Class of 2007 graduates say…

“NTU’s vibrant campus activities made my university life a very enjoyable and fulfilling one. In addition to academic knowledge, I also developed critical thinking skills, and honed my interpersonal and leadership skills. Now, I am ready to face future challenges with what I’ve gained at NTU.” – Weng Jie, School of Biological Sciences

A celebration for the Class of 2007NTU celebrated the graduation of its Class of 2007 from 23 July to 27 July 2007, which saw more than 7,250 students graduating.

NTU honours Professor Cham Tao Soon

The first ceremony also witnessed the conferment of the President Emeritus title on Professor Cham Tao Soon, to recognise his outstanding contributions and distinguished service to the University. Prof. Cham was the founding President of Nanyang Technological Institute (NTI) in 1981. He served as President through the establishment of NTU in 1991, and then continued to serve as President of NTU until 31 December 2002.

The President Emeritus title is a lifelong honorary distinction which may be conferred on past Presidents of the university.

NTU honours inspiring teachers with the University Scholars Award

The University Scholars Award, which was launched at the first ceremony, recognises the achievements of well-rounded student achievers in the graduating class, while honouring the teachers and faculty members who have been an inspiration to them.

Eighteen outstanding University Scholars of the Class of 2007 received their awards from President Nathan.

A total of 15 ceremonies were held over the five-day convocation period, which saw the pioneer batch of graduands for the

Bachelor of Engineering (Bioengineering), Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Science), Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering), Master of Management in Hospitality, Master of Science (Information Systems) and Master of Science (Applied Finance) degrees.

His Excellency, President S R Nathan, who is also Chancellor of NTU, presided at the first convocation ceremony which included other guests such as Minister for Defence, Mr Teo Chee Hean, and Minister for Education and Second Minister for Finance, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam. The First Lady of the Republic of Indonesia, Ibu Haja Ani Bambang Yudhoyono, was also present to witness the graduation of her second son, Mr Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono.

During his welcome speech, NTU President Dr Su Guaning said, “A hallmark of Great Universities is a strong undergraduate programme that is broad and deep at the same time. Graduates from these institutions develop leadership, a broad education and deep foundations.”

“The Class of 2007 comprises 7,256 graduates, including 4,847 Bachelor degree graduates and 2,409 higher degree graduates. With the Class of 2007, our alumni strength has reached 113,000. I congratulate each and every one of our graduates for their achievements.”

“Singapore has thrived and prospered because we are unafraid to blaze our own path. When we look at the best technological universities in the world – the likes of MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Imperial College, ETH – we must never forget that NTU shall have to blaze our own path, just like the founding generation of Singapore, in becoming a great global university. We shall be fearless in ambition yet meticulous in planning and execution, while remaining deeply connected to the needs of the nation, the region and the world,” added Dr Su.

Witnessing the occasion are (from left) Mr Teo Chee Hean, Minister for Defence; Mr Koh Boon Hwee, Chairman, NTU Board of Trustees; President S R Nathan; Dr Su Guaning, NTU President; Mr Wee Cho Yaw, NTU Pro-Chancellor and Mr Herman R Hochstadt, NTU Pro-Chancellor.

Graduates giving a round of applause to their parents as a gesture of thanks for their endearing support.

“NTU helped me develop qualities such as being dynamic and self-motivated, which helped me greatly in securing my dream job!” – Emily Tan, Nanyang Business School

“NTU provided me with the added opportunity to learn from industrial research specialists. My time at NTU has been a truly enriching experience.” – Bay Zi Jing, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering

Memories are made of these!

New teachers honoured at NIE’s Teachers’ Investiture CeremonyA total of 2,016 newly-qualified teachers received their diplomas at the ceremony held at NTU’s Nanyang Auditorium from 10 to 12 July 2007. Minister for Education and Second Minister for Finance, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, was the Guest of Honour for the first ceremony.

At the ceremony, the teachers received their Bachelor of Arts (Education), Bachelor of Science (Education),

Diploma in Education, Postgraduate Diploma in Education and other Diploma certificates.

