What? No comments? No one has an opinion about anything? C'mon, I am sure you have something to say about something?! Do give it a shot.
Meanwhile, here are two pix of me frightening the students during my recent lecture on journalism at the Kampar campus. I was told I scared them off journalism with my stories on meeting deadlines and all the challenges journalists face and how that messes up their personal lives!
Relax. These are the occupational hazards of the job! Journalists who have been in their profession for long love what they do despite the negatives. They love the adrenaline rush, the heady excitement of being right in the centre of news-making action, access to privy information and the satisfaction of getting to the root of the matter.
If you like a fast-paced, action-packed life and are not afraid of talking to people and getting information from them, you will fit in just nicely. The point is you must know what is expected of you and have the confidence that you can deliver. Then, you are cut out for the job! After some time, you will also be able to find some time and space to enjoy your personal life.
So, to all the budding journalists out there, good luck!

The top picture shows a class rep presenting me with a gift. That was a very thoughtful gesture which I appreciated a lot!
