2007 :: life as an intern

2007 started with bang bang bang!!! too many bangs lah..

it's not exactly very exciting but still i was kept really busy.. i act went to a countdown at vivocity and was down at the mosh pit (is that how u spell it?).. it did not feel as high as i expect it to be.. prob cos u need tics to enter and all.. but the performances were not too bad.. got JJ Lin enough liao.. plus i was really surprised to see the Superstars there and managed to say hi to diya and witnessed her stumble on stage (oh no.. am i spoiling her image here?).. that was like the 2nd time i ever went for a countdown.. first time was millenium party at orchard which was disastrously crowded and i was out till like 5am.. this time we siam even b4 1230am to beat the crowd... haha..

anyway new year's day came and passed and i've started my intern life.. there are really a lot of interns from sci at mediacorp so everyday's lunch is like a mini gathering of sci students at the canteen.. haha.. but i think i shall not just stick to the sci ppl and mingle more with the other colleagues la.. must get out of my comfort zone..

i haf been feeling really tired after work everyday.. tho i confess the workload is really minimal.. i think it's the adrenaline rush in getting the news out that tires me out.. even tho that only happens once a day for me for now.. and ppl really get short-tempered when the time comes for news broadcast and have to rush stuff out.. i believe i will too.. so that's sth i have to get used to..

so things i've done these 3 days... watch tapes and tapes of taiwanese, hong kong and china news and edited snippets and write their leads for broadcast.. learnt how to man the hotline and have to start manning it next week..

news is truly a dynamic environment and the pace they work in is fast fast fast.. the ppl ard me are always either furiously typing away, making calls to check this and that or doing a telephone interview or voice-over.. whereas i'll juz be making myself relevant in the office.. haha.. i guess my days will just get busier! will be out to do reporting next week.. sounds really exciting!
