On 23rd January 2018, Stanley Ho East Asia College invited Mr. Gary Ng Ka-Wai, an alumnus of the University of Macau, to share his experiences in hosting and drama. Gary regularly serves as emcees in television programmes in Macau, and his areas of focus also include acting in stage plays and dubbing for video shows.
As an alumnus, Gary gave students a very cordial and warm greeting, and enthusiastically shared a lot about his career experiences. Gary told that since childhood he has had a very strong desire in expressing himself, and liked imitating no matter what it was about. He also described himself: “I am who I am, like fireworks that blossom in unique colours.”
Gary joined the drama club in his high school, and won the prize in an inter-school drama competition, which laid a good foundation for his future performing career. Gary pointed out that actors could experience numerous lives, and, through the scripts and their roles, express some political viewpoints or do something that they normally would not do. Through acting, he could understand the world beyond himself and extend the scope of his world. Gary also bore in mind his teacher’s advice that to learn how to act is to learn how to be a good person. He encouraged the students to work hard to discover and cultivate their interests, rather than easily give them up.
It is hoped that students have learned a lot from Gary’s sharing, and would keep on learning and innovating to nurture their own interests.

我就是我,顏色不一樣的煙火
在2018年1月23日,書院邀請了澳門大學畢業的校友──吳嘉偉(Gary)先生,來跟同學們分享主持及話劇的經驗。Gary是澳門電視節目主持,演藝範疇主要集中在幕前主持、舞台劇演員、錄像演出配音等方面。
作為校友,Gary見到同學們都非常的親切熱情,忍不住分享了許許多多關於他的職業生涯。Gary和同學們講述了他從小表演慾就很強,無論什麼東西都很喜歡去模仿。他更以「我就是我,顏色不一樣的煙火」來形容自己。Gary中學的時候加入了話劇組,並在校際話劇比賽中得到了獎項,為以後的演藝生涯鋪墊了很好的基礎。他覺得演員可以擁有很多生命,做演員可以嘗試過不同的人生,可以通過劇本及角色闡述一些政治觀點和去做一些平時自己不會做的事情。通過演戲他可以知道自己以外的世界,讓自己的世界變得更加廣闊,同時也銘記老師的忠告「學做好戲就是學會怎樣做人」。Gary還勉勵同學們要努力去發掘自己的興趣,培養自己的興趣很重要,不要放棄自己的興趣。
相信同學們聽完Gary的分享後獲益良多,希望同學們也可以像Gary一樣培養自己的興趣並且為之努力,不斷學習不斷創新。
