Creative Pursuits + Hobbies

I really enjoy writing both longer pieces as well as poetry. These are some of my favourite pieces, written at odd hours of the night curled up under my blanket:

Acrylics, water colours, oil pastels, soft pastels, pen. I've experimented with them all. 

After 5 years of Theatre at the Studio and 5 Trinity College London Speech and Drama Examinations, I am now confident speaking in front of large audiences, and embrace emceeing with a huge smile! I've emceed events such as my seniors' graduation ceremony (with 500+ attendees!), a Farmers' Market and a Sustainable Fashion Show!

The beach is my happy place, be it underwater witnessing the stunning flora and fauna, or gliding above the waves on my surfboard! I recently got my PADI Open Water certification and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I adore swimming (learned when I was 2!) and have participated in various competitions since!

Having done dance in school for 9 years, performing at Independence day functions or end-of-the year shows, I've had the pleasure of learning various unique dance forms. When stressed, I head over to my keyboard and play one of the many pieces I've learnt - Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata or even Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars - to calm me down.

In my free time (or procrastinating the night before an exam), you can find me binging NCAA gymnastics meets or IFSC bouldering finals on YouTube. In the summer of 8th grade, I was at the gym from 8am to 1pm 6 days a week, training for 3 hours followed by my internship teaching kids aged 3-12 different arts and craft!
