mentor, I thought it was a brilliant idea. I accepted the invitation almost immediately. It’s been some years since I left the faculty. But honestly, I truly enjoyed my four years as an undergraduate back then. I never thought I would have loved school so much. At varsity, I was granted a new found sense of freedom I never knew existed. I remembered I could pack my lectures and tutorials together so that I would only …
3 Tips To Judge A Beauty Pageant
It’s the newest beauty pageant in town. Presenting Miss Singapore Islandia 2014. Organised to find a worthy spokeswoman for the $1.2 billion integrated resort to be developed near Bintan, the Islandia project positions itself as the ultimate relaxation, rejuvenation and retirement spot for investors. Being invited to judge the Miss Singapore Islandia 2014 pageant tonight at the Orchid Country Club Grand Ballroom was an honour. It also allowed me to re-connect with old and new friends from the pageant circle. I must admit tonight’s pageant is a refreshing change from the other pageants I have judged. It is interesting how …
Life Profiling Workshop For Mindef
This is a philosophical question. What is life? To many of us, it means the existence of us on this planet. To others, it may represent the significance of each breathing moment. Whether you take the first or second definition or come up with another one of your own, I’m certain we will all agree that life is a choice. The paths we take, the people we meet, the lessons we learn, the dreams we chase… Life is short. It is something that we ought to cherish. What is important is the quality of life itself and not the …

3 Tips to Boost Your Personal Professional Presentation
We would all like to kickstart our career on a promising note. Who wouldn’t, right? With this premise in mind, today marks the dawn of yet another exciting workshop. Welcoming 35 participants from the Defence Science & Technology Agency (DSTA), it is heartening to see the fresh faces in today’s personal professional presentation workshop. Most had just graduated from university. The title of the workshop may seem a mouthful. Yet to put it simply, it means learning how to interact with other people in a professional situation. This is crucial as no man is an island. Instead, in …
Health Promotion Board Student Health Ambassador Programme For Primary Schools: Yu Neng Primary School
It’s been an extremely fruitful journey bringing the Health Promotion Board’s Student Health Ambassador Programme to the different primary schools since the first lesson in March 2013 at Yuhua Primary School. I’ve criss-crossed the Singapore island map from north to south, then east to west. I’ve been at Yu Neng Primary School since yesterday and this marks the 12th primary school that will benefit from this amazing two-day workshop that incorporates healthy eating, physical exercise, anti-smoking, mental resilience and personal hygiene into the five core modules. A strong spokesperson of healthy living myself, it’s gratifying to see students from the …
Lunchtime Grooming Talk for Singapore Manufacturing Federation
Never underestimate the power of a positive first impression. It is of utmost importance. This was the message I shared with the staff of Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF) at today’s lunchtime personal grooming talk. Personal grooming – a topic that is so close to all our hearts as we are really what we wear. Going one step beyond the clothes, confidence is also seen in our body posture. When you look into the mirror – do you see a lion or a cat? I know both animals belong to the feline family but there’s a huge difference between …
