Despite a record 60 students competing in an annual talent contest, a gifted fifth-former managed to claim first prize for the second year.
Peter Chan Kwun-cheong's outstanding performance once again stole the limelight at La Salle College's annual Talent Quest.
Kwun-cheong, 16, said: 'Honestly, I wasn't at all confident about winning the championship again because all the competitors here can go head-to-head and their performances were really good.' Kwun-cheong and two other budding singers made it through to the final session. They were made to sing without any back-up music to test their sense of rhythm.
Their stage presence, as well as their standard of singing, was taken into account.
'My favourite singer is Jacky Cheung Hok-yau and I like his songs very much. I've just taken up singing for a short period of time, so there's a long way for me to go to reach his standard,' Kwun-cheong said.
Despite his success in the past two years, he said the awards would not push him towards a singing career.
Singing was a good hobby and helped him express himself in public, he said.
