Email: kuanhon.asc0910@gmail.com
About Me:
Hi, I'm Kuan Hon (KH), the assistant secretary of ASC.I joined ASC as a Main Committee Member because I feel that without a CCA, my poly life would be so bland.
This would also give me something to do during the weekends instead of studying and playing computer games...
I firmly believe in teamwork and preserving friendships as friends are the people that bring fun to your life. I also believe that everyone has their own thinking and are thus unique.
In my free time, I like to cycle and play badminton, and occasionally volunteer at an animal shelter.I hope to make school more interesting for the students in TP ( I Hope).

About Me:Firstly, I am a ballet fanatic, my life probably revolves around it! If I don't answer calls on weekends, I'll most probably be dancing. Secondly, I love to watch dramas, all sorts of drama, Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese ones. I can just coop at home for a whole, entire day watching dramas and even skipping meals.
A little bit more for you to know, I am a super ambitious person (I think). Do you know how many dream jobs I want to have! This is going to be not-so-short but not-so-long either. I want to be a pilot, then professional dancer, followed by wedding planner and doctor. I seriously think this lifetime is not enough for me to fulfil everything :D Can I have more time please?
And Lastly, I can't wait for the upcoming year with our ASC family (Of course, Sub Comms included!).

About Me:Hey Hey hello! Welcome to my personal section! Some people say that I look like I have a problem with their face when they see me sometimes but in actual fact I’m friendly, approachable and am open to anyone who comes my way!
Be it fun people, weirdos, jack-asses or plain, everyday, garden variety, I’m pleased to meet you! My philosophy in life is to imbue whatever knowledge I have unto others as well as serve for their benefit as well. A leader is a servant of his people.
I joined the ASC Main Committee to effect a change in the functioning, efficiency, relations and image of the club. It is in my belief when these factors are being balanced in synergy the club will be able to attract talent and flourish with a continuous flow of capable leaders.
I also believe that any skills that I have can be taught to future generations who will inherit the club’s legacy.

About Me:
Hihihihihi!
I’m the woman behind Public Relations. Haha! I feel Public Relations is the way to get from us to you, and that’s pretty much why I'm here. It’s an oppourtunity to know Asc from the many corners it has and by that I mean the people. By the way, I hope you'll get to know us better too=) cos we're a bunch of super fun people! though at times it may not be that obvious.
We try to fit fun somewhere into our squeezy timetables just because we can and because we deserve it after those long hours of organic chemistry or whatever makes your day go that bit slower. Yes we all know how it feels;P Fret not we're all here to help with smiles, and I may just smile the most=D

Student Training and Development Officer
Name: Howard Sim Yi Fan
Nick: Howdy

About Me:
Heelllooos! Heeh, I'm Howard just called me Howdy by nick. Welllss I'm not born a pure singaporean as compared to most of you, as im born half a Taiwanese and Singaporean. Cool ya,Hybrid. Hahaha.
Welllsss life is getting interesting as months passed by as a main comm. I join as a main comm is maybe due to my determination in improving the student's development in school, in another words more like a student welfare thingy, knowing what the student lack of , train and develop them, that's why is called Student Training and Development! And also my promise to somebody, not saying who..Hmmm~
I like TP for a reason, well i don't like JC? Nah, just kidding. It's most probably i have no aim currently so going to JC isn't a very nice choice for me.
Wellss, talking about friendship, the 2 words TRUST and LOYAL seems to appear in my mind. Trusting one another is one of the most important role as a friend or whoever it is. Is only through Trust that you can work with somebody and what i meant by work is teamwork! YEA!! Being Loyal means being FAITHFUL to another. Cool huh?! Sure it does!!
I'm a social kind of person that goes up to strangers if there is a need to, not being shy. I do study and play at times. I play classical guitar and I'm just an average musician.
And i hope to meet pretty girls in ASC, WOOHOO!! My Ticoh-ness~ all the way!!
Nah just kidding, well im looking forward to people that i can cooperate with and able to think logically when situation and problem occurs. Yup yup THAT'S RIGHT~!
WooHooo! That's about it, for more information please feel free to call me and ohya im available at night, hehe sound so wrong here XD but I Like it!

About Me:
edmund is a self-proclaimed perfectionist. i believe in doing my best in whatever i do and that should be the attitude towards everything in life. Doing work half-heartedly will only produce negative results and i do not like that.
On a pleasant note, like the others who wrote their biodata before me, i welcome our new blood into the studies club. With this, i shall end this with a quote.
'' Making a good road is not about the width, nor the length of the road, as long as it does not have a deadend, it is a good one''

see, i am not that unfriendly right?
cheerios =)

Email: dennis.asc0910@gmail.com
About Me:
I am a very lazy and nerdy person because my hobbies include watching TV, going to the movies, eating, sleeping and reading Harry Potter and Dan Brown.
The reason I joined the ASC Main Committee is because I really needed a CCA and ASC is a CCA where i can give back to AS in my own little way.
My life in TP has been a great experience, first of all, because of the events the previous Main Comm had organized.
Secondly, because I was previously a Sub Committee Member and finally because of the great friends I have made in and out of ASC and AS.
