Hi, I'm Zhan Hong.
I'm an undergraduate at the National University of Singapore. I'm pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Communications and New Media with a minor in Computer Science.
I have a keen interest in design of all sorts. That includes UI/UX and graphic design, but also product, game, and web design.
In my free time, I like to play sports, instruments, or video games. Please take a look around at my site and projects!

Co-Curricular Activities
NUS Students' Union Committee for Information Technology (NUSSU commIT) [2022 – PRESENT]
As the director of NUSSU commIT's training cell, I managed the free workshops targeted at
NUS students to impart technical skills, such as the Adobe suite, Excel, Python, and HTML
(I adapted my earlier Bootstrap Bootcamp materials).
My responsibilities included managing my team of 15 trainers, together with one other
partner director, we trained them on the required technical skills, teaching skills, and
created workshop materials. We also handled administrative matters like booking of
training venues and marketing our events.

Hobbies
The more fun stuff.
I'm into lifting weights, and although I've read through a few books Namely, Super Squats and Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 original/forever/beyond. and forums/blogs (this one's pretty cool), I think I'm at the stage where I'm doing far less dedicated eating and dieting, due to having limited time. Still, it's a lifetime habit I hope to keep up.
I also play dodgeball, mainly in NUS. I think it's a neat sport that should get more recognition. Throwing balls (and hitting people) is very cathartic. I host and teach dodgeball sessions in my hostel in NUS.
I'm also into coffee, the kind where I buy my own beans and brew it myself, yes. I also enjoy playing the guitar, drums, and singing, all at a very amateur level.
Interests
I like teaching and learning stuff. I'm the kind of person who enjoys picking up random new hobbies and projects as well (finishing them, is another story).
I like thinking about design, definitely.

Academic Plan Spreadsheet
I also made a spreadsheet academic plan template, with CAP calculator. I made it for myself but it may be of use to you. Get your copy here.
Confucius Said...
I like this saying that goes:
"It takes two wipes (of the toilet paper) to know that you need three, but it takes three wipes to know you only needed two."There's probably some variance in how this quote is said. I think this version is quite meaningful, though.
To me, it's the corollary to the quote:
"Hindsight is 20/20."Where, yes, it's an admission that, with the benefit of hindsight, things may seem clearer or obvious. But, hindsight isn't something you have the benefit of having when you're in the middle of a situation.
So, the choices you make are often informed by what you know at the given point. And there's merit in that. You'll wipe.
