Committee
Hi! I am Sean. Yes how can I help you?
Describe yourself in one sentence.
I am a cheerful dancer, musician & entrepreneur who loves my family and puts God as top priority.
What are your hobbies?
Other than dance, I play the piano, guitar, drums, and develop iPhone apps.. And whatever that you see me doing all the time, except for going to school. Cos I don't do anything that doesn't interest me!
What are your achievements in NPDS?
I took part in the 1st to 4th TDA Championships, and I obtained several medals and certs throughout this journey. Also, I represented Singapore and took part in the Seremban Superstar Championships and got into the finals for one event!
What other achievements do you have?
Recently, I took part in the Ideawerkz Innovation Challenge (IIC) organized by NP... The execution of my idea got me the first prize! After that, I went on to Entrepreneur Connect (EC) at school of Business & Accountancy of NP, and got my company a $3,000 grant to kick-start my business.
What is your favorite food?
I love food. That's it. Full stop. Basically, I eat anything that has four legs except for tables and chairs. Everything is the same to me... Except for Barley and Bandung. And papaya. I don't even know why they exist.
What is your favorite dance amongst the 5 Latin dances?
There is a close fight between Paso Doble and Rumba, but every time I dance the Paso Doble, the entire me is so absorbed into the music, blended into the story of the dance and everything... Just feels so awesome... Unexplainable.
What is your viewpoint on the ladies?
Some say boys are stronger. Some says girls are better. Let's face it. We need each other. In life, in marriage, in reproduction and ensuring that the population sustains... Fine if you disagree. But you can't argue that we need each other in Latin dance.
Ladies are the best things on Earth.. Most of the time. Hehe!
What are the 3 things you love the most in this world?
1. Food. I live to eat, not eat to live.
2. Music. Imagine a world without music... And without music, there's no dance.
3. Technology. Man, I respect Steve Jobs.
What are the 3 things you hate about in this world?
1. Dirty toilets. Toilets are NOT meant to be dirty...
2. Slow computers. They should be chainsawed.
3. Public transport. That's why you see me doing business and hope I can make enough money to earn a car soon!
What is dance to you?
Dancing is a unique thing to me. Not only it helps me grow stamina, agility and flexibility, it strengthens my mind to be able to dance in front of a crowd of audience. It is a sophisticated thing, I would say. And there is no other sport that can replace DanceSport, really. I mean, badminton can easily replace basketball, vice versa and so on. But... DanceSport is so special to me. I'll never let it go.
Why did you choose DanceSport as your CCA in Ngee Ann?
I had absolutely no interest about DanceSport, and I didn't thought that I would join it during the early days of my poly life. It was not until I was dragged into DanceSport by one of my friend, Jia Rong, who was also dragged by our friend, Samantha. So there goes the dragging, and poof, here we are, we became the President and Vice President of the club. It was interesting, and I did not regret my choice joining DanceSport. Not even one bit.
Any last words?
I love quotes, and I am about to share one with you.. If you know me well, this is actually engraved on the back of my iPad... Well sometimes, life hits you on the head with a brick. If you think that life is being unfair to you, think again.
Life is fair, because it's unfair to everyone.

What is dance to you?
Dance is a part of me. when i dance, it's like dreaming with my feet. It kind of defines who i am as a person. to me, dancing is a beautiful way of communication, of telling a story and connecting with others. It's more than just doing the steps, it's also about enjoying each and every second of it.
The most rewarding thing that comes out of hard work we put in during dance, is the applause we get after each and every performance.
Why did you choose DanceSport as your CCA in Ngee Ann?
I took up DanceSport as my S&W (Sports and Wellness) module in DPA, and I really enjoyed it! So, I decided to take it up as my CCA. Surrounded with awesome instructors, seniors and peers, I began to love it even more. Even though it was a new genre altogether as compared to my previous CCA in secondary school, the learning process has always been fun and enriching. And now, DanceSport has been engraved into my life. I'll never regret joining NPDS.

What is your viewpoint on the gentlemen?
I don't really have much strong comments about males, but the only thing that I agree is that males do have more strength than us, since we, females need alot of support from them when doing partner work in dance! And I felt this most since I'm currently in girl girl partnership.

To me, dance is freedom. It's something that we are not restricted with, and is able to be express in anyway you want. If possible, I will wish to dance till I'm old when i can't move my limbs anymore.
Why did you choose DanceSport as your CCA in Ngee Ann?
Ngee Ann DanceSport (NPDS) was never my initial choice as a CCA in NP; all I want is to experience a different type of dance aside from Chinese Dance. Not that I'm sick with Chinese Dance... but it was my desire to experience something different! After my experience of NPDS as a sport and wellness module in Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA), joining NPDS become my another challenge to dance. And here I am in it.
