FULL BIO
Singaporean, Co-founder of Le Shepherd Education Centre and Zioware.com, Majoring in Economics in NUS and 14th Batch of NCSV
I cherish every moment of my life and will always strive for the best in whatever I do, as I will only live once. Since young, I have always been taking up new challenges and love to meet new friends and associates. Although there are always obstacles along the route, I appreciate the falls I had.
As such falls always bring me great experiences and eventually lead me to be an enthusiastic entrepreneur. I respect everyone’s point of view and am always open to new ideas, as every idea may eventually become a great opportunity not to be missed.
(Just climbed up the Startup Exchange in www.tradevibes.com and top the leaderboard hitting T$2,000,000 from T$100,000 in less than 3 months.
- Achieve T$5,000,000 in less than a month after 2 million by 01 Dec 2008
- Hit T$10,000,000 in less than 2 weeks after 5 million by 12 Dec 2008)
