Early life

She left the team three years later. She also won the National Inter-School A Division Softball Girls championship title with VJC in 2002.[citation needed]

In May 2010, Chin announced that she would be switching to part-time acting to study for a BBA degree in the National University of Singapore Business School.[4] In 2012, Chin told the Singaporean magazine 8 Days that she would be in Shanghai for one year as part of the NUS Overseas Colleges programme. [citation needed]
