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.
As a member of my school's table tennis team, I have also took part in multiple NSGs with all of them clinching top 4 in the competition and getting the chance to play in the nationals. These are some of my team's placement during my time as a student in Chung Cheng.

In addition to the National School Games (NSG), I also took part in many competitions organised by the Singapore Table Tennis Association between 2022 and 2025. I truly enjoy competing — whether I win or lose, each match is a valuable learning experience. Every competition pushes me to improve, sharpen my skills, and grow as both a player and a person.
