Who is Joeis Tan?
Hello, thanks for reaching out to me! I’m Joeis, a graduate from Singapore Management University with a Bachelor of Accountancy, majoring in accounting and finance (Investment Banking). Currently working as an auditor, as well as freelancing for shoots and events. I was previously the grand champion of The Straits Times Classified Car Ambassador 2014.

You took home the title of The Straits Times Classified Car Ambassador in 2014. How was the whole experience like for you?
That was a pretty exciting journey for me, especially for someone who has never taken part in any of such pageants before. Most of the finalists had some form of pageant-related experience and more often than not, I had to step out of my comfort zone to learn everything from scratch. I used to have stage fright, so being able to stand in front of the mass crowd for the Q&A segment was my greatest obstacle. Fortunately, it all turned out well.
I believe these challenges made me a better and stronger person. I must say this was truly an enriching and fulfilling experience for me and it opens me up to a whole new life chapter ever since. I’m really thankful for the opportunities presented to me as well as having the chance to meet and work with a lot of new people.

What made you join the pageant and did you think you would win?
The decision to take part in The Straits Times Classified Car Ambassador pageant didn’t come easy. My main driving force was the encouragement from my family and friends. I never thought I would win actually. In fact, competition was stiff given that all other contestants possess the qualities of a pageant queen. I was truly blessed with good friends and family who gave me huge encouragement and support throughout that period.
On hindsight, I was really glad I made the decision to take part in this pageant. Other than the huge media exposure and wonderful learning journey I gained through this experience, I made many good friends along the way.

If you could choose to own any model of car, what will it be?
I would want to own a Volkswagen Beetle. Since its production, the Beetle has always been well-received because of its compact size and distinctive features. To me, it’s one of the most successful cars because the Beetle weathered through stiff competition and overcame all problems faced previously. It is a car that never said die and withstood the stand of time to be firmly established as one of today’s best-selling car models in the world. I hope to define myself with this never say die spirit and live a legacy like the Beetle has.

If you had the chance to time travel, past or present, where will it be?
I’ve never thought about this before haha! I’m more of a forward looking person and I firmly believe it’s the learning journey of one’s past that shapes who we are today. Yet at the same time I prefer to retain the suspense of how my future will be like. So.. I guess I would still want to remain at present. Besides, I’m enjoying every moment of my life now!

Do you have any hobbies?
I love taking up new courses and learning something different. I try to make it a point to go for a jog or hit the gym once a week to keep fit and of course, playing a couple of games of DOTA every night before I sleep!

Are you more of a morning person or night owl?
Definitely a morning person! As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm – I prefer waking up early in the morning for a hearty breakfast followed by accomplishing tasked planned for the day early.
