A*STAR Scholarship Video 2007
Directed and produced the A*STAR Scholarship Video for 2007 with a crew of five fellow scholars. The video was produced to be shown as one of the entertainment pieces for the 2007 A*STAR Scholarship Awards Ceremony held on 27th July 2007, and to be used as a promotional video for the A*STAR Graduate Academy to use for publicizing the A*STAR National Science Scholarships.
Though the project did not receive funding, we managed to acquire professional cameras and software, from the Institute of Infocomm Research, to produce the work.
As an exploration of DVD video creation, I designed a DVD for the video in the DVD-Video format, augmented with a Data directory. This directory contains computer navigable video, graphics files, textual information, and a web interface. I am hosting a web interface for the video online, and the ISO image of the designed DVD. Viewers can mount or burn the image to view it.

Coursework @ Cornell University
ART 121 Paintings
I took an introduction to painting course to learn another skill in art. It was an interesting experience to learn how to see images as shapes of colour, instead of lines and shading.

Coursework @ Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)
Sculpture
For the 'O' Levels Art Programme, I had to produce a sculpture. I decided to do one as an abstract interpretation of the action of a single blade of a pair of scissors cutting a piece of fabric.

Scrapbook for developing ideas
Designs
Design training was an important component for the 'O' Levels Art Programme. I learned to produce designs for items such as book covers, posters, and brochures.
More will be available once I find some samples and upload them.
Drawings
I did some still-life pencil drawings in Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) for four years.
Will be available once I find some samples and upload them.
Others
I did other work such as collage and relief printing, through enrichment programs during Sec 2 and 1 respectively in Anglo-Chinese School (Independent).

MSN Emoticons
Recently, as a form of leisure, I've taken to producing some MSN Emoticons to brighten up my days, and that of friends too. Feel free to download and use them. Simply right click and save them to a local folder and create an MSN emoticon using the images.
Videos
In an effort to learn some video editing, I cooked up this piece depicting some of us building a playground for our church, Bethel Grove Bible Church, in Ithaca. It uses two video footages and a very limited pool of photographs, and was assembled using Windows Movie Maker.
