Were you a varsity player during your elementary and high school days?
no
What are your greatest achievements/awards as an athlete?
Our team won 1st place in an inter-collegiate Dragon Boat race. forgot when haha. we also managed to get into the men’s division finals several times, finished 4th place once, that’s the Final Leg of year 05-06. Our team is competitive, its just that some people don’t train as hard as others.
What’s your course? Are you enjoying it? When you were a kid, what do you want to be? Are you fulfilling it? Or do you have plans of fulfilling it in the future?
Business Management. hmm.. The program was not what I expected it to be but it taught me many things.
When I was a kid, I want to be a doctor.. until I saw a man bleeding profusely, that’s when I realized that I can’t handle such things hahaha
Is it hard balancing academics and athletics at the same time? How’s your studies?
For me, it’s quite hard. I allot more time for my extra curricular activities.
Any lucky charm? Where’d you get it?
none. I just inspire myself to train hard. perform better than I did before.
Who are the players you look up to or any idols?
I admire our Dragon Boat National Team for their discipline. Also, the team Camsur, for proving that you don’t need big back and arms to win a dragon boat race.
