Biodata

I am Sarah Ng Li Lin. The 2 things that hold the highest priority in my heart are my christian roots and my family which consists of my parents, an elder sister and all other relatives as well. I believe I am someone who has a strong sense of what's right and what's wrong, who will stand up for what she believes in, who has a great sense of compassion and who is determined in pursuing what she wants.

Currently, I am in my second year of studies in NUS majoring in Life Science. I hope to have double specialisations in Biomedical Sciences and Biology as I am really intrigued by the two. One reason why I chose to study Life Science, besides the fact that biology is my best subject, is that I am amazed at how intricately organisms are created; the more I immerse myself in the knowledge of science, the more I believe that there has to be a God to make all these possible. I try as much as possible to read modules that are entirely different from my major in a bid to gain an all-rounded education. My goal academic-wise is to graduate with a 2nd Upper Honours from NUS and hopefully further my study overseas.

I am currently staying in King Edward VII hall which exposes me to a more international group of people where I can learn how to communicate with them and learn about the unique flavour of each country. I can safely say that my study in NUS would never be as fulfilling if I missed the opportunity of staying in this hall.

Due to my chiefly 'science' background, I tend to participate in the more 'arts' co-curricular activities like being in dance society in secondary school to being in guitar club during junior college and more recently being involved in the set decorations department and cast in my hall, King Edward VII's play. I have held various leadership positions and my diverse activities helped hone my leadership skills, stewardship skills and more importantly, gave me a balance for my creative side and my academic side.

In the aspect of work, I have diverse experience which ranges from being in the teaching line, to being in retail and the F&B industry, and to being in the administrative line. The lessons learnt from these jobs are valuable to me as these lessons that cannot be taught in a classroom. The skills picked up in these jobs are definitely something I can bring and apply to my permanent job in the near future.

Outside of work and school, I am largely involved in my church activities, holding a leadership position in an all girl cell group called the "Fingerprints of God", mentoring younger girls to the best of my abilities. I enjoy playing the piano for which I have obtained a Grade 6 standard and I also enjoy the arts and crafts like making accessories and sewing items which I sell online in a blogshop that I own.

To sum up, I believe I am a one-of-a-kind person with a unique personality balanced with the down to earth and relatable disposition of a girl-next-door. Just like how, I like to believe, that the different areas of my life are balanced in such a way so that I can be the person God intended me to be.
