Provide by Justkhai.Com Stacy, AF6 winner, receives scholarship from Limkokwing University - Translation from Utusan Malaysia, 21st July 2008 Nothing delights a person more when what they had wished or dreamt for, became a reality. Such was the luck of reality show Akademi Fantasia 6 winner, Stracie Angie Anam or better known as Stacy. A dream had turned into reality, when the girl from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah was able to progress on with her studies after failing to sit in her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examinations. Stacy got a shock when told by her recording company Maestro Talent & Management (Maestro) that she managed to further her studies at the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. She was elated further when she managed to meet founder president, Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing, who established the university that is making waves internationally and also possessing a multi-cultural diverse population on campus. What touched Stacy the most was that she would receive a full paid scholarship at this private university for the duration of her studies. Talking to Hits recently, Stacy said she was still overcome by surprise, with the attention given to her by her manager and Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing. “I am very happy when told that I could further my studies. I would like to thank many people especially Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing and Maestro for giving me this opportunity. “Prior to this, I did not manage to complete my studies following my family’s financial situation. Hence, I was surprised to get this offer,” an elated Stacy said on knowing the news. Stacy, who is the fifth in a family of six siblings, intends to continue her studies in music at the Limkokwing University, a majority whom are international students. In her brief visit to the university, she met Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing and filled in her registration form. “Initially, I was offered a place to study next month (August), but since I am tied to a very tight performance schedule, I have decided to postpone my entrance to February,” she said. Although she could be busy with her studies, Stacy pledged that she would not neglect her career as a singer. “My singing takes precedent as it was in the past. I will discuss with Maestro to rearrange my shows,” the 18 year-old singer said. Meanwhile, Maestro chief operating officer Freddie Fernandez when contacted said Stacy obtained the offer from Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing. “I feel this is a good opportunity for Stacy to learn all aspects of music. As her management company, Maestro would assist Stacy chart her career. Maybe she would continue her studies by getting a certificate in music first. If her achievement is alright, she could then further her studies to a higher level,” Freddie said. According to Freddie, Stacy would receive full scholarship from the private institution for the duration of her studies there. Talking about Stacy’s tight schedule, Freddie said Maestro would rearrange her singing commitments to ensure it would not disrupt her class. “We will arrange her working schedule and complete her recording process and album promotion before February. Our hope is that Stacy would use the opportunity given to her to her fullest and concentrate on her studies to build her career as a singer,” Freddie said. ____________________________________________________________ Stacy terima biasiswa LimKokWing - Utusan Malaysia, 21st July 2008 TIADA apa yang lebih menggembirakan seseorang itu andai apa yang diidam-idamkan selama ini menjadi kenyataan. Begitulah juga dengan juara wanita kedua rancangan realiti popular, Akademi Fantasia musim keenam (AF6), Stracie Angie Anam atau lebih mesra disapa Stacy. Ibarat mimpi jadi nyata, hasrat gadis comel kelahiran Kota Kinabalu, Sabah ini untuk meneruskan pelajarannya selepas terkandas sebelum menduduki peperiksaan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) tahun lalu, kini kian terlaksana. Stacy baru-baru ini menerima kejutan daripada pengurusan syarikat rakamannya, Maestro Talent & Management (Maestro) apabila diberitahu dia sudah mendapat tempat untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di Universiti Teknologi Kreatif LimKokWing (UTKLKW). Kegembiraan Stacy tambah berganda apabila dia juga dipertemukan dengan pengasas pusat pengajian tinggi yang bersifat antarabangsa dan berbilang budaya di Malaysia yang juga Presiden TKLKW, Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing. Paling mengharukan bintang muda itu juga ialah dia bakal menerima biasiswa penuh daripada universiti swasta itu sepanjang tempoh pembelajarannya di sana. Bercakap kepada Hits, Stacy berkata, sehingga kini dia masih lagi terkejut dengan perhatian yang diberi oleh pihak pengurusan kerjaya seninya dan tokoh terbilang dalam lapangan akademik itu. “Saya rasa gembira sangat bila diberitahu dapat sambung belajar. Saya memang ucapkan terima kasih banyak kepada pihak terutamanya Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing dan pengurusan saya, Maestro kerana memberi peluang kepada saya. “Sebelum ini saya tak sempat nak habiskan pelajaran saya kerana kesempitan wang, bila dapat tawaran sebegini memang rasa tak sangka sangat,” kata Stacy yang jelas begitu gembira dengan berita tersebut. Menurut anak kelima daripada enam beradik itu, dia bercadang untuk meneruskan pengajian dalam aliran muzik di universiti yang turut disertai oleh sejumlah besar penuntut antarabangsa itu. Dalam kunjungan singkat Stacy ke universiti itu untuk bertemu dengan Lim Kok Wing, Stacy juga mengisi borang pendaftaran. “Pada awalnya, saya ditawarkan untuk menyambung pengajian pada bulan depan (Ogos), tetapi kerana terikat dengan jadual seni menyebabkan saya terpaksa menundanya untuk pengajian sesi Februari tahun depan,” kata Stacy lagi. Biarpun bakal sibuk dengan pengajian, namun Stacy berikrar akan memberikan perhatian yang sama pada kerjaya seninya. “Nyanyian tetap sama seperti dahulu. Saya akan berbincang dengan Maestro berhubung penyusunan jadual seni saya,” kata penyanyi berusia 18 tahun itu lagi. Sementara itu, Ketua Pegawai Operasi Maestro, Freddie Fernandez ketika dihubungi berkata, peluang belajar diberikan kepada Stacy setelah Maestro menerima pelawaan daripada Lim Kok Wing sendiri. “Saya rasa ini adalah peluang baik untuk Stacy belajar ilmu muzik dari semua aspek. Sebagai pihak pengurusan, Maestro hanya membantu Stacy dalam membina kerjaya dia. “Mungkin dia akan mulakan pelajaran dengan menghadiri kursus peringkat sijil dalam bidang muzik terlebih dahulu. Kalau prestasi bagus bolehlah dia sambung pelajaran ke peringkat lebih tinggi nanti,” kata Freddie. Menurut Freddie, Stacy bakal menerima biasiswa penuh daripada universiti swasta itu sepanjang tempoh pembelajarannya di sana. Berbicara tentang jadual kerja Stacy selepas memulakan pelajaran, kata Freddie, pihaknya akan menyusun semula jadual nyanyian Stacy agar jadual kelasnya tidak terganggu. “Kita akan cuba susun semula jadual kerja Stacy dan akan cuba siapkan semua proses rakaman dan promosi album pertamanya sebelum Februari tahun hadapan. “Harapan kami Stacy tidak akan mensia- siakan peluang yang diberikan kepadanya. Semoga dia boleh fokus kepada pelajarannya nanti untuk terus membina kerjaya nyanyiannya,” kata Freddie lagi.
