As Baby Woon, I have a lot of memories and experiences.
Let’s start from the beginning.
In 1960, I was born and grew up in a home at Jurong Crescent Road.
I have some vivid memories from my early childhood, like attending the PAP Kindergarten at Old Jurong Road in 1966.
As I grew older, I went through different stages of life, such as my secondary school years in the 1970s and my first job interviews in 1977.
In 1978, I became the Chairman of the Electronics Club and also had a part-time job maintaining the S-100 Bus North Star Horizon Computer.
Fast forward to the 1990s, I had a successful career at American Software Inc, ATIO Corporation Inc, Spectrum Associates Inc, and Pivotpoint Inc.
Currently working for International Flavors and Fragrances Inc.
I also had some memorable holidays, like my trip to New Zealand in 1996 and my visit to Switzerland, Italy, France, and the Netherlands in 2017.
These are just a few highlights from my timeline, but there are many more stories to share.
Born in 1960.
Eldest son of Woon Khai Boon and Chan Yee Keng
