Portfolio - May 2013

Highlight Activities in May

As I told before in previous entry, this month was very busy for HAI team member. There are so many events for us to cover at the same time busy preparing inside story for the next magazine issue. Not to forget, our schedule also packed with photoshoot for Raya Bumper edition.

For information, HAI team members are consisting of four people only.  Two senior executive reporters and two junior reporters including myself. But due to one of the senior executive will be taking leave for 2 months by the end of this month; some of her work will be taking over by me. 

I was asked by the editor to do the Close- Up column section. Usually Close-Up is specialty section for the rising star artist in Malaysia. 9th May is my first photoshoot assignment for Close-Up. Bil Azali the new rising star was chosen for this month issue. He was one the participant in the reality programme ‘Pilih Kasih’. It was a challenging task also though since we need to deal with the artist schedule. But thankfully, the date I set up, he was free from work at that time. All the photoshoot were taken at UKSB studio and all pictures taken by my phone.

Other than that, in this month also I was assigned to interview the international artist, Jo In-Sung from Korea. This press conference event took place at Hilton Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on 21st May 2013 at 3.00pm. So far, I think this is my biggest event assignment that I had to cover. Moreover, never thought that this event will be the next cover story for HAI magazine, June issue. So, this was a very big responsibility for me that my editor trusts me to do this task.

As usual before interview, I already prepared of what question to asked him in the press conference except the personal question. I already wrote article about him three times already. He is sure now the famous and popular actor in Korea and Asia, when his latest drama That Winter, The Wind Blows becomes a big hit in Asia including Brunei. Therefore, it was a very meaningful to me having this opportunity and at the same time got a chances to meet him personally and closer. 

Jo In-Sung embarked on his publicity tour to Southeast Asia in promotion of this popular Korean drama series on ONE HD (Astro). Following his scheduled, Jo In-Sung first meet with us members of local media before he gracing meet and greet event with fans at Paradigm Mall.
