Had a rather happening week. On Tuesday, i went to Mediacorp for a mock TV interview. I was recommended by a Prof to this assignment and it was an eye opener for me!

The situation was like that. Ms Lin, a presenter at Channel News Asia used to work in the press. She just joined Channel News Asia and was tasked to do an interview session with the IMF officials. Then she need someone to practise on and thus explain my presence.

We had a lifestyle kind of interview, done in the Primetime Morning studio set, with all the cameras and lighting! We chatted on the topic on youths' views on money and happiness and it lasted 10 mins. Am i glad it was over because i felt nervous man! But i also felt as if i was like some VIP as well. ahha

Anyway, i saw Suzanne Jung and Timothy Go there as well. Yup, they looked actually the same as they are on TV. Suzanne Jung's skin is flawless, and she's hot! Of course, Tim looks good as well. Did have a chance to talk to them though. I also had a tour of the Channel News Asia department, had a peep on the editing process, the reporter desk and the different studio set.

Being a student for 23 years and more exposed to the finance line, the media industry is totally new to me and i can't ask for more for this once in a lifetime experience
