“During Circuit Breaker, I needed to print stuff but couldn’t find any printers in my area. And during a casual conversation with my friends Mervin and Jun Kiat, we started to think about how much more of a struggle it would be for folks with limited to no access, especially those in low-income areas.
We saw this as a great opportunity to provide a community-shared sustainable solution to give people a basic need that’s often overlooked. After months of ideation and solidifying the business plan, we officially registered Print-Ez in December last year! And as we moved forward with the business, I roped in my classmates Zainul and Kok Fong, two amazing programmers who shared the same passion. It’s been very tough juggling school and setting up the business but I’m glad to have a team that’s willing to grind it out with me — some days until 3AM even.
The reality of start-ups is that the world isn’t a bed of roses and it’s only naive to assume everything will go as planned. We had to prepare for the worst and create contingency plans, and then constituency plans for our contingency plans. Because truth be told, people who don’t have vested interest only want to get something out of you. And I had to learn to wisely discern when reading people and the situations I’m in.
However, I’m thankful for all the support and mentorship we get from CODE, our profs, and our programme directors. Because of them, we have spaces to do pilot trials and tests. On top of that, knowing we have people we can reach out to has been very encouraging.
Despite the many “what ifs” in the beginning, the positive feedback and compliments from people around us really validated our ideas. It motivated us further to want to make Print-Ez a reality, especially as we move in a direction that’s bridging a gap by providing people with access to basic necessities.”

“I decided to start my own Photo Booth company after learning the ropes during my poly internship. Along with my experience planning school events, I wanted to explore it further in my own time and that’s how Happy Lens came about!
Initially, it was very tough juggling between school and work, but it really forced me to be disciplined. With all the pre-event prep like designing the film to the logistics of setting up, I had to learn to manage my time a lot better. It reached a point where I had to plan my time by the hour so I wouldn’t neglect my studies. And my grades actually improved during the first two years (laughs). It’s also been a great conversation topic during job interviews — it played a big role in my SIT interview too!
Hiring part-timers definitely helped as well, because I couldn’t cover all the events on my own. I really enjoy having my own team and we find joy in giving people tangible memories to bring home.
A big perk since starting Happy Lens is having so many opportunities to connect with so many different people. It’s been a very fulfilling journey thus far.”
– Cheryl Tan, Hospitality Business, Owner of Happy Lens Photobooth
