My Voice
I had the opportunity to meet Elim Chew today and was impressed by her dedication in helping aimless or less-privileged youths to find their purpose in life. That, she said, is her purpose in life, to help people around her.
I bought two copies of "My Voice", a project initiated by her and just one of her many attempts to reach out to youths and to help their voices be heard. When I asked her to autograph the books, I was just expecting a signature, but she asked for my name, commented that it was quite special (I think hers is much more unique!!) and wrote a message. She wrote a different one for the other book.
Seize opportunities; Over-deliver; Sacrifice; Constant learning; Creativity; Passion; Dream, Plan & Focus
These are some of the things I brought away with me today.

She's founder of 77th Street, a shop that sells streetwear that's popular among youths. Her one tiny shop in Far East Plaza has since grown into branches all over Singapore, plus some in Malaysia and latest in China.
She's also winner of some Young Entrepreneur award or something, and has done quite a lot for various youth projects.
Hello. Nice piece about My Voice. I have a music blog that I'm trying to get going myself - just looking for a little inspiration! All I seem to have done so far is declare my undying love for Radiohead, the Killers and a rather large article on Live 8. The live 8 concert dvd is out today which should be fantastic. It's set to become the biggest selling DVD ever - not surprising really. Anyway, like I said, great blog and I'll be back again soon.
