Subject : James, 20 year old undergrad at NUS, SoC
Having come from a low-income but loving family, James used to spend his childhood hanging out at family gatherings, having fun with his cousins and relatives. Being an only child, his parents take very good care of him, providing him whatever that he needs as best as they can. However, these materialistic toys are not what James want. What he wants are friends with whom he can play together with, to have stayovers with and to hang out with. Thus, whenever he goes to a new school, he tries his best to take part in camps and social activities, to know as many friends as possible.
Recently, James graduated from his college and was accepted into the School of Computing in NUS. With his strong IT, computing background, James likes to help his friends with their programming labs. He finds it a joy to teach his friends, and gets a sense of satisfaction whenever his friends manage to understand and complete their labs. Whenever he is posed with a difficult programming problem, he would put in his best effort and feels a sense of achievement when he successfully solves the problem.
Being the one with strong IT background, friends and family often ask James for advice or help on matters such as how to use a particular software, how to install programs and how to use the internet. James takes pride in himself as being the one whom everyone looks for, when it comes to IT matters.
In order to have a balance between work and play, and to make more friends, James signed up as a Freshmen Orientation Camp group leader. During the camp, James felt a close bond to his group, as they were very active, lively and enthusiastic. They became a tight-knit group who shared stories about themselves and supported each other in team games.
Now that the summer camp is over, James misses his group often and would thus try to organise outings in order to keep the group together. Being someone who wants his group to have thorough fun, and to ensure that everything goes well, James does the contacting and sending out of sms-es himself. Although he finds it difficult to include all the details of the outing in an sms, James still thinks it is the best way to get everyone's responses. And when someone replies and asks him questions such as "how to get there?" "who's going?" "want to meet somewhere first and go together?", he replies each and every sms without complaints.
During his free time, James engages in online gaming, going out with his girlfriend, playing basketball with his friends, spending time with his family and of course, organising outings for his favourite group. James is a responsible young man. Now that he is already 20, he tries his best not to rely so much on his parents. Using his monthly allowance, he pays for his handphone bill, transport and food. As he is a somewhat thrifty person with a huge handphone bill to pay(because of the organising of outings), James would only eat the cheapest food that he can find in school, and refrains from buying drinks or snacks.
Despite always having a busy schedule, James would still try to make time for his girlfriend. They spend most of their time playing online games together, and watching dvds at home. Once in a while, James would surprise his girlfriend by taking her to dine in a nice restaurant, even though it means that he would have to eat lesser in the following days
