The Award is for YOU - Stories behind The Potential Scholar Award

(Me and other winners)

Today and tonight is my best ever day in life with the Award of Potential Scholar of UTM 2011.

I strongly believe that this recognition of Potential Scholar is the greatest gift given to me in these four years at UTM. Sincerely, it was not because the achievement or the award I have done or I have received; in fact it was because the recognition towards my contributions and sacrifices throughout the years. I felt touched and I wanted to cry at this Happiest Moment.

Dear everybody, I wish to share my Little Accomplishment with you because there would not be me today if there was not because of your help before. You might just indirectly helping me before, but your help is really meaningful to me.

There are few persons I really wish to thank to:

1. Dear Baba & Mama, I thank to you two for bringing me to the world and always giving me of full rights to make my own decision in life. I am sorry if I could not spend much time with you all these four years. But, I hope that my accomplishment today could balance up my mistakes. Mom, I special thanks to you because you never think of withdrawing from the family when there were many problems we met before; I love you MOM. I thank to baba again because I really salute your hardship, no matter how you scold me before but I will never angry with you because I know you want the best for me.

2. Thanks for my sisters & brother, especially Da Jie. I wanted to thank to Da Jie because she has really inspired me these years. I know you have a hot temper here, but I never put it in my heart because I know you love & care me. That is because you love & care me, so you scold me. I know you would never think that you are so meaningful to me, but I would tell you that you are really a great sister to me. If there were not because you, I am sure that I would not be standing here today and of course your contributions to the family is undeniable. I love you, Da Jie. It is time for me to look after your responsibilities, here I am ready to take over the responsibilities.

3. Thirdly, I wish to thank to Brother-Senior Kar Sing. Thanks for the support these years especially the “black days” in January 2009 whereby how we planned and worked for the best decision in our team. Today, the Potential Scholar Award is for the TEAM. I said so because I believe that the TEAM SPIRIT is the most essential element for us to make a success in life. There are people can have own agenda or personal interest in the TEAM but there would never be CHAI. No matter how, I owed you a “Ren Qing”.

4. Fourthly, I would like to thank to Brother Gary Chon, the best ever brother I met in UTM and life too. Although we just knew each other about 4 years, but I really appreciated what you have supported and reminded me all the time. If there is not because you to keep on supporting, reminding and guiding me in my academic, I think I will not able to get the result of 3.53. If there is not because Brother Gary, I will just walk alone and walked alone. If there is not because Gary again, I will not able to get the Home Sweet Home (爱之家) in UTM. You are best and You Are The Greatest Friend in the world that I have ever met. Your support, loyalty, honesty, loving-kindness and teachings will be always remembered by me in the deepest of heart. I promise you, whenever I am, there must be you too. If I could make a success in life, I will sure that I will bring you along together. No one can really understand how we passed through the tough life, but we were the persons who know all the stories. Thank you Brother Gary, you deserved to share with me the Award.

5. Fifthly, I thank to my hometown friends for supporting me too. Thanks Brother Lawyer Wong and Brother Ting for your kind support and cooperation. I love the time staying at your room, playing games and singing K. Of course, we would be great partners in business soon. If there would be me, you would be there too. Cheers.

6. Sixthly, I thank to my juniors and my comrades in the team. Thanks Nicholas, Siamese Huat, Wei Hong, Wei Bin, and Obama Tey for the kind supports all the time. Remember, we are the greatest combination of team in UTM. The Potential Scholar Award is for you all, not me myself. Thanks Meis, Berlina and other juniors too because you all have been supporting me when I was down and I faced with challenges. I thank to Chuan Hau, Cassendra, Wei Kiat, Wen Ying, Siew Tze, Zhi Hang, Shu Chi and Ivy for building me and Gary of Home Sweet Home (爱之家).Again, thanks Nicholas for leading the Home Sweet Home (爱之家) too.

7. Thanks her, you are very meant to me. If there is not because you, I will not work so hard actually. When I chose to be there, I chose to try my best to solve all the problems we had met. Here, I therefore achieved the best and I decided to stay in Malaysia.

8. Special thanks to my strong supporters - country leaders. Thanks YB Liang, YB Wee, YB Chuah, Chinese Association & Chinese Chamber, I always remember the lectures given by you all. Of course, I will do something and contribute back to the society once I step into the big community soon, I promised.

9. Thanks UTM, KTHO & FKA for providing me a nice place to train myself to me a good student & good leader.

10. Thanks those people that have criticized me before because your criticizes have made me stronger since a good leader is able to accept any kind of criticize from the people. As long as I think I am determined, then I will always endure whatever challenge or criticize.

Thank you and thank you very much. Although I received the award here, but I think there is still not a complete achievement yet. I am sure that the new challenge is waiting for me when I step out to the real society. I therefore to say that I will create a new life for me and a new benchmark for me - The New Life of Woeidar CHAI is Just Began.
