Q: How long have you been active in Taekwondo?
I have been active in Taekwondo for 10 years now. It was since I was seven years old.
Q: What were your thoughts and feelings when you were chosen for the YOG?
I was excited and at the same time nervous as this is my first major game where I will be facing the best youths in the world.
Q: Besides YOG, have there been any other major event/competitions which you have participated in?
Yes, it was the Asean Taekwondo Championships where I won a bronze.
Q: How do you feel to be able to represent Singapore for YOG?
I feel excited to represent Singapore and and I will definitely do my best for it.
Q: How long have you been training for YOG?
It is since the start of this year.
Q: What do you hope to achieve from YOG?
I hope to achieve at least a medal but of course the best would be receiving a gold medal.
Q: How has the support from your peers been so far?
They have been sincerely supporting me and understanding me. They will come to see me before I leave for overseas!+copy.jpg)
Q: How have you been juggling both your studies and trainings?
It is tough but I managed to juggle it by going back straight after school and completing all my work before I go for my training. Sometimes if I do not have enough time to complete it before my training, I have to rush through my work after my training and submit it before the 11.59pm dateline.
Q: Who/What has been your motivation for Taekwondo?
Basically, for now the YOG has been my motivation for Taekwondo, as it is the biggest event happening in Singapore, I am very motivated to do my best at the event and I hope to win a medal.
Q: How do you think your life would change after YOG?
Perhaps, I might have more personal time with my friends and family. As right now, I am quite busy and my schedule is really packed. @
