CCTF Christmas Celebration & MSBT Merit Awards Ceremony

Organised by CCTF, the event attracted over 80 student participants, with Prof. Zhang Tianwei, Prof. Lars Droste, and Dr. Tay Kian Boon joining us on site. In Singapore’s tropical “winter” , we felt the festive warmth of Christmas a little early.


The event opened with a welcome address by Professor Zhang Tianwei, whose sincere words and heartfelt wishes set a warm and uplifting tone for the day.

Students then took the stage and truly shone. The performances were diverse and captivating—music, dance, magic, as well as piano and guitar performances and group singing—each showcasing creativity and confidence.


The games session brought even more excitement and laughter. Activities such as emoji guessing, paper cup pyramids, ring toss, and balloon-walking challenges tested teamwork, strengthened connections, and filled the room with joy.

One of the most anticipated moments was the Lucky Draw, which brought the atmosphere to its peak.

At the same time, the MSBT Merit Awards Ceremony was held. Scholarship recipients took the stage to share their learning experiences and reflections, offering encouragement and inspiration to fellow students.

 

The celebration concluded with a Christmas-themed gift exchange . Each student prepared a mystery gift, anonymously exchanged through a lucky number draw. Along with the gifts, students shared surprises, laughter, and a few heart-fluttering moments—bringing the day to a warm and memorable close.

 

In Singapore’s winter,

let us be each other’s Santa Claus 🎅✨
