SEGi College Student Won The Flydol Crown

Hansen Lee, winner of Flydol.

5th October 2006 SEGi College student Hansen Lee is the first DJ reality show winner of Flydol organised by leading radio station, FlyFM. “I was really happy that I won as my fellow finalists are very competitive and all of them are very talented,” said Hansen, who is currently pursuing the 4+0 American Degree Program (ADP) offered by The Faculty of American Degree Studies at SEGi College of Graduate Studies, a member of SEGi Group of Colleges. Not only blessed with a gift of the gab, Hansen is also a marketer, a freelance model and a fitness trainer. With such a demanding life, time management is essential to him.

“Time management is very important in my life, and I always make sure everything is in its tip-top condition as I cannot afford to make any slight mistake. My air-time in FlyFM is at 6am early in the morning during weekends. I have to wake up at 4am to catch a train. I cannot oversleep or miss the train because I might just miss my air-time,” explains Hansen.

“Other than that, I do not live in Subang, and my college is located at USJ, so I have to drive a long way just to attend a 2-hour class but I make it a must as a degree is something that I owe to myself, and I want to complete it.”

With such an interesting life with many career possibilities, Hansen still holds fast to his belief in obtaining higher education. “Studying has been something that I have always wanted to do, although I might be busy as I am working in so many areas. Things do not come easily as I have to sacrifice a lot of my time, no more weekend late night parties for me.”

The Flydol crown didn't come easily for Hansen. He put in a lot of hard work and effort to pursue his dream in becoming a DJ. “Flydol was like a job interview to me, winning the title is equal to winning a job, a job that I have always wanted, that I have always dreamed of,” explained Hansen.

“Winning Flydol doesn't mean you are the king of the world, it is actually the beginning of another phase of being a DJ,” adds Hansen humbly. “I am still learning and undergoing training, well, I would say I am more like an intern, as I am working, learning and doing training at the same time. It is a fruitful training for me as I do learn a lot of new knowledge.”
