First Day of Internship The Star (16/12/19) 

The semester break is still ongoing but for Katelyn is her first day of internship at The Star- The People's paper under its Corporate Communication department. It's been a dream of mine to work at The Star since I was a young girl and now I'm here to work as an intern.

After my daddy drops me off, I head to the HR office to sign myself as an intern officially. After that, my mentor, Ms. Julianne, leads me to the seventh floor, where the Corporate Communication department is located. I'm welcomed by the senior manager, Ms. Siti Hajar, with open arms and introduced to my fellow colleagues. 

While waiting for my computer to set up, Ms. Julianne gives me a brief overview on how the department works as a whole, and I'm already given my first task of the day- study The Star's annual report, kind of reminded me in Investor Relations class. Ms. Julianne also shows me some of the cover samples which are going to be used as this year's annual report cover. 

My fellow colleague, Lutfil, introduces me his job scope, mainly on the educational magazine- Kuntum, which is also I grew up with to brush up my Bahasa Malaysia back then. I ask is there anything I can help but no task is given yet except reading the content of the annual report. During lunchtime, I get to know about writing a CEO's "Thank You letter", which reminded me of writing the foreword for the booklet of Sunway University Buddhist Society- SBS' past two musical dramas. 

We head down to Star Bytes for lunch but the food are sold out when we got there. Ms. Siti tells me that the first day of internship is kind of slow but slowly the work will build up soon. The rest of the day is not much just chilling in the office whole day. I guess is to get myself familiar with the surroundings since it's the first day of internship.

Whichever task I'm given throughout my three months of internship, I'll give my best and hopefully landing a full-time career after completing university next year. 

A star struck journey is about to begin.

2016年Astro新秀大赛: 参赛攻列音乐分享会(6/7/16)

  Astro 《新秀大赛》2016 参赛功略音乐分享会在KLCC Level 3 Plenary Theatre举行。本节目是为了寻找第二十届新秀冠军。爱歌唱的我当然不会错过这天大的机会!早上十一时,我乘德士到吉隆坡双峰塔。当地举行第十一届海内外书展。大约早上十一时我们抵达现场,外婆发现场外有很多身白青衣的学生说:“这么怎么会那么多学生?” 我说我不知道。我从小楼梯走下,再走向电梯乘上三楼。

  到了三楼,我看到Astro星势力的主办单位在忙着派入门券,我前几个星期已经在应用程式报名所以直接告诉我的名字就可以了。本来我想拿纸出来给他们看,但他们却说:“小姐,说您的名字就行了!” 我说我的名字,在名单的的第三十一位。写好名字后,一位姐姐就把入门券的边缘撕掉再把它们交给我。“好谢谢你们!” 姐姐就告诉我们:“不能拿水和饮料及食物进现场。” 我只好把水瓶交给妈妈。

  不久在场外,诗凌姐、淞凤姐以及慧萍姐的粉丝在排长龙。外婆向主办单位说我的行动不便,是否能够让我进场先再来找一个好位子。我听到外婆说:“最重要她是要看偶像。” 姐姐们不禁笑了起来,外婆还说:“有几个新秀在新年的时候和她见过面。去年,就让她到后台和她拍照。” Grace姐说:“原来如此!” 下午一时正,门打开,主办单位让我和外婆进场。“真的要麻烦你们,很抱歉!” 我说。姐姐们说:“没关系!” 我是本来坐在左手边,然后其中一位说:“不如你来坐右手边吧!” 她牵我的到右手边的座位。

  台上我看到一个熟悉的身影,应该是健华哥哥吧!后台很暗,他看不到我。等所有的观众入席后,场内开始暗下来就开始播放新秀们的作品、比赛画面和成就。洁钰姐和慧茵姐出场向大家问好。“相信在场的朋友有看《新秀大赛》或此节目陪着他们长大。” 这一句让我想起在我中三的时候,三舅拨电话来说现在在播放《新秀大赛》。当时的节目,年龄八至十三岁的学生和参赛们PK。我心里有一个念头就是参加《新秀大赛》!


  慧茵姐提着手上的环保代问:“谁今年即将参加今届的新秀?” 我二话不说马上举手,她走来我的座位,“你叫什么名字?” 她用广东话和我交流,而我用广东话说:“陈袈文。” 问我是不是很喜欢看新秀,我说是。慧茵问我:“你最喜欢的新秀冠军是谁?” 我说:“Nicole赖淞凤!” 淞凤姐的粉丝们尖叫。第一批的新秀—— Ron彭世豪、Jordan盛天俊、Amy文小菲及Elaine李宜玲等人为大家献上新秀的主题曲——《宇宙最强》。接着,新秀们一个个出来献唱他们的歌。后来,网路红人—— Danny许佳麟为大家唱一首《有多久》—— 它是今年的双亲节主题曲。

  Danny、Geraldine和Nicole示范甄选网络试音。最后全体新秀在台上送上《BFF》这首歌。《BFF》是我踏入青少年的第一首新秀的歌。他们走下台和观众朋友互动。宜玲姐他们走到我的座位时,我马上给她一个大拥抱。Jordan哥和Ron哥也是一样给大拥抱,Jordan哥说:“袈文,好久不见!” 宜玲姐要走回舞台时,我再给一个紧紧的拥抱。分享会结束后,新秀们纷纷回到后台,我想见他们一面但是希望落空。期中一位主办单位说:“你不能看他们全部,你只能选两位新秀。” 

  两位新秀而已?“Elaine姐和Ron哥,再多一个Nicole姐。” 他们三人走出来时,Ron哥第一个说:“嗨,袈文!好久不见,你还好吗?从新年到现在。” 他给我一个温暖的拥抱。“很好啊!” 我说。外婆对他们说:“袈文很想念你们!” 我唱一小段得《约定》给Elaine姐听还有《我值得快乐》给Nicole;再加上《BFF》。“哇,袈文,看来你有很多歌可以选在试音哦!” Ron哥说。和他们自拍后,我们离开现场。书展的主办单位说:“你的歌声很好听!” 我腼腆一笑。我向所有的星势力说一声“谢谢” 。

  我很感谢我的外婆再次带我看新秀。
