Curtin Open Day has come to an end.
The only work for me that day is to accompany the VVIPs to tour around the campus. There are many reporters from every newspaper publisher visit the campus that day. When they arrive, we need to give them our media kit, which is a folder with our media release, backgrounder, factsheet and etc. While our reporters are waiting at the lobby, me, Marcella (PR Officer) and other team members are waiting at the main entrance for the arrival of the VVIPs.

After the arrival of the VVIPs, we straight away start the Opening Ceremony of Curtin Open Day. The event is launched by our honourable guest, the formal Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr. George Chan Hong Nam, who is also the chairman of the Curtin Sarawak Campus Council. After the launching, we proceed to the touring of the campus. Throughout the whole touring, the reporters are following us, asking the VVIPs questions and also taking photos non-stop. After that, when everyone finish the tour, our honourable guest held a press conference at the lobby.
I found it quite interesting as no matter the reporters or the political parties, both hold a special connection and relationship among each other. The political party is delivering his opinions and messages, while the reporters are getting information they need to write their news article. In order to maintain a good relationship and mutual understanding in between, they are providing the things that the other side demanded.

| When I am off for two weeks. |
Back to my interns, there are two weeks that I could not work because of my production and projects. When I back to my work, predictably tons of newspapers are waiting for me. Especially when accompanied with our Curtin Open Day, our coverage on newspaper has increased.
Organised such a big event is indeed very tiring. But looking at the impacts on the community and the response from the public, every effort is worth and valued.
Please comment. =)
