IN THE SPOTLIGHT…

In The Spotlight…

Ms. Nicole Tan                                   

1. Who do you admire? Why?

My dad. He enjoyed his life, didn’t care about others’ comments about him. He also showed love to his children and everyone else.

2. What is the one song that defines who you are? Why?

A classical piece called Canon in D. It’s peaceful, soft, and has a soothing effect on me.

3. What/where do you hope to be in five years?

I want to be somebody who’s beneficial to society, in terms of knowledge-sharing.

Edward Ong

1. Who do you admire? Why?

Genghis Khan – the Mongol ruler. I admire his no-nonsense personality and the fact that he conquered half the ancient world without batting an eyelid. That’s my kind of warrior.

2. What is the one song that defines who you are? Why?

That changes every week. Right now it’s Barbra Streisand’s 1999 album A Love Like Ours. It’s the most romantic album I know. There’s one song on it, a duet with Vince Gill, called If You Ever Leave Me. The lyrics go like this: “If you ever leave me, can you take me with you?” Romantic stuff, which is what I’m made of. ;-)

3. What/where do you hope to be in five years?

A published author or an editor. I hope to get out of education.

Jasmeet Kaur

1. Who do you admire? Why?

Someone who has a positive outlook in life; is able to smile and carry on in life after a thunderstorm. Also, someone who does not lose himself half way through as how Mr. Masukor puts it best, “I have my feet close to the ground!” And yes, I do admire this maths teacher of mine! His thoughts and take on life never fail to set people on their own ‘thinking getaway’. Today, it will definitely be hard to find people like him; someone who stands strong by his principles and does things he believes in, no matter what others think or say. And of course someday I would want to be able to live up to what I admire most in others! 

2. What is the one song that defines who you are? Why?

Something More by Sugarland. Something I believe in :)

“I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more”

3. What/where do you hope to be in five years?

Hopefully, I’ll be back-packing around the world! And also getting myself involved in community projects along the way. These have always been my dream! I want to learn through experience; good or bad. I know it’ll only make me a better person at the end of it all. :)

Tham Su Li

1. Who do you admire? Why?

Someone brave enough to chase his/her dreams, who doesn't give a damn about other people's perception and who doesn't get beaten down easily. Haven't met that person yet! Someone I'm not but want to be. Also confident people and those who are not afraid to make fun of themselves.

2. What is the one song that defines who you are? Why?

The Remedy by Jason Mraz. I won't worry my life away~

3. What/where do you hope to be in five years?

Married with kids. Kidding! Em, travelling in Europe/Japan with someone/people I love, and be more sure of myself :)
