From Mel's Desk: June 2013

When I was little, my ambition was to be a journalist and broadcaster. Reading the newspaper out loud infront of my parents (and mirror of course) pretending to be a newscater was my hobby back then ;) With the strong determination in pursuing my childhood dream and all the courage from the loved ones I participated in a bradcasting audition with Channel 9 (now TV9) for 'Pengacara Popular Channel 9' back in year 2004. I passed all interviews and auditions. It wasn't an easy audition. Every candidates must at least have an excellent knowledge about current affairs and we were given the tasks to complete including interviewing 'real subject' for a report to be presented to the judges. I remember that I chose the topic 'Kemelut Politik di Kelantan' and created my own 'talk show' called GINCU MERAH during the finale. From thousands of applicants, I have short-listed to top 9 and finally the top 4. Well, not a bad achievement as I never had any journalism experience compared to the top 3. I heard they're now involving in broadcasting industry actively. Good for them. Though I'm not a TV personality now (due to other commitments) I'm living my childhood dream by taking an emcee jobs. For wedding for a start. It has been several times now. Its definitely a fun experience! I'm looking forward to a formal or corporate event next. I can be contacted at mel_aziz@hotmail.com should you need the emcee service. :-)
