LOL at SEGi University College (BLOG2)

LOL (Live Out Loud) Uni Talk

Live Out Loud is all about to helping student to determine their potential by summiting their resume for an internship or career opportunities. LOL (Live Out Loud) also provide opportunities to go behind the scene with the Hot FM, Fly FM and One FM radio announcers on a studio visit and see how they heat up the airwaves. They also have assignments whereby, need the students to get A+ on the assignment by getting up close and personal with Hot FM team. Next, can able to plaster the website’s bulletin board with any upcoming e vents happening in the school.  Need to send in a request to get hands on the exclusive merchandise for the student’s events. Then can also send in entries for them to crash our campus for a perceptive Uni Talk. Finally, they are also having a special contest to take part in to win awesome prices.

All of this is partially what had been provided and brought by LOL to reach student’s attention. Before the event took place in Segi University College, tertiary students were encouraged to submit entries through Fly FM’s LOL (Live Out Loud) portal convincing Fly FM to crash their campus for this insightful Uni Talk, and based on submissions, SEGi University College was chosen to be one of the stops for this inspiring session.
At Segi University College Kota Damansara, on July 7th 2011, Thursday around 12:40pm the campus was exposed with LOL (Live Out Live) pamphlets and advertisements on walls of each floor and there were banners put up at the staircases and also the members and as well as the helper of LOL (Live Out Live) can be seen walking around the campus in their black customized designed t-shirt. It was all about living our loud at Segi on the day. This event was presented by Fly FM as part of Media Prima Radio Network (MPRN)’s CSR program, Live Out Loud (LOL) brought a truly engaging and inspiring Uni Talk to the students of SEGi. The LOL (Live Out Live) Uni Talk event, was held at Auditorium A of its official venue, SEGi University College, Kota Damansara. Students of SEGi University College started arriving at 1pm, with excitement to meet the Celebrity Guests of Honours or easily to be known as the VIP’s.
     The registration began at 1.30pm, at outside of the Auditorium A and the hallway of 2nd floor, heading towards the Auditorium A was packed with students as they began to get in line to get themselves registered. Few decorated table’s were set over there, piles of black goody bags were neatly arranged beside the registration table and the LOL (Live Out Live) also were welcoming us with smiles and directing the way. During the registration, students were given with a door gift-ish goody bag, which had pamphlets of the LOL (Live Out Live) event, Starbucks coupons, Fly FM car sticker, Faces magazine and some refreshments such as crackers, Memory vitamins. A lucky draw number were also provided to the students at the registration counters. Whereby, my number was number 8.
After getting the goody bags,  students were also requested to ‘Like’ the Official LOL (Live Out Live) page on Facebook, the helper/member of LOL (Live Out Live) also had provided laptop and Iphone of thiers for us to ‘Life’ the page. And for those who had liked it, were given a LOL (Live Out Live) badge. We went in and sat in the Auditorium A after settling the registration. As we were in there, the helpers/members of LOL (Live Out Live) were arranging the stage and songs was going on while waiting to start the event. The LOL (Live Out Live) event was officially launched at 2.45pm, by the Fly FM Announcer, Zher who was the emcee for the event, keeping the sessions lively and engaging.
The Auditorium A was packed with students from various courses such as Mass Communication, American Degree Programme (ADP), Nursing , ect. As the students were getting in with anxiousness, they had projected LOL (Live Out Live) launching video about 5-7 minutes. Then when, everyone begin to settled down with excitement on their face as it was time to meet the celebrity living in the limelight, Nazrudin Rahman (TV Host, Actor & Producer) and Jacklyn Victor ( Malaysia’s Pop Diva, Promising Actress). The celebrities had a photo session together with the student as a group pictures as they enter the Auditorium A.
As both the young stars were being interviewed by Fly FM’s announcer, Zher, students began to pay close attention on what the icon’s had to say about their ups and down in life in return to reach the spotlight of their lives, about their life backgrounds, how they had achieved to be what they are now, the stars illustrated the life of being a celebrity in Malaysia and what actually got their foot into this industry and it was so much more that is motivating for students. I still remember the knowledge that Jacklyn Victor had shared with us, whereby she when through rough times taking critics that are bad which nearly made her to break down. She had listen to her mother’s advice which her mother told to her that “take all the good comments happily and take all the bad comments as good where by doing that can able to learn to correct the bad comments as a better one in future”, personally it is motivating for me.
The interview session was over by 3.15pm, and the floor was open to the Q&A (questions and answers) session for Nazurudin Rahman and Jacklyn Victor. Students pointed out various questions to the celebrities. After that, as a token of appreciation a LOL (Live Out Live) award was given to them. Then,  Jacklyn Victor and Nazurudin Rahman left from the Auditorium A as their next schedule calls in their busy life.

