AsiaOne Face of the Week - April 2007

 
 
 
     

Mr Calvin Bok, 29, a Field Application Engineer in the semiconductor line, has wanderlust.

The best part is he gets to do it as part of his job. Calvin is out of the country for about a week each month to support existing customers or get new ones in countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and India.

"Although it's a business trip, I get to learn about their culture and how people in other countries do business," he said.

On weekends, Calvin unwinds through sports like ultimate frisbee, which he plays competitively, as well as tennis, wakeboarding and diving. Of these, ultimate frisbee and tennis are what he enjoys most. Calvin can be found on most weekends at Bishan Park playing ultimate frisbee, though he's taking a break now as he is nursing a leg injury.

But not all his pursuits are outdoor-based. Calvin likes to sing karaoke too. He probably won't be taking part in his company's singing competition this year though.

And that is because he was the men's champion last year, "so I probably will not be allowed to take part again this year.", he says.

Why you should vote for me: "I'm outgoing and adventurous and I live life to the fullest."

 

Ms Ho Moon Shin, 30, an Information Officer with the civil service, likes to travel, especially to beach resorts.

"Travelling is usually a break you take to recharge. It also opens your eyes to a lot of things," says the former journalist of Lianhe Zaobao, a Chinese daily.

She tries to go on a long trip each year - anything from 10 to 14 days. In fact, she is now in Japan for 12 days - her third trip to the country.

"Japan is quite a huge country. There are big differences in culture, living habits, from one city to another. It's quite interesting.

"And I'm travelling with a different friend this time, so it makes the exploring more interesting.

As an information officer, she deals with journalists, assisting ministries in conveying policies and issues effectively to the media and public.

"The main difference now is the pace. When you are a journalist you are almost on call at all times of the day," she says.

Why you should vote for me: "I'm comfortable with who I am. That's the most important thing, isn't it?"

   
   
 

Game to be AsiaOne’s Face of the Month?

AsiaOne is on the lookout for two photogenic people to feature as our "Face of the Month.”

We will post two pictures each week – one male and one female.

AsiaOne roving photographers will either snap these pictures or you could send in entries as well.

At the end of each month, AsiaOne readers will be invited to vote for who they think should be the “Face of the Month.”

By year’s end, there will be 24 faces (12 males and 12 females). From these, readers will vote for the most popular face from each category, and the two will be named AsiaOne’s “Face of the Year.”

The winning couple stand to take home attractive mystery prizes, which will be announced later.
