It came from my obsession to explain concepts and ideas as clear as possible in simple language to my family members and friends. I also love to create experiences for people to enjoy. I guess it\u2019s the theatre actor in me that drives me.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-in-your-experience-teaching-at-mdis-what-can-you-say-about-your-students\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_your_experience_teaching_at_MDIS,_what_can_you_say_about_your_students\"><\/span><strong>In your experience teaching at MDIS, what can you say about your&nbsp;students?<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">MDIS has many innovative students driven strongly by their passion. They desire to achieve what they have set their minds on. What fuels me is their courage to show their authentic selves and wanting to tell good stories.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-explain-your-linkedin-bio-refining-academia-post-covid\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explain_your_LinkedIn_Bio,_%E2%80%9CRefining_Academia_PostCovid%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>Explain your LinkedIn Bio, \u201cRefining Academia Post-Covid&#8221;.<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Covid-19 has challenged our presumptions and habits in life. Academia has also changed. Pivot is not an encompassing word, for it seems to suggest that academics have abandoned existing ways of teaching and learning. For me, existing systems of teaching and learning still works. All we need to do is to refine them, which I have devoted myself to do so in my daily work in higher education.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-with-your-background-in-performing-arts-what-advice-would-you-give-to-young-aspiring-students\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"With_your_background_in_Performing_Arts,_what_advice_would_you_give_to_young_aspiring_students\"><\/span><strong>With your background in Performing Arts, what advice would you give to young aspiring students?<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Stay true to what you believe in. Creativity is boundless. As long as you discover the fundamentals that matter, the rest is just creative playing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-insta-gramslam-explain-the-following-photos-taken-from-your-instagram\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_InstaGramslam_Explain_the_following_photos_taken_from_your_Instagram\"><\/span><strong>The Insta-Gramslam: Explain the following photos taken from your Instagram<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"A picture containing people, several\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-3508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-1.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-1-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I directed the final year production for entertainment arts students in Malaysia. It was a memorable show as it marked the final graduation of students into the entertainment world in Malaysia. Each student is unique and discovering their unique selves and presenting them on stage for the world is challenging and yet rewarding.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"725\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"A group of people in a room\n\nDescription automatically generated with medium confidence\" class=\"wp-image-3507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image.jpeg 725w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In 2020, during the pandemic, I assembled a group of artists to explore how media viewers could enjoy performance in the comfort of their homes behind a screen with a pair of good headphones. This project challenges the notion that performances could only be experienced live\/in-person. However, I think audience imagination has the power to do more than that. Feedback to our show seems to have proven so.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take \u201cA Peek Into\u201d Dr Richard\u2019s Life, Senior Lecturer from the School of Business and Social Sciences (SBSS). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":283,"featured_media":3506,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3398],"tags":[3458],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3505"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/283"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3505"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3505\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3601,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3505\/revisions\/3601"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
