The 29-year-old, who beat eight other contestants to emerge champion, now has a one-year contract to be a radio DJ with Mediacorp.
caught up with the Malaysian, who worked in Taiwan as an audio-visual journalist for close to 10 years, to find out more about his path to glory.8DAYS: Congrats on your win! How are you feeling right now?Honestly, I was pretty surprised after knowing the results 'cos I've always felt that this is like a dream. I'm thankful to myself for taking this chance that [eventually] gave me such a big change in life.
[I thought that] even if I don't progress to the very end, I can still go for my working holiday [after that]. That was my original plan.Yeah, I might just do my 'working holiday' here in Singapore instead. Or rather, a work-and-stay.Actually, in my heart, I would like to go to YES 933 first, and then transfer over to LOVE 972. But of course, if [Mediacorp] were to ask me to go to a different station, I wouldn't mind either.
The reason I want to go to LOVE 972 is that its listeners are a little older, so I need to be prepared with some skills beforehand. I hope to learn these from 933, before moving on to 972, and it would make it a smoother process.. After the last few months of training, I feel like he has sacrificed quite a bit, to be very honest.
Actually, no. I don't know why, maybe it's just who I am. I've always been very resistant to whatever people tell me, face-to-face.
