How’s your preparation leading up to Singapore Open?
Preparation has been intense the past few months! Including Heptathlon training, I’ve been training up to 8 times a week! Right now, I’m tapering so lots of sleep for me this week.
What is your expectation in terms of results at Singapore Open?
I hope to do a personal best for my 400m individual race. With the competition from the foreign athletes, I hope to push myself further in preparation for Asian Games!
Who do you look up to (eg idol, mentor) for inspiration?
I look up to my coach (Mr Melvin Tan) quite a lot. Other than being my coach, he supports and encourages me mentally and spiritually. Mr Tan is an inspiration to many I know.
How did you get started in athletics?
I started high jump in Macpherson Secondary School and transited to 400m in Hwa Chong Junior College. I wanted to run ever since I won all my male classmates in 1.6km in Primary 4, hehe.
