Mediacorp. That is probably the ultimate goal of MCM students.
thank my lucky stars that Mark called me up to go to Mediacorp to interview
Les Ferdinand - ex Newcastle and Spurs player
Lee Sharpe - Ex united player.

no guesses that i was jumping up and down cos i finally had the chance to meet football stars face to face.
I arrived at 4pm, with mark and daniel waiting at the lobby for me.
There were other journalists as well. there were 8 of us. One of em was from the Star.
anyways, we headed down to the studio where the stars were recording a gameshow
due to launch in Feb/March.

Another surprise for me as Andy Penders, ESPN StarSports TV Presenter
arrived on the scene as the host of the gameshow.
Andy spoke to us more about the game show: how it's played, who r the teams etc etc....
then we had a phototaking session with the hosts and the stars.
Then it was individual interviews.

U dont meet football stars everyday. and daymn was I nervous when I went up to Sir Les.
But Sir Les was indeed a gentleman and very friendly.
Answered all my questions perfectly and I took a picture with him as well.
*plans to have it layered :P*
then me and Daniel went to ask Andy Penders a few questions on his team Southampton.

I told him that Football Crazy was a good and entertaining show.
Andy thanked me then Daniel asked to be on the show~
Andy asked for our name-cards and ho ho, one day i might appear on national tv.
MAN TO APPEAR FOOTBALL CRAZY AHHAHA....
My father would have to watch it!

The only boo boo was that I swopped cameras unknowingly with that journalist from the STAR.
Cos he and his camera are the same model! Canon Powershot A80.
jus emailed them to swop back the cameras so have to wait for a call from them ><

Mediacorp was nice to give us a goodie bag.
Contains a ESPN StarSports media kit, a pen, a football squashie and some other stuff.
but all in all, good experience for me.
hope to meet more stars in the future!
