Live.On.Air.

Hello again, my attachment here at Pustaka Negeri Sarawak Miri has been more and more interesting as days went by. On 19th April, my supervisor asked to come with her to RTM (Radio Televisyen Malaysia) Radio Station Miri to promote the organization’s Science and Maths Week 2016 that was happening in the same week. At first I thought I was just there to observe what was going on. As we enter and wait for our slot to speak on live air, she asked me if I want to give it a shot. And of course I said yes! God knows when opportunity like these will arise in the future. Speaking on air live was one of my dreams when I was little. When I was on air, I felt a little nervous even though I knew that nobody would see my face (but they do know my name though). I spoke about the schedule of our Science & Maths Week 2016 event, the objectives as well as promoting our upcoming Sarawakiana event at the end of May. What an experience!

The day doesn’t end there. I went back to the library and straight away work on my in-house project at Pustaka Negeri Sarawak Miri. My project is to conduct a questionnaire to find out which platform is better to gain publicity for Science and Maths Week the following year since it is an annual event.



On 25th April,in conjunction with the World Book Day, we held the Let’s Read Together event. It is a nationwide event that is held simultaneously. I was in charge of book distributions for those who forgot to bring a book with them during the event. No one left…bookless.

Later that day, our team together with Pustaka Negeri Sarawak Miri Regional Manager Salina Zawawi went to General Hospital Miri for handing over The Reading Cart plus some books for the children’s ward. Although the children were sick, they managed to smile when we hand them the books from the reading cart. The doctor and nurses in charge gave us a quick tour in the children’s ward and some refreshments were prepared for us. Have I told you that lots of food was also involved during my attachment here?
