He would share it with the world, and make known to everyone interested that it only takes practice and dedication to become good at something one is passionate about.

An event which is held annually, every fourth day of the Chinese lunar calendar, marked a significant day for the Chia Clansmen Association in Crab Island (Pulau Ketam). 11 February 2016 was the day that students ranging from primary, secondary to tertiary had been looking forward to attending; the Scholarship Awards Ceremony. At the event, I was one of the five scholarship recipients who went on stage to receive RM 1,000 as a token of encouragement for our excellent study achievement (YAY…. J ). Not forgetting, I also participated as the English emcee along with my partner, who ran her duty as the Mandarin emcee. Standing on the stage presenting our emcee speech to a large crowd which had the event hall packed full gave me a sense of pride to be able to contribute to the association; while having my parents to witness my success at the event made me feel proud and grateful to be one of them. All my life, when my parents passed me the application form for the scholarship award...

After all, as the saying goes, “Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.” So here I am, introducing myself as one of the interns for Orchan early in the year of 2016 – 22-year-old lady, eldest in the family, born in Klang. Being a Public Relations student, I only came to a realisation of how the real PR industry looks like when I started my internship a week ago.
