Of papers, a book and the goggle box

My Media Portfolio:
Besides the magazine interview with 8-Days and a couple of newspaper interviews with The Straits Times and The New Paper, I also did a studio interview with 'Good Morning, Singapore'; speaking Mandarin on national TV was truly an experience for me, since, I have always been more conversant in English.

Apart from the interviews I had done with the Media, I have also had my write-up featured in a coffee-table tome- Celebrating Libraries by the National Library Board.

I guess my foray into the Media, can be summed up in the following points.
Firstly, I am my university's student ambassador, hence, time and again I have been chosen by them to be featured in the Media. Secondly, it is a public relations excercise by the university to feature deserving students, so as to promote the university. Thirdly, my expressing myself through writing has brought me places- writer for "YouthInk"; the Straits Times and the Celebrating Libraries tome.

More importantly, through interactions with the Media, I have learnt the art of composing my thoughts and expressing myself in as crisp a manner as possible. And hopefully what I say can inspire people; especially students, to make the most of their life and achieve to the best of their abilities.

My take:
I guess with great exposure comes great responsibility. Enjoying visibility through the Media has made me adopt a higher sense of self-monitoring (Psychological term) which, essentially means that I am now more aware of my surroundings and that my deeds and words will be more closely watched, perhaps?

Truth be told, I am still the same ol' me.

Editor's Note: If anyone thinks I am well-spoken (Karen of TNP does), I'd rightly tell them that I express myself better in writing.
