Im on NEWS!!!~ Yep Chinese news...lolx...first time of my life...appearing on TV and seeing the interview being carried out...also acting as 'backdrop' of the interview...lolx..it was loads of fun...also nervous and stress during the actual presentation....
We have this project of Electronic Maketing(EM) on evaluating xin.sg and Omy.sg of MediaCorp and SPH respectively...this project is done by 2 classes, 4 groups in total..around 10 members each...however only 2 groups are chosen for the presentation to MediaCorp and only around 4 members of each group can present to MediaCorp....so im considered lucky....but really stressful...sleepless nights...sleep late to rush report and powerpoint...we took around 4 weeks to finish researching, editing, and editing and preparing powerpoint and rehearsing and finalising everything till the very last minute....our teachers also had a hard time editing our super lousy English hahahas...anyways...and so...on Monday...we skipped lessons...of cos got LOA...and spent hours rehearsing and editing our ppt and report....our research is basically to compare xin.sg and Omy.sg based on 6Cs, which is capture, content, commerce, credibility, customer orientation and community...these are factors to evaluate either websites or companies..which is what we learn in EM module...also using Internet Value Proposition to compare the 2 websites....
On Monday...2 students were interviewed for Chinese news and 1 student is interviewed for English version...my personal tutor(PT), Mr Ji PengXiang were also interviewed for Chinese news and my EM teacher, Mr Clarence Ng were interviewed for English version...the rest of us were 'backdrops' for the interviews....basically acting like we were discussing our projects...the funniest part was...we were staring at our blank laptops and pointing to the blank screen...but later another video taking was really scanning through xin.sg website...of cos..we were told to do that...hahahas...during the presentation...I was the second group...was really super nervous...but the MediaCorp ppl were not as scary as we thought...our teachers were really impressed by our presentation and our detailed report...really worth the hardwork...the MediaCorp ppl were also very impressed by our research...because we were considered their target audience for the websites...young adults and youths....so they want us to give our suggestions or opinions on the websites so that they can improve on it...which we feel very honored...they even invite us to do site visits at MediaCorp or even have our attachement there....we were of cos happy...=)
However...of all these good news...there is also bad news...we were told that we were exempted from assignment two...but sadly...because MediaCorp and the top management were too impressed by our presentation...we were asked again to do the assignment two...and might have to go down to MediaCorp to present...=_=...so stressed....but then...really good experience and exposure...but then again...really have too much projects to do....though this assignment is not as rush as the 1st one...hopefully...Anyways...my friends dint have time to take photos of us presenting...so....ya...sadly...but xin.sg have updated their news (finally) and have a news and also video that was up on Channel 8 and Channel U news yesterday...
