About Me

I’m Tiew Treston from Chung Cheng High School.

Athletics. I began playing table tennis at 12, while most players start as early as 7. Despite the late start, I never gave up. I trained hard, stayed focused, and eventually caught up with — and even outperformed — many of my peers. I was proud to represent my school on the table tennis team from Secondary 1 to 4, competing in the National School Games (NSG) each year. The sport has taught me discipline, resilience, and the value of perseverance.

Communication. Since 2023, I’ve developed a strong passion for communication through public speaking and debate. I’ve participated in several international competitions, gaining both confidence and global exposure. In 2025, I achieved 1st place in the International English Recitation Competition and was named 2nd Best Speaker at an international debate tournament organised by Warwick Schools. This year, I was also honoured to represent my school for the first time at the YMCA Plain English Speaking Awards (PESA).

Leadership. Since 2022, I have been working as a life coach with the Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group, where I mentor and inspire younger students to realize and maximize their potential. In 2024, I was appointed Class Leader, a role that strengthened my ability to lead with empathy and support my peers. My leadership journey began even earlier as a prayer leader during my primary school years at Maris Stella High, a Catholic school where I first learned the importance of service, responsibility, and moral grounding.

Although I’ve started many parts of my journey later than others, I believe that with strong passion and hard work, I can not only catch up — but even excel beyond expectations. I embrace a growth mindset — constantly learning, improving, and striving to be the best version of myself.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me through this portfolio. I’m cannot wait for this opportunity for us to work together and achieve greater things .