Esther Ong Chin Chin, an effectively bilingual teacher in Woodlands Primary School, strongly believes in creating a conducive environment for students to appreciate the Chinese language. She is also deeply passionate about inculcating values. Beyond the academic area, Esther has a soft spot for ‘at risk’ students and contributes to the community as a youth volunteer.

Huang Yiyan, Acting Head of Department for Physical Education and Co-Curricular Activities in CHIJ Katong Convent, sets a high standard of physical fitness for herself and her students in and outside the classroom. An active volunteer for athletic activities, she believes that youths

should be provided with an avenue to channel their energy in the wholesome pursuit of athletics. She works closely with external organisations in outreach sports programmes for troubled youth.

Sukhjeet Kaur, a teacher at Swiss Cottage Secondary School, strongly believes in stretching her students to reach the high standards of academic performance and character that she sets for them. To cater to the students’ individual needs, she varies her teaching approaches and gives individualised attention for those who need it. Outside school, she is an active youth volunteer who encourages community engagement through multi-pronged efforts.

Minister Tharman addressed the graduands during his welcome speech: “This ceremony is a meaningful one because it signifies your formal entry to the education profession in Singapore. We are a society

that places great value on education and the wholesome upbringing of our children. Everyone recognises the pivotal role that teachers play in this regard. You are now entrusted with the responsibility of guiding, motivating and inspiring future generations of young Singaporeans. I have every reason to be confident that you will discharge this responsibility well throughout your teaching career.”

“Learn as you teach and constantly avail yourself to opportunities to develop further. Let us together keep Singapore shining as a star in the firmament in the 21st century. My heartiest wishes for a meaningful and fulfilling career ahead of you!” he added.

During the first ceremony, Miss Esther Ong Chin Chin, Mdm Huang Yiyan and Miss Sukhjeet Kaur were conferred the Outstanding Youth in Education Awards 2007.

Party-time for Class 2007 @ Zouk

The University ushered in its new batch of alumni on 4 August 2007 with a big bang – by throwing a huge party for them at Zouk, one of the hottest clubs in all of Asia.

Some 1,000 alumni and staff, together with their partners, gathered at Zouk to have a ball of a time, enjoying the music and drinks,

dancing and just taking the time to chill with fellow alumni. Organised by the Alumni Affairs Office, the maiden event was an avenue to welcome the Class of 2007 graduates into the alumni family.

As twilight began to fall, alumni and guests started streaming into the club which was available exclusively to NTU alumni until 10.30pm, after which the venue was opened to the public. Even after that, our alumni were encouraged to stay on and party the night away.

Graced by Dr Su Guaning, NTU President, and distinguished guests including Associate Provost, Professor Er Meng

Hwa; Secretary to the University, Mr Anthony Teo; and other Heads of Departments, the crowd had a rollicking good time as they boogied together on the stage and the dance floor.

In his opening address, Dr Su said, “Graduation is a time that calls for congratulations and celebration. I am happy to see you all here tonight to celebrate. Congratulations! You are now officially a member of our 113,000 strong alumni. Your camaraderie and friendship with your fellow students at NTU forms the basis of a long-lasting relationship with your alma mater. This relationship will continue throughout your life.”

Quips from our alumni…

“It’s nice seeing old course mates and even lecturers all over again. It was my first time having buffet at Zouk too, a very refreshing experience! Nevertheless, it was a great catching up time and I will look forward to the next alumni event.”

– Lim May Hsia, Jordan

“Excellent event! Always nice to catch up with old friends.”

– Lim Todd Joo

“The party was great and we really enjoyed it. I would definitely encourage my juniors to join in this party in future as well!”

– Ooi Siew Min

“NTU has come a long way in making its students feel at home, be it the first day you join the University or years after you graduate. Events such as these are huge steps in forming strong bonds between generations of students. The Alumni is growing from strength to strength, and are connecting in more ways than one: the Class 2007 Welcome Party is a landmark event in NTU’s evolution.”

