Goh Zi Han has dreams of being a chess grand master. But the pandemic has limited his playing opportunities.
As he shakes off the rust and gets back in the competition circuit, he finds himself juggling schoolwork, CCAs and friendships. When an international tournament and a school chess competition clash, Zi Han must choose between his individual chess career and bonding with his school teammates.
Chloe Chua has been recently named the Singapore Symphony Orchestra’s artist-in-residence, their youngest ever. As the violin virtuoso prepares for a series of concerts and recordings, Chloe embraces the responsibilities of being a headlining musician, even if it means giving up time with friends and the desire to have a pet dog.
What does it take to be a Super Teen?

If you want to be the best, you have to work 48 hours a day
These kids have great parents ❤️
Wow, I am unsure how to feel. Chloe Chua has the meanest looking bruise on her neck near her jawline. @ 11:39 Pain for music?
Amazing and interesting series. Always good to see the behavior and mindset of these prodigious kids

I've heard Chloe Chua play, and she really is amazing. What is clear to me is that these two teens have immense potential to go really really far in their respective arts. What they need is essentially more time to devote to their art, in order to hone their abilities and develop their undeniable talent and potential to the maximum. I see a common obstacle in their path, their mainstream studies. If our education system can be flexible enough, they'd definitely flourish. Perhaps teenage prodigies like them could be given the leeway to follow a different timetable for their mainstream studies. We don't want them to drop out of school, neither do we want them to drop their pursuit of their artistic talents. So for eg, instead of taking the PSLE at age 12 in Primary Six, or GCE O levels at 16 or 18, perhaps outstanding prodigies like them can be allowed to take less subjects each year, and take the milestone exams at a much later age.
If our education system can allow for such, Singapore can realistically have world champions in many of these arts industry. That would really put Singapore on the world map for arts and culture. And if these Singapore talents decide to, or have to, pursue something more mainstream later in their lives, they still have the typical paper qualifications to fall back on. I really hope to see them go all the way and make their name on the world stage. Especially Chloe Chua, as I'm a classical music lover. I can't imagine the day when Singapore has a world-renowned, multiple award-winning soloist. Speechless.
Well done kids and kudos to their dedicated parents!
this video after chloe on twoset hahaha

Romans 10:9-10, 13
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved… 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Acts 16:31
31 …”Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved”…
Mark 1:15
15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 3:36
36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
1 John 5:11-13
11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
1 John 4:10
10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2 Corinthians 5:21
21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

1 Peter 2:24
24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
1 Corinthians 1:18
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Hebrews 9:27-28
27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Im a fan of chloe, first time hearing abt the boy, gotta watch some of his games.
I came here for CHLOE!!!
In 3:16 ,it looks like it is some murder case or something lol.

TWOSETTER ROLL CALL
Amazing dedication and hard work from both Goh Zi Han and Chloe Chua! They really deserve their respect and where they are now. One thing to mention is that socialising with peers the same age as you is very crucial to the development of your social life and health in general that shouldn’t be neglected even with prodigies!
Life is not always about winning. With such long hours of practice daily and losing out living a normal childhood I hope these kids enjoying doing it.