Just after the Living In The Limelight session was over, the World of Radio took place. In this session, Hunny Madu (Fly FM announcer, Singer, Actress), Prem Shanker (Fly FM announcer, TV Host), Fara Aida Dahlan (Haed Brand Communication, Media Prima Radio Network), Vikneswaran Kajindran (Assistant Manager-Sales, Media Prima Radio Network) were the highlights. During the showdown, Hunny Madu spoke about her career as a Fly FM announcer and an upcoming singer, as she released her debut single ‘Miss Strong’, that was picked to be the theme song for Gempak Astro tour around Malaysia. Hunny Madu is also a host and a breakthrough entertainer, songwriter. In course of almost 3 years in the industry, Hunny was the pioneer host for ‘8TV Nite Live’. She also had mentioned had she got married and it was a surprise for me.
As on Prem Shanker, he started off in the radio industry as part of the on-ground team while pursuing his studies in Mass  Communications and was soon offered a job as a Fly FM’s radio announcer in 2007. Prem also stepped into the limelight as host of 8TV Quickie and the station’s own game show called Whack It! Season 1 and 2 in 2009. Aside from a full time career, Prem dedicates time for his passion as a ‘club DJ’ and has already stepped in the scene by becoming emcee/hypeman and has started deejaying in clubs around KL. Prem’s also shared his lifestyle and told about his career life.  
The group then moved on to Fara Aida and Vikneswaran as they are the Head Brand Communication and Assistant Manager-Sales for Media Prima Radio Network. Both of them had shared their experiences working in the Media Prima Radio Network. Certain details that they told regarding their work as new information for me, because I never had knew about the position they that holding and the work they are doing which is really important to managing a media. Overall, in this session the panel discussed the little known facts of what goes on behind the scenes of a radio station. At 4.00pm the Auditorium was open to the students for the Q&A (question and answers) session for Hunny Madu, Prem, Fara Aida and Vickneswaran. But mostly, they question were asked to Hunny Madu and Prem, there were not much of question to Fara Aida and Vickneswaran.  
At 4.15pm, the crowed begin to shout in excitement and the showdown kicked off with Inspiring Stories from an Icon, Harith Iskandar, a Stand-Up Comedian and Entrepreneur. Harith is generally acknowledged as Malaysia’s premier stand-up comedian. For more than a decade, he has performed ‘live’ at countless events and entertained thousands of Malaysians and foreigners with his unique and original material. Harith’s comedy performance is in great demand and any company function is never complete without Harith inevitably bringing the house down with his side-splitting performances. With huge success in Malaysia, Harith has been invited to perform in many parts of Asia, from Thailand to Hong Kong and even in Dubai. Apart from being the country’s No 1 comedian, Harith is also an accomplisher, award winning film director, actor and writer, as he shares about him. In his own words, his main love will always be making people laugh with his stand-up performances.
As Harith started his spontaneous comedy, the Auditorium was filled with loud laughter and echoing claps. Some teared due the hard core laughs they had. As I can remember what liked about Harith is that, he told a statement about why there is ‘others’ in the race category list in forms?, as he was sharing his memorize of his childhood and also he stated that if possible he want to remove the ‘other’ choosing column and this statement had made me to respect him a lot. He also had shared his steps to success as who is he now, Harith stated something like this, eventhough had a good job, but I was not happy with it even can be very success in it, so I had choose my own desired job which I’m loving it now and happy and also success with it now with his doctor wife. This is also a motivating word for all of us, to choose a job that we can be happy in it and work with our passion.
Harith wrapped up the finale with Q&A (question and answer), as he answered interesting questions from his fellow fans and the students were kept at the edge of their seats, with non-stop laughter for his replies for the questions. End of the session with Harith I had stomach pain due to laughing at his interesting jokes, such as CSI Malaysian version jokes, and Facebook (poke) jokes, translating modern songs and comparing it to old version songs and as so on more. Throughout the session with all the different speakers, the students were given insightful tales of how to make a breakthrough into the industry, and how it is also very important for aspiring entertainers to always “be themselves”. The students were encouraged to believe and be passionate towards their talents, and to never be fearful when chasing their dreams.
The finale of the event ended with the Lucky Draw, sponsored by Full House, Faces Magazines, Elianto, Starbucks, Corntos, Mister Potato, Flavettes, Dirty Nelly’s, John Balliann, Quiksilver. Students won prizes like Incubus concert tickets, Universal Music CD Pack, Quiksilver Merchandise, Elianto Gift Set, Fullhouse Dining vouchers, Dirty Nelly's food voucher, John Galliano Perfume sets, Panasonic Lumix Compact Camera worth RM1899. Students were given lucky draws according to their registration number, prizes was given away by the Head of Fly FM. All celebrities attended were given token of Appreciation by SEGi University College Chairman, Dato’ Professor Dr Jamaludin Mohaiadin. Unfortunately, I didn’t won any of the lucky draw but was cheering for others who were lucky.
In line with SEGi University College’s vision of providing more than just the usual lifestyle to its students, the vibrant Live Out Loud Uni Talk presented by Fly FM truly was an enriching, and of course inspiring experience for the lucky students, and also students had the opportunity to meet the celebrities, get to know the how the icon’s had achieved and get some advices and also laughter’s. Personally, I had enjoyed the LOL (Live Out Loud) Uni Talk a lot, since I had gained some information about the industry life and how to cope with it in future. It was a good experience for me by this LOL Uni Talk.
