My name is Lam YingFeng, a 20-year-old undergraduate of the National University of Singapore (NUS). I am currently studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Chemistry (Food Science and Technology).
I enjoy my current field of study and would like to go into the Food & Beverage industry or nutritional advisory sector when I graduate. I am analytical and have a keen eye for details, making me suitable for food safety management.
I have participated actively in various activities in the years of my academic studies. These range from organising events to sports, and even the performing Arts.
In my spare time, I also enjoy socialising with friends but would also appreciate some time alone for reflections. Having a vicarious and optimistic nature, I am often unfazed by setbacks but strive to improve the situation to the best of my ability.

#5 - Reflecting on the Research Project Experience
Through the course of documenting my research project, I realized how the dynamics of a group will determine its success. Interpersonal communication was not much of a problem right from the beginning because my project group comprised of outspoken individuals, and we all found it very easy to relate ideas and suggestions to each other. Being receptive to ideas helped us explore various ways of resolving problems and thus, we rarely found ourselves stuck in dilemmas.
Each of us had different expertises which were applicable and relevant to our research project --- the feasibility of establishing a Bubble Tea stall on campus. For example, the Statistics major took charge of tabulating and analyzing the survey results while the Food Science and Technology major took charge of discussing the medical threats and benefits of Bubble Tea. I feel that this is a very good system as it allows each of us to utilise our knowledge and skills to their maximum potential. We can definitely extend this to our oral presentation, whereby each of us can present on the area of our expertise.
On top of these, I also realized the importance of being a team player. Contributing sound ideas and submitting relevant tasks on time were vital to completion of the report. All it takes is one irresponsible member to hamper the progress of the group and I am very glad to say that we did not experience such an encounter thus far. Having a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of my group mates will allow us to work together more efficiently with one another in the future.
