Who Am I?

Where Did I Come From? 

        Aloha! My name is Rokson (罗升). I am born to the Lau (刘) family, and was given the Chinese name Ponn (邦). In Mandarin translation, it is Liu Bang (刘邦), exactly the same as that of the first Emporer of Han Dynasty in ancient China.  Since this is such a very powerful name, I rather be known as Rokson instead (罗升).

        I arrived in this world at Youngberg Memorial Hospital. At that time, I was 7 lbs 5 oz. and 21 inches, a stark contrast to my 72 Kg and 183 cm now.

        My formal education started in Newton Kindergarten. That was where I learn English though I preferred communicating in Cantonese at that time :( I later went on to study in Catholic High School during the period of 1970's. I took up a number of hobbies. They are piano, volley ball, swimming and photography. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in Electrical & Electronics Engineering. So if you happen to be an ex-classmate of mine dropping by, Email me!

        There after I went on to serve my National Service as a Quartermaster with HQ 7 SIB at Seletar Camp. Two and a half years later, I decided to serve as a Missionary for my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for two years. For further education, I went to Brigham Young University - Hawaii Campus then Brigham Young University at Provo, Utah, USA.  After spending a few exciting years in a multicultural university, I graduated with a Bachelor degree in Science from the faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering.  If you are going to employ me, just drop me a note and I'll gladly send you my resume.

       I started my career as an Engineer for a MNC at Kallang, Singapore.  Although my title was a Software Engineer, but my responsibility has since on my first day been involving PC hardware / software installation, upgrade and maintenance.  In 1998, I have switched into Human Resource department doing technical recruitment.  This job was very dynamic and definitely very exciting.  I get to work with people from all levels in the company, as well as to meet with all kinds of people applying for jobs.  In year 2000, I decided that corporate world is not really my kind of life.  I came out on my own as a Self Employed to represent a company from Silicon Valley, USA, called Gold Technologies, Inc.  I worked hard for my commission only to find that I don't have a fix salary.  Every effort I invest determines my commission pay.  Very often, the effort and commission are not in direct proportion.  That is to say, Output can be higher than Income.  When there is no sales there is no pay.  That is the true fact of life.  Fortunately, I was building my own Business in Network Marketing at the same time.  I was marketing VIVA Life Science products and business opportunities.  In a slow and steady pace, I now have a network of consumers and business builders.  I strongly believe that this company is like a MPV (Multi-Purposes Vehicle) that can bring me to all terrains that will allow me to have my dreams come true.

       I have a personal preference, I enjoyed creative work, be it in software programming or dealing with people.  It is my wish to create a better environment to improve lives.  It is important to think positively as well as creatively.  No one owes me my life.  I have to make the best out of it.

        For social entertainment, I go to the dance studio every Saturday without fail. My favorite dances are Rumba, Samba, Cha Cha, Rock & Roll, Peso Doble and Jive. I am also a qualified leisure Scuba Diver. Just recently, I have joined an Archery Club.  It is my dream to represent my country in an Olympic event.  My choice of sports would be Archery.  I have a strong desire to do all that I can do and to be all that I can be.  Live life to the fullest.  Some of my other hobbies include PC dissection (Computer DIY), reading, watching TV and cycling.   I have also been a part-time actor for MediaCorp for a short period of time from 1998 till 2001.  Most of the time, I played the doctor role in the show.  One of the show where my name can be found on their production note is "The Tree".  I have also acted in "I Not Stupid" as the doctor as well.  Due to my busy schedule, I have stopped acting since then.
