I began show jumping in Malaysia at the age of 14 on a thoroughbred with whom I steadily progressed up to the young rider classes were we made our first appearance at the CSI5* KL Grand Prix in 2007, in which we managed to place 8th twice in the young rider tour.
In January 2008 I got a new mount Caipirinha II from Etter Stables in Switzerland, with him I spent another year doing the young rider classes in Putrajaya and 3Q Equestrian. July was when I won my first Young Rider class with him at the Putrajaya Equestrian Park. As the Malaysian Season ended we moved north to Thailand to compete in two CSI* shows just outside of Bangkok, this was where I did my first 140cm class and placed 6th.
My goal for 2009, was to enter the FEI SEA World Cup Qualifiers which where set at a height of 145cm. I managed to compete in all of the qualifiers, placing 6th, 4th & 8th still on Caipirinha. In 2010 I got my new mount Kodac Du Roc from Willi Melliger in Switzerland. With whom I competed in the 2010 World Cup Season as well as with Caipirinha, both horses where well placed. In the last qualifier they managed 4th & 8th in the same qualifier. After the last show in 3Q Equestrian, both horses where moved to Elmshorn, Germany to the stable of Lars Bak Anderssen. For the last year of school in 2010/2011 I flew to Germany regularly to compete in shows such as the Danish Christmas Show & CSI4* Frankfurt whilst trying to find a balance with my school work until mid summer 2011 when I can move to Europe on a permanent basis.
