Good Morning Honored
Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen and the Graduating Class of 2010.

said that change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.
As you stand on the brink of moving into life beyond Limkokwing University,
change will be inevitable! It is inevitable and indeed gratifying to see that
our Graduating Class of 2010 matured and became skills proficient ready to
tackle and further their life-long education. It is
inevitable that structures and processes and relationships will change in their
day-to-day lives. It is inevitable that things may seem a little different in
the year ahead. Yes, life is definitely going to become a little "shaken
up and stirred". But as we look on a journey - a journey that started
out with hesitant, tentative steps, we see just how far these young Ladies and
Gentlemen have progressed. It has been an honor and a privilege being part of
their journey and one which has been imbued with wonderful memories.
Four years back,
when I just came to this university, I was still a teenager who knows nothing
on mass communication. The only thing I know is I have a dream which needs me
to fulfill and this place is going to be my dream factory Throughout the years,
I learned, I practiced and kept on trained myself especially in broadcasting
field because my dream is to become a radio DJ. I joined the campus radio Wings
Radio as a DJ. And that is the place that transforms me to somebody. I learned
and explore the broadcasting world from here. After I joined wings radio, I got
the chance to become the emcee in some of the big events in university and I
was once invited by Universal Music to become the emcee for their artist’s
event. I feel honored as I was given this chance to prove that I am a
professional trained by Limkokwing Univeristy.
In June this year, I was selected by a local
radio station Star to become their Univeristy DJ. I still remember the
interview for this event, I thought It is going to be a close door interview
session but after I registered I was given a few topic to choose talk on stage.
By that time, only I realize I gotta go up and stand on stage and talk about
the topic that I chose. I really never expect there is going to be so many
audience. I feel panic and nervous because I was given only a few minutes to
think of what am I going to talk later and worst thing worst is that I was the
first one to go on stage. Then I told myself, I used to train myself so many
times in wings radio and why do I need to panic at this moment? Just do like what
I use to do for my radio program in school. Thank god, I made it I was selected
among hundreds of contestant in Malaysia. After that, I was required to produce
my own radio program and submit to the radio station. Surprisingly, they were
very impressed by my radio program, they like it very much and I was again
chosen among so many talented UDJ to go on air and talk about my program. I
felt honored seriously because all of the UDJ are very good I never thought
that I will be given this chance to do so. I remember when I was sitting inside
the studio, I feel so happy and excited because that was my first time go on
air in a live program in a radio station. Of coz I feel nervous, as that was a
live program and there were so many people listening out there. You know one
thing that really inspired me is that on that day many listeners sending
message to the radio station and gave their feedbacks on my performance and I
was really glad that they like my voice, the audience like my voice and my
performance. That means so much to me! I remembered there was one question that
the DJ asked me, she said:” why do you choose to be a DJ and how do you
overcome everything and sitting here today? Then I replied:” I have a dream, a
song to sing, to help me cope with anything...”Yes, because I have a dream, I
persevere until the end and that makes me here. I always believe that when
there is a will there is a way. If you really want to achieve your dream, never
give up and persevere until the day you fulfill it. That was a really nice and
precious experience that I had ever, that really inspire me to continue to work
harder.
Now, I was hired as
a radio DJ in a local internet radio station. I made it, I achieve my dream! There is no word that I could use to describe
my happiness that time when I know I was hired as an DJ, after so many years so
hard work, go through so many hardiness in life, it is not easy but I finally
achieved it. I would like to thank my parents for supporting me all the times
and spending their money on my education, I really appreciate that, without my
parents I won’t be standing here. To my fellow friends here, congratulations
and wish you all success on your life. Do not give up your dream! Last but not
least, thank you Limkokwing University for transforms me from a ‘nobody’ to
‘somebody’ you give me wings to fly!
Thank you and
congratulations!
