It pays to be a young journo


Movie outing: Through the Starstruck programme, teenage writers like Jewel Shreya Naidu and Jade Wong get to attend movie premieres and write their reviews for print.

IT’S insane how fast time goes by. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to bring out Buzzfeed-style nostalgia, but some things are really worth being nostalgic for. Take, for example, my experience being a junior journalist with the Starstruck! programme this year.

It all started on a rainy November evening last year. I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when I saw a Starstruck! advertisement posted by my good friend and Starstrucker, Jade Wong.
