Why Virtual TSM?
You get to learn more about technopreneurship, meet new like-minded people, enjoy yourself, and clear a module! What's there not to like about TSM! Although I think a non-virtual TSM was what I was originally looking forward to since I enjoy traveling (I used to sail and windsurf competitively and have sailed in France, USA, Italy, Thailand, and Indonesia ) and seeing the world, a virtual traveling experience will be new, unique and seems like you can get some degree of choosing where to go!
Tbh, anywhere will be fun :D
Starting a business
I am interested in businesses that think of new ways to solve old problems and solutions that can make our day to day lives better :)
While I was in polytechnic, I co-founded a mini start-up with 2 other friends with some programming background. The company was called ThinkAgain where we innovate and develop digital solutions for our clients. One of the more interesting projects we did was where we collaborated with a secondary school and created a system that was essentially an e-diary where only a student per class was required to record the assignment and due date through a google sheet, and the whole class will receive a daily email reminder about the tasks. Parents who subscribed to their child's homework diary will be able to receive the email as well! (No more scamming of your parents that you don't have homework!). Beyond that, it provided crucial data to the teachers and school management about the students' workload over the semester (reduce the need for clashing assignments!).

What keeps you ticking?
For His Honour and Glory, the Best is Yet to be.
My secondary school and army unit motto, plus my faith shaped a lot of what I believe and do. Do things with purpose and with excellence :)
