Who taught me stuff...
- Oxford University (Oxford, UK)
* Did Economics & Management (was told this was my part-time study...)
...so my full time study/job was actually:
* Oxford Entrepreneurs - Events co-ordinator (absolutely loved it and i was told i can call myself a founding committee member - cos i was one of the earliest ones! NICE!)
* Young Enterprise - Unique Fashionable Objects (yes, UFO - don't raise your eyebrows!)
Did "Flaunt It!" fashion show at the Oxford debating chamber - again, was told this is the first unconventional way of using the chamber - well normally it's for debating - stating the obvious, well i guess for speakers events too, so basically serious stuff...)
* Founded Asian Charities Target (ACT - ya i liked these catchy words back then...)
* Future Flyers (or the old Guild, this is what it was called - competed with the official Career Service in Oxford, we won)
- Cheltenham Ladies' Colege (Cheltenham, UK)
* Please don't tell me you expect me to provide my grades - of course i got good grades, how else could I get into Oxford... so will save you the boring details... All I want to say is: I had a brilliant time at CLC! =)
*right as we go further "down" my bio/CV/age, it gets more boring... so am gonna leave it at that - use your imagination.

MobArt Gallery
MobArt is an art gallery with a twist. Unlike the traditional art galleries, we don’t have a physical space, we are mobile. We “pop up” everywhere in the city and may one day appear just round the corner of where you live or work.
