Heng Swee Keat
“When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.” I was reminded of this quote by John Ruskin, a 19th-Century British art critic, at the Closing Ceremony of WorldSkills Singapore 2014. WorldSkills is about mastery of skills. It has given many opportunities to our young Singaporeans to discover their flair for creating – be it tantalising dishes, smart automation, new ways to connect with technology, or other innovations that will make a difference in the lives of others. Over 140 student competitors went through this intense test of their skills in 17 skill areas and many masterpieces emerged. They trained hard and showed discipline and resilience that will set them up to achieve many other great things in life. One of them, a gold medallist in cooking, Loh Fook Lee from ITE College West, started cooking at the young age of ten! Inspired by his father, and surrounded by his family of culinary professionals, Fook Lee discovered his passion and a whole new world in cooking. He is currently in the Nitec course in Asian Culinary Arts, and I hope he continues to hone his craft and become one of Singapore’s top chefs. I want to congratulate every one of our students, and the many people involved in WorldSkills – lecturers, staff and judges, as well as the sponsors. For those of you wchosen to represent Singapore at the WorldSkills Competition in São Paulo, Brazil, I wish you all the very best to do yourselves and Singapore proud!

10th ASEANSkills Competition
Colleen Teah XinYi
Colleen Teah Xinyi, a Higher Nitec in Electronics Engineering student at ITE College East, is a polite, dedicated and hardworking individual who always strives to achieve excellence in her work. Despite having to juggle between studies, training and projects, Colleen always keep herself physically and mentally healthy by taking up Taekwondo and playing billiard with her friends. Academically, she is a brilliant achiever attaining a cumulative GPA of 4.0 in her course of study at ITE. She is focused and is able to balance her training for the 10th ASEAN Skills Competition and her CCA activities.
Lum Xue Er
When Xue Er first enrolled in the Higher Nitec in Mechanical Engineering course at ITE College Central after completing her N Levels, she never thought that she would be representing ITE in the Finals of WorldSkills Singapore, much less in an overseas competition like the 10th ASEAN Skills Competition. However, early on in the first year of her studies, Xue Er displayed a strong aptitude in CAD and design in her Engineering module – she aced the module and managed to catch the eye of her lecturers. This led to her eventual selection as one of the ITE representatives for WorldSkills Singapore 2014, as well as Singapore’s representative in the ASEAN Skills Competition.
Beyond acquiring knowledge in CAD and design, the intense training Xue Er underwent for the competitions have also helped her discover the importance of managing her time well. She had to balance her time between training, studying for her current modules, participating in CCAs and also making time to relax and recharge her energies. Xue Er shows strong commitment in her training, and she is working hard to ensure that she is well prepared for the competition in Hanoi!

Jovin Hong believes that it is important to ‘seize the day’ and make the most of the opportunities that are presented to her. She has a strong drive to succeed and excel, and believes in putting in her best effort in whatever she does. Jovin constantly achieves good grades, but what sets her apart from her peers is her strong sense of teamwork and commitment – her “all- action” attitude has earned her the respect and cooperation of her peers, and they would not hesitate to turn to Jovin for help and support.
Jovin is an outstanding student, who has been nominated to participate in many internal and external events such as WorldSkills Singapore, and the 10th ASEAN Skills Competition. She has also been nominated to attend various seminars and contributed in community service programmes, which showed her willingness to learn and improve her skills, and increase her knowledge. Jovin’s wide range of experiences and knowledge will put her in good stead to do well in the finals of the competition, and she relishes the challenges that would be presented to her.

Nik has an outgoing and cheerful personality, and gets along very well with his classmates. He is not only well-liked by his peers, but also serves as a source of motivation to them. A natural born leader, Nik has led his class on numerous occasions in various school activities, and is always willing to share the skills that he has learned as a WorldSkills competitor with his fellow classmates.
In order to achieve his dream of becoming a great chef, Nik has conscientiously sought to improve his culinary skills as he knows that he must have a sound technical knowledge as a foundation to do well in this arena. Despite facing the challenge of living in Johor Bahru, which requires travelling a distance to attend classes, he never let that deters him. In fact, he always makes the effort to be punctual for training and classes each day.
His talent has earned him a Gold Medal at the recent WorldSkills Singapore, and he hopes this experience and the upcoming competition in Hanoi, will be his stepping stone to greater things in the future.

She hopes to represent Singapore at WorldSkills 2015 in Brazil.
Farisha’s favourite skill is cocktail shaking, and is looking forward to serving real guests and getting to interact with them in real-life situations. “Every guest is different and has different needs; it is the part of the restaurant industry that keeps things exciting and different every day. Trying to anticipate what will keep them happy is what I like most about service,” confessed Farisha.
“I want to thank my trainer and all my lecturers, who have believed in me, and supported me to keep going and give my best! My Class advisor is always there to inspire me, and I am so grateful and blessed. It is an honour to be able to represent Singapore, too!” said Farisha with a smile.

Her dedication and effort towards her studies and her positive attitude are attributes that have helped Annabelle to succeed in the WorldSkills Singapore Competition. “After WorldSkills Singapore, I’ve gained more experience and learnt to manage my time well, so I think I can do well for the 10th ASEAN Skills Competition in Hanoi!” she said.
Chan Jing Xiang
Chan Jing Xiang (Kenneth) is a second-year Higher Nitec in Electrical Engineering student at ITE College East. Competing in the area of information Network Cabling in the 10th ASEAN Skills Competition is an opportunity that Kenneth cherishes. He believes this not only gives him the chance to learn a new skill – one which he was unable to pick up in past semesters – but also adds value to his learning journey at ITE.
Kenneth has put in tremendous effort and a large chunk of his time into practising for the competition. As the competition date draws near, Kenneth has begun to feel the stress of competing. At the same time though, he is getting increasingly excited. Kenneth believes that it will be an enjoyable experience and with the help of his team mates, he will be able to achieve a good showing in Hanoi.
Loh Fook Lee

The ever-present influence of his father during his younger days made Fook Lee determined to make cooking his choice career.
‘Iron Man’ is the nickname given to him for his tenacity and resilience. Fook Lee never fails to turn up for training, and has always been punctual. He is always the first to arrive and the last to leave for training sessions. Not one to shy away from tasks, Fook Lee could always be depended on to complete his assigned tasks.
Things were not always smooth sailing for Fook Lee during his secondary school days. Constantly up to mischief, Fook Lee put his parents under pressure with the countless calls they received for his mischief in school then. Disappointed with the less than ideal results that he scored for his examinations, Fook Lee decided that he had to do something to change the course of his future. He did some soul-searching and decided to give himself a second chance by joining ITE – a journey which he appreciates and savours now. He recently won the Gold Medal at WorldSkills Singapore 2014, and is looking to put in his all for the upcoming competition in Hanoi.