– Subhajeet Parida

“I wish the Class of 2007 all the best as you embark on a new phase in your life. We would love to hear about your future achievements and successes. Remember and cherish the ties you have built with one another and with NTU,” he added.

The guests were entertained by dance performances put up by the students from NTU’s Modern Jazz Club. With the good music and company, everyone let their hair down and partied till late. The bash had successfully brought home a message to the new graduates – that they will always be part of the NTU family!

Welcome,Classof2007!Congratulations on your graduation! Graduation represents your great achievement as a student; it also marks the beginning of your life as an NTU alumnus. We, the Alumni Affairs Office (AAO), warmly welcome you into our big alumni family.

Let the party begin! NTU President Dr Su Guaning (3rd from left) launching the Welcome Class 2007 Alumni Party, accompanied by (from left), Mr Soon Min Yam, Director, Alumni Affairs Office, Professor Er Meng Hwa, Associate Provost and Mr Anthony Teo, Secretary to the University.

During his speech, Mr Anthony Teo said, “The NTU Alumni Association (India) will provide an avenue for our alumni in India to maintain an active interest in the development of NTU. It will also serve as an invaluable point of contact for alumni to meet, network and renew friendships.” “With a broad and strong international outreach, NTU Alumni Associations aim to strengthen the connections with overseas alumni and provide them with more benefits and networking opportunities in tandem with NTU’s thriving global network,” he added.

CI-NTU was set up by NTU in July 2005 as a collaboration with China’s Shandong University and the Office of Chinese Language Council International. The Institute leverages the strengths of NTU and China to offer a comprehensive range of Chinese educational programmes from the pre-school to postgraduate level.

In Singapore, CI-NTU is among the first 25 Confucius Institutes in the world. Currently, there are about 158 Confucius Institutes in 54 countries that are engaged in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.

PERSONALITY18 PERSONALITY 19

Together with a group of friends in NTU, who were also from his secondary school, Bob started

the online community, Whosgoing.sg. This online community is unique; it allows members a chance to meet and network offline as well. Parties are organised on an average of twice a month and they are all free. Whosgoing.sg lives by its slogan - “We believe in free parties.”

How did Bob and his friends come up with this unconventional concept? “Sometime in February last year, after a session at a club one evening, we thought that perhaps there should be a better way to get to know more people than just making friends online. We saw this as a business opportunity,” he explained.

Since the official launch in July last year, the site has garnered so much support that more than 50,000 people have signed up as members. However, there were many obstacles which Bob and his friends had to face at the beginning.

To start, Bob and his friends had to dig deep into their own pockets to pool the capital together, with no monetary assistance from their parents. They had to be strict with

A dedicated alumnusLim Sui Soon, alumnus from the Class of 1987, School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, speaks on his student life in the then Nanyang Technological Institute (NTI) and how the experience has motivated him to give back to his alma mater.

Bob Otto Iskandar, a young alumnus from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Class of 2006, starts a social networking website with free parties for members, and this avant-garde concept is catching on with partygoers like wildfire.

regularly to coach the undergraduates in Taekwondo. He is passionate about the sport and has been practising it since he was 13.

In fact, Sui Soon’s life philosophy can be drawn from this martial art. He shares, “I believe in strong fundamentals. It’s just like a building. A building must have a strong foundation, and then the building blocks have to be laid a layer at a time. Likewise in Taekwondo, the energy is spent on ensuring that the fundamentals are right. Once that is right, the rest are just applications.”

Before the interview came to a close, we asked Sui Soon what he wants to share with fellow alumni. He says, “Know what you want, enjoy what you have and have a passion for what you do.”

Sui Soon is now serving as the Chairperson of the Class Reunion Organising Committee for the Classes of 1987, 1992, 1997 and 2002 reunions. He encourages alumni from these classes to come together and celebrate their anniversaries in grand style!

Whosgoing.sg soon began assisting various brands for their marketing campaigns, such as branding exercises as well as product launches. “There is commercial value in being able to influence so many people together,” he explained.

