NTU Impresario 2009 Semi Final, Junction 8, 8 Feb 2009, 4pm (Part 1)

I was the group champion during uni-days in Impresario. To see that students have brought Impresario to such a well received level, I want to re-introduce what I have always believed in --- Hard work and perseverence is the key to overcome any hurdle. Well done students !!!

The purpose of LIFE starts with a little dream. It becomes meaningful when hope sets in. And we get real when we finally decide to see the dream come true. DREAM BIG, TAKE THE STAGE !!! - this is the slogan of Impresario 2009. Exactly, when one dare to dream big and take action, he/she would be bring his/her to the another exciting and interesting stage of LIFE.

Friends always ask how far I think I can go making music independently. How many albums would I want to make before I call it a quit, then realising how much money I have lost?

My answer -

3 decades leaving in the earth, I have spent more than 1 decade harbouring the dream and incubating the idea of making an album. I dreamt to have my launch, I dreamt to have my autograph sessions, I dreamt to perform in front of large crowd, I dreamt to help others with music, I dreamt to tell people not to give up easily on your dreams, I dreamt and I dreamt ...

And when it happened, I know I never gonna quit. If it meant that I have to save another decade to come up with the 2nd album, I will. Am I being realistic then? I like to think I am because I feel everyone needs to do something for himself/herself. We need to tell ourselves we have dreams and here we are to take the stage. And when we do, we just have to enjoy the decision we have taken and do our best no matter what is the outcome.

So all the participants of Impresario 2009, continue your dream and take the stage and be crazy.

But but ... but make sure you have another means to secure a stable income. Dream Big, Take the Stage ... also means to We Gotta Get REAL !!!
