Star Search Miri 2009 - Part 2

Dear all…This will be my last entry for my PR 393 blog and today I am going to continue to talk about the experience that I have gained from The Miri Kaying Community Association.

As I have mentioned in the previous entry that I was given an opportunity to handle The Star Search Miri 2009 event at the association. Throughout the internship program at my placement, the most challenging task for me is handling the sponsorship for the event. Once I got the task, together with my committee members, we listed out all the potential sponsors such as the private companies, firms and non government organization with their phone numbers. Part of my responsible job is to contact and made an appointment with them. In this situation I have to provide a win-win situation proposal for the companies. By doing so, Kaying Association managed to collect the budget. On the other hand, the companies that donated for this event are benefit from it.

Besides that, I also have the chance to work together with the design team to design the ticket to sell for the final day dinner, poster and banner. Then, we will spend three days to design the logo and tickets and the like.
Since the competition will going to hold in the month of September, and I have promised to handle in this competition, I will continue to work for this association after I finish my final examination. Moreover, I do enjoy myself while working together with the committee members there and perhaps we could help to work out a grand competition ever in Miri together!

The star search miri 2009

Hi all~
Today I am going to share about the experiences I gain from another placement which I worked for during my internship program - Miri Kaying Association. It is a Hakka-based private association which serves for the welfare of the members. During the internship in this organization, I did involve in their first meeting about what kind of events to be organized throughout the whole year of 2009 and I am glad that I was given a chance to handle an event with the assist of the board of directors and that event was my suggestion to the board of directors as well during the meeting. The event is being named as “Star Search Miri 2009”. It is a talent competition which opens to everyone to participate. After the discussion, the board of director came out with decision that going to make this competition as a charity competition show and yet wanted to make it as grand as possible in order to generate awareness to the public about the existence of Miri Kaying Association. Therefore, I am responsible to produce a proposal for the event together with one of my course mate because both of us are working together in the same placement.

Frankly I am very excited have a great chance to involve in this function and I am looking forward the coming of this exciting event!

The Children Chrismas Party

Dear all hope you guys enjoy yourself during the practical period. ^^ I am now going to continue sharing with you guys about the experiences I have gained from Boulevard Enterprise. As I ever mentioned in my previous blog that I did involve in the Pesta Boulevard event that organized by Boulevard Enterprise. Among the all of the functions in that event, the charity runway Gala show, Children Christmas party and New Year eve countdown concert were the most memorable events to me yet the biggest compare with the other programs which being run during the Pesta Boulevard 2008. In addition to that, I did gain some extra knowledge from my former manager upon how to run an event, how to manage during at ongoing event in spite of controlling the disorder situations especially organizing an occasion which involving the participation of children. Among the three mentioned functions, both children Christmas party and new year eve did involve the participation of children. The Christmas party was organized by the Single Mother Association and they require the function to be held by them. Which means the function is in-charge by them and Boulevard Enterprise just to as like lending the venue to them. Unfortunately, at the very beginning of the children Christmas party night, the scene of the spot can be considered as messy because the children were not all yet register themselves to the person in charged and moreover it started to rain on that night as well. However, at last the event still manage to run smoothly even though the unexpected incidents such as raining, lack of manpower and the unsystematic event planning from the association that happened on the night had delayed the planned time. Alright guys, next entry I will talk about the experiences I gain from the new year eve event I attended during my internship and perhaps some sharing of what I have done in the Kaying Association. =) Good Day.

my intern at Boulevard Enterprise

Hi guys, this is my first entry of my PR393 blog and I am going to share with all of you about my experience in two organizations that I work for my internship... Yes, no doubt... I am working for two organizations which are Boulevard Enterprise and Miri Kaying Association. I get started to work at Boulevard Enterprise since last December 2008 for one month. Actually I am going to continue my internship in February09' because the manager did agree to arrange one of their shopping complex's program for me to handle and at the same time he will help to guide and teach me all along the function. Bet some of you might wondering why only February then letting me involve in their program. This is because in the month of January, the shopping complex had fully filled with the out-source programs due to the Chinese new year season.

However, I still manage to learn something new during my one month practical at Boulevard Enterprise and which able to help me in improving my PR knowledge as well as techniques especially in event management. The colleagues at there were all very friendly yet keen to teach me everything during my internship. Right of my second day working at Boulevard Enterprise, I have got the chance to attend their Head of Department meeting to discuss about their December activity - PESTA BOULEVARD 2008. This is the biggest campaign throughout the whole year of 2008 and it took 17days to run this campaign. There are different kind of entertainment performances in the 17 days which consist of charity model runway gala, both singing performance and competition, cooking demonstration, artist performances, children Christmas party, and countdown concert.

During the one whole month at the company, I have gained of the experiences about how to write press releases in both languages(Chinese and English), they ways to deal with the press during press conferences and some of the knowledge and skills of drafting and working out with the actual budget of the event.

Working at Boulevard Enterprise is really a good experience for me in my future PR field and i really appreciate for everything that the colleagues and manager had taught and helped me in during my internship program! Miss you guys! ^^