It has been a year since Whosgoing.sg was officially launched, but the growing crowds at their parties are testimony to the pulling power of the brand. Its biggest party was held last December, with 7,000 members gathered at Ministry of Sound.

“We are very lucky. Every time we made a mistake, we somehow managed to set things right. All the stars seem to be aligned for us now,” Bob enthused.

This young man, despite the success of Whosgoing.sg, shows that he still has his head firmly on his shoulders. “I have a long journey ahead. I believe life is a journey of learning. I am not sure when I will reach the ultimate peak of my career but I know I have a lot more to learn.”

Attempting things that are out of the box is not new to Bob. He fondly recalls his undergraduate days and the ‘hard time’ he gave his lecturers.

“A lot of professors will remember me, not because I was the smartest, but because I gave them problems. I would ask a lot of questions and request things which are out of the ordinary. For example, during my Industrial Attachment, I think I was the first student who managed to work for a recruitment firm, though I was trained in civil engineering.”

Bob treasures the close relationships he built with his lecturers, and how they supported him whenever he had an unusual request. “I don’t think I can forget them or thank them enough,” he said.

Now a young alumnus of NTU, Bob is not hesitant to offer his help to his alma mater, whenever it is called for. He said, “I strongly believe in giving back. Without the lecturers in NTU, I won’t be where

I am today. I am grateful for their help and I will give back in any way possible.”

To other youths who aspire to be like him, Bob has this piece of advice: “You must know what you want. If you know what you want, you will know that you will fight for it, and you will get it.”

“My philosophy of life is that there are many skills you have to acquire throughout your whole life. And right now in my current career I am picking up skills which I find very challenging, but I believe I will come out a stronger person from this experience.”

Free parties, anyone?

Sui Soon (in red T-shirt) enjoying with his friends during his campus days in NTI

Taekwondo is Sui Soon’s passion and he coaches the current NTU undergraduates regularly despite his hectic travelling schedule.

Now the Director for Health, Safety and Environment at Cameron (S) Pte Ltd, an American multinational

corporation, Sui Soon has received three awards for his service as an alumnus. Aside from volunteering as a Taekwondo instructor for a good 20 years, Sui Soon has also been helping a number of graduates secure jobs at Cameron, and the number is growing.

“I am proud of NTU,” Sui Soon declares unabashedly. “I benefited from the school. Likewise, I should contribute to it.”

Speaking of his life as a student in NTI, Sui Soon recalls being actively involved in the extra-curricular activities (ECA) and affirms that those were some of his most memorable experiences on campus. “I made many sacrifices to be able to contribute my time to the student activities. I believe this made me a well-rounded person, rather than someone who just focuses on academic pursuits,” he reflects.

Sui Soon adds, “A big challenge was to manage the different priorities such as

my studies and my ECAs; I overcame this challenge and learnt time management. As a student leader, I also learnt to work with different people and student organisations, and listen to different opinions.”

His many opportunities to be involved in NTU has no doubt instilled a deep sense of belonging in him. Sui Soon says, “I can’t say that there is

any single incident that makes me love this campus. It’s the events that evolved over the years; they made me think – hey, I can help transform this university.”

Sui Soon has come a long way since those student days. He has progressed steadily in his career with Cameron, which incidentally was his first job after graduation. Sui Soon credits his university education for his success in his career. “I believe in NTU’s education system!” he asserts.

And it is this pride and belief in his alma mater that has spurred him to help NTU

graduates acquire jobs at Cameron. “I will not hesitate to help, and I regularly participate in all the campus recruitment talks, campus interviews

and career fairs. I believe in the quality of NTU graduates. Hey, I am one of them! So I would not hesitate to recommend them to my colleagues. About 80 to 90 percent of those working for us have seen significant career advancements,” he says.

Besides being a career mentor to many of his juniors, Sui Soon also returns to NTU

“I believe that one needs to be sincere, faithful and devote adequate effort into what one needs to do. Treasure life because not everyone is fortunate enough to be given opportunities and we should never let opportunities go to waste.”

their budgeting and worked hard to find sponsors. The first six months were tough, but they

finally started seeing profits after that.

