And now,
the dreadful moment you have all been waiting for.

A time when there is no excuse,
when danger and peril lurks out of every corner.
Where shadows are not just mere shadows,
and you better think twice about those extra set of footsteps you're hearing in the alley.

Yes, it is once again that time of the year.
Brace yourselves for this year's...

HALLOWEEEN PARTY

This year it will be fun and terror on the 12th floor of Subang Square again. The direct floor beneath the floor you've never been before. All excitement starts from 7pm onwards and will last all through the night.

Ticket prices are RM 15 on the day itself.

Don't miss out on this chance for you to experience a memorable and significant night! There will tons of things featured on that night such as a Haunted House, Movies, Games (treasure hunts etc) Food, Live Bands, Good music, Dance floor, Face Painting and so many more!

I suggest you stop contemplating and start figuring out your costume for the night itself!

Support this year's Halloween Party because it will be one that you'll never forget ;)

Hello again everybody!

After taking a rather long absence from this blog, it's time to feed our readers with some updates once more. A big apology for being missing in action!

As you all know from the previous posts, Grapevine was part of the Getting There: Big On Broadcasting talk. Just to refresh some memories, the talk was on the 8th of October at 2 pm in the Purple Box, ADP.

The crowed turned out better than all of us expected and surprisingly, the Purple Box was packed with people. Even those who were not from Mass Communication majors decided to join in and I bet the decision was not regretted.

Anyhow, Idora Khairi who was our speaker for the day turned out to be a very spontaneous and pleasant woman. The talk was very informal and most of the time, she just spoke based on her experience in the broadcasting world.



Most of us were both shocked and enthralled by her experiences from working in the field. As a journalist previously, Idora mentioned that she got to travel to many places abroad.

She did mention that one of the incidents that took the biggest toll on her as a journalist was when she had to go to Acheh after the Tsunami in December of 2004. She painfully recalled her experience in saving a mother and a child that fell victim to the disaster. Unfortunately, she only got to rescue the mother because the little infant died by the time she reached underneath all the rubble.


However, the talk wasn't mainly from Idora herself. The audience got many opportunities to query her about the entire broadcasting world. From job prospects to protocols and codes that had to be adhered when in the business, Idora answered it all. Of course, there were a couple of questions that were totally out of the box, but nonetheless, Idora was a good sport so she tried her level best to provide all the information she could.


The most important lesson learned from that day about the broadcasting world is that nothing is ever what it seems. Being in broadcasting does not only consist of all the glitz and glamor from being in front of the camera. Behind the cameras and the scenes, it's literal madness and chaos. This, Idora can never stress enough. She said, even seconds before, anything can happen and you always have to be on your toes and tackle the situation when it comes. Remember it's 99% stress and 1% fun!

At the end of the day though, it will all be worth it if it is your passion.

Some of the people looking very happy after the talk. Told you it was a good talk! For those of you who did not get the chance to attend this talk, let's just hope there will be a next time alright?

Idora also has been very kind to us by extending a special invitation to anybody who would like to see ESPN Sportscenter Malaysia LIVE! She wants small groups of people only. If any one of you out there is interested in catching this, feel free to email us via our Grapevine email! A first come, first serve basis of course.

Until the next update!
