Mediacorp Day 1

Monday- i was too tired after 1 whole day of slacking in the office, nearly fall dead when i got home. basically we came prepared. bud the boss did not prepare much work for us. 2 guys were sent to follow one of the reporters out to do some interview or stuffs. Envious of them. While the other 2 girls including me of cos just slack at the office doing nothing. Realli nothing but can see some news broadcaster haha. so bored that i finish reading up the stack of newspaper a kind guy hab lend us to read.

Followed on.. we went to see some morning news with a dao bo(the one who gib instructions for the 630 news) of the day. Had lunch and went back to slack again. Practically doing nothing haha. Den Linda one of the dao bo brought us around and explained every single detail to us wor! haha realli very detailed. almost info overload. But she's super nice hahah. Anyway we went to the Graphics room, Channel 8 Newsroom scene. mingle around with the com haha. The editing room..


The Video Editing Room


The fun nice aircon on at full blast office
The boss saw me sitting at the table like a dummy and was like asking me "Why u sitting alone here? u can just find anyone of them, dun be shy. just stick around with them, die die also stick to them!" =.= hahahaha. den in the end i followed this funny reporter - Tse Siang. Den by the time it was already nearly 6pm. den he still haven cut clips or stuff which is needed in the 630pm news.

He brought me into the VO room (which he is not supposed to i think cos the other 3 did not have the chance to go in lols)and hear him record his voice again and again. I think he is feeling stressed with me standing around looking at him record his voice. Den we went back to the office. used the Library search to find past years videos for local sports. Den we went back to the room where we cut the videos and stuff. and we were like rushing for the 630 news like siao and we began to panic. We couldn't find the tape we wan and stuff. den he gib me some jobs which makes my day quite entertaining like asking me to search for other videos and den bring it to him to edit. and Den we only complete the whole video editing by 6.45pm LOL.

Before he ran off to the studio. I asked him "I follow u and run ah?".. Den he say "U hold this for me.. u no need run.. i run can le.. u walk.." Den off he go. realli macham lightning can. I thought i already walk super fast already. the ppl there hor - their definition of walking fast is macham jogging or running. so i tried my best to follow him leh. follow half way i dunno where he go liao =.= Den i also scare lost my way. so i go office wait for him.

conclusion: the school have succeeded in making me READ and WATCH the news for the past few days.


Mediacorp Day 2

Got to know our job only on the previous day. we were assign to go with this reporter, Song Jing to a press conference at People's Association OBox Studio. When i got in there, the security guard asked for my I/C i was like "Omg!! my ezlink is at the mediacorp reception! and i have no I/C". Started to get a little scare, bud after that there is nothing one lah. Was kinda surprised that the press conference i went wasn't really that serious. The setting look more like i went to a disco.


My first media pass!! haha


MCS Crew at work - interviewing MPs
At first i though this press conference would be rather boring cos its about P65 MPs doing a Hip Hop performance during Chingay 2007 and i thought the atmosphere would be serious too. Surprisingly it was rather relaxing hearing them chat and their hip hop performance was rather hillarious (very cmi)- U will know if u watch the 630 news on Tuesday. When we brought the video back to the office for viewing, many people kept luffing and commenting on it hahahahah. The people there at the press conference are super friendly also. almost Every 5 mins or got ppl ask me wanna eat the buffet thing they prepared. :)) and there are some ppl dressed up in anime costumes bud i have no idea why they are there for.

Get the chance to hold the channel news asia microphone while Song Jing interviewed the MPs. hold until my hand got so numb. There is another dummy the chU n ch8 which is just for show haha. Went back and slack again. get to interact with this nice pretty reporter called shuang xi. very friendly ehs :D den during my free time, just nice shuang xi and zhi hao both need ppl help. den Shuang xi was looking for someone with gd han yu ping ying, while zhi hao is looking for someone who can help him get stuff from reception. Den shuang xi was like asking "Who's han yu pin ying better?" I dunno how to ans, i think i'm alright with it wor. Den we all say "the both of us are good =X" den shuang xi anyhow pick and answered "Ok, i choose u, lol u can run rite, so u help zhi hao collect his stuff" =X. Hahahahah. so basically i go and collect lor, den zhi hao lend me his pass leh! so cool lah haha. if not i cannot enter the stupid News Building. Den i took his pass den can scan here scan there damn fun LOL. even those place that i can't go in using the visitor pass 1 also can go with his pass. Bud his pic in the pass like very long time ago 1. so funny.


Behold of my mighty hands
Den there's one whole stack of i weekly and 8 days on the table. Everybody keep taking, was kinda paiseh to take. I just took and read liao put back. The boss also came back with one box of Taiwan mooncake. very special eh Hahahah the favour is XO Scallop and Abalone. But heard that it taste quite badly. lol have Muachi Wife's Biscuit to it too. but paiseh to eat lah.

After the usual 6.30pm news. the boss assign us jobs again. Actually she wanted both of us to each follow a Broadcaster around to see their job the next day. Den after a while she came back and ask if we do like Stefanie Sun. den we were like "Er.. okay lah. dun see also can de".. Den she went to ask the guys, the guys also showed no interest in her. So she told us that there were be a Fm 93.3 Press conference regarding the October award thing in SG, and there will be a 1-1 interview with stefanie sun(Wow, Cool man!), den she asked the 2 of us (girls)to decide who to follow Lynne, the broadcaster and who to go and see stefanie sun. settled it with drawing lots with some mac coupons hahah. In the end i went to see stefanie sun! :D bud somehow i still wish to follow the broadcaster too. wad a dilemma.