The dinner hosted by Mr Koh Boon Hwee, Chairman of NTU’s Board of Trustees and NTU President Dr Su

Guaning, saw some 360 China-based alumni, guests and their families networking with one another as they strengthened their ties with the University.

During the dinner, Mr Koh addressed the graduates: “The support of our alumni in Singapore and around the world is crucial for the University. Our alumni form one of our greatest resources. We have forged close ties with our local and international alumni. Do stay connected and keep in touch with your alma mater. You have a crucial role in supporting NTU in her pursuit

Students from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), Class of 2007 enjoyed an evening dedicated to their graduation.

CEE graduates celebrate in style

T he night of 16 May 2007 was a memorable one for the new graduates, who enjoyed an evening of marvellous

music, songs, dance and team-building games at the ballroom of the Conrad Centennial Hotel.

Organised by the CEE Club and supported by NTU’s Alumni Affairs Office, the NTU CEE Alumni Association and VSL, the night kick-started with a Latin dance by Dancesport Academy. This was followed by singer Jeramaine Yeo, best known as “Xinxu” to his friends, who performed several popular Mandarin songs much to the thrill of his fellow classmates. Alumna Tay Kewei then awed the audience with her soulful English numbers.

Professor Teh Cee Ing, Chair of CEE, had this morale booster for the graduating students, “As you embark on the next phase of your life’s journey, there will be new challenges. Fortunately for you, the present construction industry and the general economy are good, and it would not be too difficult for you to secure a job. Nonetheless, you will still need to strive for excellence and be committed in whatever you do.”

All in all, the graduates and guests had a wonderful time; it was indeed an unforgettable night of laughter and fond memories.

A memorable occasion for the CEE graduates to celebrate

The graduates had loads of fun playing the amusing games.


Held at the Yunnan Garden Restaurant Ballroom at NTU Alumni Club, more than 160 graduating students

turned up for the evening, all beautifully dressed. MSE lecturers and alumni were also present at the dinner. Guests of Honour were Professor Freddy Boey, Chair of MSE, and Mr Soon Min Yam, Director of the Alumni Affairs Office.

During the dinner, Professor Boey spoke about the current buoyant job market,

The School of Biological Sciences (SBS) held its graduation dinner, Incandescence, for its second graduating batch at the Asian Civilisations Museum, organised by the Biological Sciences Club.

The School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Graduation Night held on 11 May 2007 brought the new graduates together for a memorable celebration.

Distinguished guests including Guest of Honour, Professor Bertil Andersson, Provost and Professor

Alex Law, Associate Chair, SBS, graced the special occasion.

Themed “Nostalgia”, almost everyone was decked out in vintage clothes from the 70s and ever-classic black dresses in the likes of Audrey Hepburn. Tuned to the mood for reminiscence in the historically rich atmosphere of the Asian Civilisations Museum, the cosy lighting illuminated a warm family atmosphere, hallmark of SBS’ culture. Each guest was presented

where a number of students have already secured a job before their graduation. He also expressed his hope that, as alumni, the graduates will contribute to the school in any capacity they can, and make MSE a School to be proud of.

Before the dinner began, guests were shown a five-minute video clip compiled by MSE Club that reflected on the past activities and events which the graduating students had gone through. They felt the

twin emotions of happiness and sadness as they remembered the four years that they had spent in MSE and NTU.

One very special item for the night was “Staff Appreciation”, where the graduates presented flowers and balloons to their beloved professors.

The night came to a close as everyone bade their good-byes and promised to meet again.

Graduates came dressed to their nines to celebrate

Even the lecturers participated in the games enthusiastically.

Here’s one for the MSE family album!

Everyone, let’s party!

A graduation night to remember for MSE graduates

Performances for the night kept everyone entertained

The graduates took time to show appreciation to their lecturers


with a gift package comprising a specially customised cashcard enclosed with a CD.

During the ice breaking games, Prof Andersson was very enthusiastic in participating, receiving rousing applause from the crowd. There were many other games which added to the fun and laughter of the memorable evening.

