Hobbies
My hobbies include photography and gardening.
My choice of lenses when taking photographs are of prime lenses. The lack of zoom function requires more footwalk which leads to a healthier lifestyle and ensuring that one does not stand in a fixed position at all times. I like to think that I am able to view different perspectives from different angles.
I picked up gardening in 2023 where I grew cherry tomatoes, coriander, basil, chilli and spring onions. I learnt to understand that like junior employees under my guidance, both plants and staff requires nurturing and care to grow. This increases my motivation to be a better leader.
