"Science stream to Art stream" - Took Science when I was in Year 1 of junior college. Despite getting promoted to Year 2, decided to make the crazy decision to switch to Arts because I've more genuine interest in that field and felt like I would do better there. Mum couldn't understand why, cried in front of the principal but in the end still supported my decision. After switching to Arts, that was when I met Karl, who eventually became one of my best friends, and now Co-Founder of HEPMIL. Without that crazy decision of switching from Science to Arts, I would probably have not met Karl, and there would most probably not be HEPMIL
"Grit, Naval Diving Unit (NDU)" - Like all Singaporean men, I had to serve my National Service and I was luck/unlucky to be enlisted into NDU, one of the toughest training vocations. The peak of our training was this infamous exercise called the Hell Week, where all of us are put through intense physical exercises for 5 day straight, with zero sleep and minimal rest; Going through it was what thought me grit, the ability to persist towards an end goal despite challenging circumstances. Hell Week was definitely physically strenuous but it was mentally a lot more torturous. When you're depleted of physical strength by Day 2 of Hell Week, it is my mental strength that really pulled me through. On hindsight, completing Hell Week taught me the concept of grit, that my mind is stronger than my body and that if I put my mind to accomplish something, not matter how hard it is, it can be done