Other programme highlights included a video item specially prepared by the committee that included professors’ well wishes, student interviews, and other video clips and photographs of the graduating

batch. Emotions were stirred as everyone reflected on and reminisced about the cherished bygone days of university life.

What better way to reach the climax of the event than to open the dance floor? As the ballroom transformed into a disco, professors, students and committee members alike joined in the fun. The dinner came to a conclusion after the grand lucky draw, but every end has a new beginning − the road will no doubt continue for the graduating batch as they move on to more challenges ahead.

On Friday, 3 August 2007, Mr Ng Junwei, 22, ignored the pain in his

muscles and the weight in his chest, and ran with a purpose in mind – to complete the course as a dedication to those with an intellectual disability.

He was not alone in his efforts. About 400 people took part in the NIE Director’s Relay Run 2007, titled “A Special Run for Special People”.

Organised by the staff and student teachers of the National Institute of Education (NIE) for the second year running, the annual fund-

raising event aims to help students of MINDS Jurong Gardens School, by providing them with special education and employment development services.

Held within NTU and NIE compounds, the run consisted of two parts: a 2.4 km non-competitive course and a 4.5 km competitive relay course; a six-man NTU team emerged as champions of the competitive men’s open category. All registration fees were donated to the MINDS Jurong Gardens School.

As of 10 August, $45,000 has been raised for this cause.

Organised by the Alumni Affairs Office, the event at GV Grand, Great World City, drew an overwhelming crowd of some 500 Potter fans.

Alumni and guests started to arrive as early as 2.30pm. Many came early to enjoy the tea reception held at the garden terrace, taking the opportunity to catch up with friends and network with fellow alumni. The enthusiastic fans had a satisfying buffet reception before proceeding to watch their hero band together with other

“This is my first time attending a function for alumni. I guess for me it’s killing ‘three’ birds with one stone – food, entertainment and good socialising!” said Ms Jody Phang (GDTI / 2007).

The Alumni Affairs Office organises periodic movie screenings for our valued alumni, so do keep a lookout for more of such screenings!

福隆港之旅

和一班南大老同学一起出游

已不是第一次，但每一次都

值得期待。

有人说旅游好不好玩，很多

时候取决于跟谁同行；事实

的确如此，有频率相近的旅

伴，纵然没有名山大川，没有历史古迹，也会玩得开心。最惬

意的是大家都有一段共同的记忆，同时又没有利害关系，因此

说话不必拐弯抹角。

这一次我们去福隆港，三天两夜的旅程居然筹备了将近两个

月，然而快乐的时光总是过得特别快，一班人吵吵闹闹几天，

转眼就过去了，大家又得回到各自的工作岗位上，埋头苦干。

整个旅途最令我难忘的是有一晚，大家坐在宽敞的客厅里随着

音乐伴唱，歌声或许不是那么悠扬悦耳，但却非常温馨，一首

接一首地，居然唱了十八首，要不是隔天必须早起，相信大家

都不舍得回房睡觉呢。

旅途中出现了两个小状况—— 旅游车在后退时撞倒了一户人家

的小树，房子管家争论不休，结果旅行社赔款五十大元才得以

了事；其次是两位团员被水蛭盯上，狠狠地在他们脚上咬了几

口，让他们损失了不少宝贵的血液，不过还好，大仇已报，作

恶者最终不得好死。

和以往一样，回程时大家的行李包里除了土产，礼品之外，还

装满了欢乐的笑声和美好的回忆。

今年南大中文

学会校友会于

六月十六日在

校友锦贤家里

欢庆端午节兼

第十一周年会

庆。由于隔天

是父亲节，事

由凑巧，因此这个庆祝会还兼为那些身为父亲的校友们提早一

天庆祝节日！二十八个人济济一堂，有的聊天、有的看电视、

小孩子们跑来跑去, 非常热闹。校友们除了带来不同种类的粽子

应节、还有水果、蛋糕、零食、炒米粉、乌打、鱼丸、糕饼、

等等美食，大家都吃得不亦乐乎！在此，让我代表校友会执委

团谢谢大家的出席，因为有你们的鼎力支持才有我们一次又一

次的欢聚。希望今后会有更多届的校友来参与我们的聚会。

TanChianHuay(EEE/1994)

