Congratulation to my fellow design school mates that made the 12 member china exchange trip. I'm sure that you all are not randomly placed here for no reason. I believe that all of us here have various talent to flaunt and done well in your respective courses. I also like to thank you for voting me as your leader, but i still believe in teamwork.As my coach also tell us in the game, the game is one hour clock ,how many times do you have the energy to played solely. We are human beings , not machine, so we definelty need friends to pull us up and assit us along the way. So i hope to see more team bonding along the journey.
All of us as the ambassor of Temasek design school and Singapore must uphold our character. As Mr Tan has said, we must be humble and must also at the same time not bring ourself down.I believe that a humble beginning is a great mark of a growing designer.
I guess we should see this opportunity, not as a chest-thumping, ego-inflating exercise but as a regonition for what we have done in the past one and half semester and still counting.We should realise that this trip , are necessarily arbitrary and flawed.Someone has to decide who get it and who doesn't. This judgement call is , more often than not,affected by personal bias as much as it's determined by the merits of our achievement.
Which is why we shouldn't see this trip as a measure of ourselves and an end in themselves. Intead, they are intended to encourage us to go even further and reach for the next higher level of design achievement to do the nation,the school, your close ones and most importantly yourself proud.You can also treat it as an opportunity for you to go there and look at a different perseptive of designing and come back to share the skills learned there with your fellow classmates.
For me , i feel that most importantly, we go there in a piece and come back in a piece.Haha, it may seem funny, but , i will placed that as my first priority. Maybe , i feel that we have to first find the joy of learning , then we can make our trip that a plesant experience. So, i certainly hope that u all will settle down fast. As your leader, i hope that you all can forgive me at times if mistakes are taken place as i am also human too and tends to get carried away easily. So,i hope to learn from you all too and maybe , i got something for you all to learn too. Cheers team. Hope this jilin exchange will be better than any year before and it will be possible, if we all work hand in hand together. all the best. All the best for preparation and remember to bring your passport and importantly your e-ticket and others.See you all at the airport.Lets us do our school proud.HOPE THIS TRIP WILL BE A SURE SUCCESS.
