Just like how all the gathering begins...
Firstly you walk into the hall, you get the program list, you settle down bla bla bla.
And then someone giving speech, ice-breaking session since you will need to know your seniors...
Game session of course, to tighten bond (in their translation called united), kepit the paper with your hips together with all your groups members and go 3 rounds without the falling of the paper, blow the gathering hot hot by whole group biting a banana ( I guess they want to spread out the H1N1 disease)...yucky!
OK, I admit, it was fun...except the banana part.
And then here it's come, the sharing and Q&A session!
Seniors who came back from their internship shared their working experiences with us about how they deal with their work, what they saw and learn during the internship, their most funny or memorable experience, the challenge and dangerous they met and how they tackle it...
It was very interesting when we told by a senior who's work for BERNAMA in Penang that she almost get sued by a news she had covered. A politician has said some rude word to his competitor during an election. My senior get to wrote down and report what he had said.
The next day when the news is out, the politician denied the accusation and want to sue my senior and BERNAMA for report "untruth" news. Luckily my senior has recorded his speech and BERNAMA tak tahan and finally sent the video clip to the HQ of TV3 and tayang it out. And finally the case baru settled.
This has taught us that, whenever you do or report something, you must always have and keep the prove. It may save you in the future.
When she was telling all these, i was like thinking: Wow, this is cool! it's great to have 'almost get sue' experience once in a life time! (ya i know i shouldn't think like this but sorry, i couldn't help it~ =p)
The gathering then continued with tea break, and then continue with sharing session again and it's end with the photo shoot session.
It was a wonderful gathering indeed. Although it is not perfect, still it left a great impact and an understanding for me in this industry.
And now I have passion to move on~
GO GO GO!!!
