Experiences as a Journalist.

One of the Few Harbors Which I Stopped By.

Trained as a journalist, I always dream to write for the well known newspaper and magazine.
Looking at my 'byline' in the lead stories triggers a different yet exciting feelings.
Something that I want to achieve.
Something that I have to earn with my own sweat.
Dream to be the first journalist from a small village in Gombak, which is just next to the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM).
I worked hard for it. Give the best and the worst out of it.
Being a lady, it is not easy to convince my parents and family members about the odd working hours.
Knowing the everyday 'deadlines' of stories for the newspapers, it was a hectic life which I enjoyed very much.
Went for my six months practical in various desks at Berita Harian Sdn Bhd and got an 'A' for my practical.
Then, I continued working in the same newsroom for about a year as a journalist.
It was exciting as I experience learning with the best journalists around.
Meeting lot more interesting individuals and characters.
Seeing lot of business opportunities and products by companies through the Press Releases sent to the newsroom.
Translating, transcribing and typing speeches and releases.
Phone calling, confirming facts, following and investigating facts.
Interviewing, rearranging and constructing the sentences accordingly before sending it to the Boss for editing.
Really...it was fun and full of excitement.

Until one day...
I went to an assignment.
Interviewed few ladies and the owner of the company.
That moment was a turning point for me...want to know more?

Wait for my next post...TQ
