ABOUT ME
When I was introduced to pool, my first impression was the colourful balls. After I went home, the vividness of the
colours kept appearing in my mind, and I knew that my journey with pool has begun.
ABOUT ME
The words elegant, sophisticated and chic sprung in my mind while watching snooker players on TV, back then
when I was a kid. That spurred me on to finding my own destiny in this sport. When I return from competitions, I
like to go out to have a splendid dinner with my family.
ABOUT ME
I watched the pros played on TV and got inspired. Who wont? Their accurate mental calculations of angles, their
postures, their decisive shots the dynamic union of mathematics and psychomotor skills in action!
ABOUT ME
I am proud and honoured to be a Team Singapore athlete as I love the opportunity to bring pride and glory home.
When I return from overseas training, I massage my dog for at least 30 minutes. Strangely this ritual seems to ease
my strains immediately!
ABOUT ME
Pool is exciting and challenging. Pitting against your opponent is a battle of wits, perseverance and taking calculated
risks. I love hanging out at cafes, getting to talk to and meeting new people. I cant get enough of fishball noodles,
influenced perhaps by my mum!

ABOUT ME
Perhaps it is clich to confess loving a sport after watching it in TV, but if one asks around, nothing is further from
the truth! When I return from my overseas training or competition, the one thing I must do is to eat chicken rice.

ABOUT ME
I was curious right at the beginning; how shooting the cue ball at certain angles can trigger off a series of
positioning, enabling one to increase the chances of winning. This has been a lifelong lesson for me, learning from
trial and error till now.
ABOUT ME
This sport involves a lot of skills apart from mental strength and strategy. The formation of the ball are always
different in every game making it exciting even now! I like the snooker centre in Toa Payoh where I do my training,
because of the friends who will be there almost every day without appointment. Its like my second home.
ABOUT ME
When one door closed on you, another opened. Initially I was playing soccer. The passion kind of fizzled out one
day, and I found myself attracted to billiards. The first thing I do after returning from overseas competitions is to
put the winning trophy in the cabinet!
ABOUT ME
In snookers, one uses lots of brain and hard work. Though we play in aircon environment, the sleek suits we
wear belie the mental strain and physical endurance we are actually going through! Top 3 items in my list includes
traveling the world, dating my idol movie stars and donating my organ.
ABOUT ME
I am fascinated by the mechanics of pool. I learn about angles, speed and most importantly how to adapt and
surpass the strategies of my opponents. I learn to take risks too. Though I did not win all the time, it made me a
more formidable opponent as I am learning all the time.
