Who is Sea Ming
I always wanted to study Food Science but as I missed the application deadline, I transferred in at my second year and extended a semester to satisfy all major modules. This reminded me the value of determination and perseverance. In addition, I was actively involved in NUS Buddhist Society and became the vice-president during my third year. On top of people management, event organising and marketing, I have learnt many life philosophies from Buddhism. As a bubbly person, I also never forget to have fun. All in all, I believe that balance is the key to happiness and success.

Reflecting on Research Report's Rewarding Results
Actually I find it quite awkward to post the report writing experience on the blog, when the report is actually not really submitted yet. But by thinking deeper, probably this is for us to share our opinions and experience when it is still not too late. If there is something that still needs improvement, we can still make up.
Reflecting on our communication process, our thoughts were quite clear among each other. We tried to make use of our time during class as much as possible, so that we did not have to meet up outside of lessons. We assigned tasks and deadlines of each week during class. If there were any changes or announcements, we kept each other informed in time through emails and smses.
One thing that I am happy about the group is the interpersonal relationships that were formed. Xiao Tong and Baoqing not only had rational thoughts and opinions, they did not forget to have fun during work. Although sometimes we were forgetful, thanks to Xiao Tong who was more alert and the other two of us who kept on supporting, we managed to keep ourselves on track. Baoqing, on the other hand, would say things that made the environment more relaxed and not so boring.
On a personal basis, I have learnt that we have to make use of time as much as possible to save time. Planning the whole research process right at the start may even out the workload between the members and give everybody a clear idea of their job scope and deadlines. On the other hand, this report writing process did help me in my thesis writing, like the format of pie-charts.
Thanks Xiao Tong and Baoqing for being so cooperative and fun. I enjoyed being with you all.
