<div style="border-left: #808080 solid 12px; padding: 0px 30px 0px 18px;">

* Since young, I have always have been amazed and obsessed about technology. I have been tinkering with gadgets ever since I got the chance. Over time, I have learnt how to assemble, troubleshoot and fix various hardware and software like desktops, PSPs, mobile phones and tablets by myself.
* When I was 17, I withdrew from Junior College after a year in order to pursue my passion in IT. I took a diploma in Multimedia Information Technology specializing in networking from Nanyang Polytechnic. 
* I have worked in IT and Project Management related jobs with Hewlett Packard, Panansonic Pte Ltd, Ministry of Education, JurongHealth.

<div style="border-left: #808080 solid 12px; padding: 0px 30px 0px 18px;">
===What motivates you to join TSM?===
<p>
* During my TWC and IS101 courses, I have learnt that the advent of the internet has leveled the playing field for small innovative start-ups (e.g. Dropbox) to compete equally and effectively with existing technology giants (e.g. Google Drive). This has made boundless business opportunities possible even for students like me. 
* However, I feel that such opportunities are extremely limited in Singapore due to its small saturated market and stifling culture. 
* I believe that joining this TSM would not only allow me to explore such possible opportunities overseas, but also expand my understanding towards how businesses, governments and societies interact with each other in a country other than Singapore. 
</p>

===Why pick South Korea?===
<p>
* Sustained by an sophisticated fiber-optic infrastructure, more than half of South Korea’s 50 million people play online games regularly. According to South Korea's Ministry of Culture, the video game industry makes up a large share of South Korea’s GDP. Additionally, the country's infatuation with video games has elevated cyber competition into a national sport, with events like the World Cyber Games being held annually. 

* With the increasing affluence of citizens and increasing internet penetration in large countries like China, it is no wonder that the virtual goods industry has become a goldmine to tap on. Moreover, the increasing success of indie games by independent developers have further convinced me that the video game industry is a very attractive industry to invest in. 

* Additionally, I have always been amazed by the rate at which South Korean companies are able to churn out competitive technological products (as compared to US based companies) and the rapid rate at which the citizens are able to integrate the newest technology into their lives seamlessly.

* Being an avid gamer and technophile myself, I am very interested to learn the secrets behind successful technological and video game start-ups in South Korea. With the accumulated experience and lessons learnt in South Korea, I hope to be able to start up my own technological company in the near future.

* Finally, as I am a fanatic follower of the Hallyu Wave, it will be a lifelong regret for me if i pass up this chance to experience the vibrant and exciting lifestyle in South Korea.