凌羽说：“开心，时间会过，不开心，时间也一样会过。既然

来了，就放下一切，全心地投入。。。”是这样的一个信念，

让我用心的度过中文学会的每一段岁月，把每一段日子都过得

五彩缤纷，而我也无怨无悔。

然而我一直以为我只是一个过客，三五年后，一切都要还归学

会。开心过及不开心过的日子。十周年让我发现原来日子真的

可以停留，只要你愿意。感恩校友会。

后记：我知道我没有说过，但我真的想说：我想我是幸运的，

生命有贵人。贵人是中文学会。协利说：“让我们多看他做了

什么，而不要去看他没做什么。。”松锦说：“用心记住他人

的名字，主动向他人打招呼，你会交到很多朋友。。”“有多

少人出席都不重要，重要的是大家玩得开心。。”太多太多学

兄学姐的智慧，如繁星点点，在我人生的途中指引方向，让我

把日子过得正向而多采。是要谢过的，我想。。

“I am currently training twice a day to prepare for the SEA Games to be held in Thailand in December this year. I am planning to race in the women’s single scull event, and possibly the women’s double sculls as well. During the previous games, I attained a silver, and I am aiming for gold this time round. I also aim to qualify for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Between trainings, I work as a sports consultant in my friend’s sports event company, Fronterra Group Pte Ltd. I promote indoor rowing to schools as well as stage unique sports events. Recently in May, we staged what could possibly be the world’s first Dragon Boat tug of war competition called “The Ultimate Dragon Tug Showdown”. It was a huge success with 56 teams & over 600 participants. We received very positive and encouraging feedback from both sponsors and participants. We had Minister Vivian Balakrishnan as our Guest-of-Honour, who took part in the tug of war too!”

SengChoonMeng(WKWSCI/2000)

“My first job was with a production company where I produced and scripted television commercials and television programmes. It gave me a real-life insight into the production industry and I put many of the technical skills learnt in SCI to good use.

Leaving the company after one and a half years, I started a company with an ex-army bunkmate. We had always loved to draw and doodle during our army days. Seeing that there was a gap for companies providing good illustration services, we started an outfit called Scrawl Studios. Within two years, we had built the company into a digital animation studio specialising in the production of Flash animation for TV programmes, websites and videos.

Today, Scrawl Studios is one of Singapore’s leading providers of animated content and games, and my role in the company is to spearhead the development of new projects as well as to secure international partnerships and deals. The technical skills I picked up in SCI served as a foundation as I moved from electronic broadcast to digital animation, while the soft communication skills learnt are an essential tool when it comes to business development and marketing.”

TeoNguanWee(MAE/2007)

I went for my well deserved graduation trip shortly after convocation 2007 with friends. We went on a short tour of Hong Kong and Macau. Unlike my previous few vacations during my undergraduate days, the feeling this time round is different as I do not have to return to face the same routine of rushing for lectures and tutorials and struggling to find a seat in the forever overcrowded canteens during lunchtime. Not forgetting also the mad rush to finish projects and assignments!

I count myself lucky to graduate at a time when the economy is booming and jobs are aplenty. Though still job searching, I am optimistic that I’ll be working real soon. Thus I’m looking forward to my next challenge!

DanielLiTengHui(MSE/2005)

“I’m currently a research officer in A*Star IMRE after graduating from the School of Materials Science and Engineering in 2005. How time flies! Seems like not so long ago that I was still in NTU mugging for exams in the library, holding discussions for projects at the benches dotted around the campus, and “tabao”-ing (taboo word!) food from the canteen to eat elsewhere when the seats in the canteen were all taken up. I met some really great friends in NTU too, friends I still keep in touch with. We even went on a second tour to Hong Kong recently after our graduation tour to Australia!

I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”

Now that we’re back in Singapore, some of us have not managed to
