Jaymie's biodata

I am currently a year 4 undergraduate student in NUS, and will be awarded a B Sc. in Life Sciences (Hons) with specialization in Biomedical Science.

I have a passion for sports and journalism, and was appointed President of the Lianhe Zaobao Schools Sports Correspondents Club in 2003 where I was involved in organising a nation wide table tennis tournament. I also spend much time in church, where I am a Sunday school teacher to 5 year-olds and the alto section leader for the choir. I am a self-driven and determined person, striving to always do my best in everything that I undertake.

Looking back at the Research Project Experience

Working together with Mindy and Xue Xin for this research project was definitely an enriching experience. The group dynamics was good, and all of us worked well with each other. I felt that the main reason behind our successful working relationship is our ability to communicate well with each other. No misunderstanding arose during our course of work, and I can safely say that our working relationship has fostered invaluable friendship between the three of us.

As many of you may agree with me, the amount of time we had (1 month) to complete this research project was very tight. We had to do some form of editing or writeup almost every day, and our mailboxes were always flooded with each other's mails. It certainly was a nerve-wrecking period, but my reaseach group managed to stay together and focussed (and sane too!). Everybody showed initiative, and we all pulled our weight.

As for some of the improvements that we can make for our oral presentation, I think we can improve on our formal speech, and use less colloquial language. Also, we could build up our confidence in public speech to facilitate our presentation.
