VJC Opening Speech

I was invited back to give the opening speech for VJC's annual music festival, this is what I said ..
Good evening Victoria Junior College,

Mr Chan Poh Meng, principal,

Mr Fong, vice-principal,

teachers, students and distinguished guests.

I feel very good today not just because I got the chance to step into Victoria Junior College once again ever since my graduation, but I am also very honored to be giving the opening speech to our very own annual Music Festival 2008.

Just like Victoria Junior College school’s motto of outstanding, outperforming and out having fun, As a director of NewUrbanMale.com, I make sure that everyone there works hard and play hard too. It is my philosophy to strike a balance in life.

I have always believed that a great student should not just be academically inclined, but also one who finds balance in both work and pleasure. Only through certain balances in life can one be inspired, motivated and also be creative enough to take on greater things in life.

I remember when I was a student here, I spent a great deal of my time in this campus. I was very involved in the Outdoor Activities Club, and often got to stay overnight just to make sure that the team spend enough time building the rapport, at the same time making sure that every task given was completed to a job well done.

Frankly it was not the academic part of it that left the strongest memory of this place. It was all the crazy things that I have done with my friends, class mates, team mates that formed my very own VJC experience that I still remember to date.

Music and arts like fashion are important aspects in my life. Where I am today is a built up from various experiences which I’ve gotten through relationships, travels, movies and of course, music. Like I’ve mentioned, a good student is one who owns the passion and drive and live life to the fullest.

And by saying these, I will like to end my speech by saying that all of us are students of life itself.

I hope you would enjoy the next few hours of this Music Festival and I hereby announce the opening to a better journey ahead of you.
