Me in The Age

There are some rare (ahem) days when I become super vain ^_^ One of those days is TODAY. A while ago, a journalist from The Age wanted to interview for his article on international students. I was super excited when I heard the prospect of me appearing in a national media. Having your name mentioned in a national media does not exactly happen everyday.

So, in the spirit of super vanity, here's the Epicure article with mentioning of me:

I was supposed to get my picture taken for the article but since there was not enough time, my picture was not included in the article in the end :(

To me, the most captivating part of this experience is not actually the fact that my name get mentioned in a national media. It is actually how Michael described me in his article based on our conversation. He described me as a girl who "loves her food" and "never skips a meal".

As a Media graduate, I have been learning about the art of journalism for years. A significant part of my studies is focused on the object of media. Media's recent focus on the rich and famous suggest our obsession as society towards the rich and famous. It's just weird how after studying "the object of the media" for a few years now I become an "object" myself.
