Self-Introduction

Dear Professor Blackstone,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you through this post. My name is Lim Kien Leong Evan, currently a year one telematics student in Singapore Institute of Technology.  I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in infocomm and network engineering with merit in 2016. After that, I went to national service for two years.

Besides from studying, my interest is cooking. I started to like cooking when I was young, as I would watch at the side and learn how my mum would cook. Now, while I am free at home, I would help out in the kitchen to cook food with my mum’s guidance. Also, it is fun trying out cooking with friends, you get to interact and bond in the process.

In terms of strength in communication, I am a good listener. I am always the go-to person whenever my friends require a listening ear. I would pay attention to what they say, understand how they feel, and give them truthful unbiased opinions or feedbacks.

As for my weakness in communication, that would be public speaking. Generally, I am socially awkward with people I am not close or familiar with. When it comes to speaking in front of a large group or giving a presentation, I start to get nervous, stumble over my words or even forget what to say next. Hence, I start to avoid eye contact and my voice sounds tight and constrained, causing me to present unprofessionally.

Communication is like a bridge between two individuals. My goals in this module are to develop on my public speaking and apply what I will be learning for my future. And I look forward to achieving more in your technical communication class.

Regards,

Evan Lim
