Do you find it difficult to prepare mentally?
In the beginning I did struggle, but I have been playing golf for nearly 11 years so I have learnt how to adjust my mentality. Once I pick up my golf clubs, I am able to realise the situation and focus. Singing, on the other hand, is more difficult because I am not very experienced. After The Voice, I have adjusted to the rapid shift between golf and singing, as well as my studies, and I think I am able to manage my time. I have home schooling four mornings a week and in the afternoon I usually play golf and my singing lessons are usually at night so my time is quite well planned.
Are you a golfer who sings or a singer who plays golf?
At the moment I consider myself as a golfer who sings since I have greater achievements in golf. I am going to participate in the Asian Games and the World Amateur Team Championship this year and I think I can achieve more in golf. These are two big events and I really need to focus on them, I need to try my best. After that, I will be going to university next year and I hope that I can devote more time to singing after getting into university. I consider singing as a stepping stone to let others know more about my achievements in golf.
Do your parents support your singing career or do they want you to focus more on golf?
My family want me to concentrate more on golf because I have put so much effort into it especially with the Asian Games later this year. But they also understand that I love singing and they give me a lot of encouragement. All in all, my focus this year will be on golf and the two large tournaments at the end of the year.
