you must be wondering why i have time to blog when i say i will be busy for this whole week?

i skipped the journalism workshop today and i stayed at home. aha. this explains why i am free to blog. :D

the journalism workshop is quite interesting and fun. ( except for the part when the presenter talked about world news and politics, i almost fell asleep when she was talking about that. ) i have always like stuffs related to the media industry but after attending that workshop, i'm having second thoughts about being part of the industry.

the workload seems to be really heavy and the working hours is long. the job seems to be really tedious and one must be emotionally and mentally prepared for all the events and things that will come your way. i'm not very sure whether can i take on roles like this because i am not a very emotionally stable person and i am not sure whether am i that good at handling stress. aha. so for the moment, i don't think this is the ideal job scope for me. but still, i wouldn't mind being exposed to such areas because i can gain more experiences and it seems pretty fun. (:

the workshop is actually pretty okay, but i seriously get super uber TURNED OFF by this nerdy looking guy from the workshop.

i came to class late and when i entered the class, i just plopped into the seat that was nearest to the door because i was feeling sooo hot and tired. i turned around to see this nerdy looking freak beside me and he was staring at me with a smile on his face. i felt like i was some kind of goddess. ( aha. ignore me. i am just bragging. ) due to the type of person i am, ( you know how polite i am laa. ) i jus smiled. i find him quite farmiliar looking and so i told him that he seems farmiliar and i went ahead to ask some really basic questions like, "so what year are you in?". in the end, he told me things like, "oh i am from year one and i am from student ambassador, enterprenuer IG blah blah blah and the list just goes on." he was seriously bragging about his acheivements to me. then, i tried my best to reduce my conversations with him to the minimal because he can be really long-winded.

then, throughout the whole day, when i got to know this person better, HE JUST MANAGED TO TURN ME OFF EVEN MORE.

during groupwork, he will be trying his outmost best to get into things that are happening and he loves to take the lead. then, he says things like "just do it. write it down. if anything happens there will always be me. trust me." omfg. sometimes it feels like he is commanding us you know. worst of all, he is just in YEAR ONE. the two other people in the team are from YEAR THREE and they are just relatively shutting themselves up. during a presentation, he was yakking away and explaining and i was relatively just standing beside him and whenever he was stumped for words, ( it happens frequently for him ) i would just help him to deliver the points across more clearly or to add in more ideas. the wierd thing is, the presenter praises me most of the time while he was yakking away. -.-

the two other people in the team was relatively quite dead. both of them didn't even say anything much during the presentation and they gave a really really BLACK FACE. i did approach them many times and ask them to speak up but they just said nevermind and continued showing a black face while the other guy was yakking away.

at the end of the day when we are being dismissed, the nerdy guy just said "so what time are we meeting up tml?" everyone at the table just gave a blank face. he went ahead and said that we should discuss about the time to meet up tml for the assignment in the morning. we need to come up with 50 ideas that is worthy to be places in the news bulletin as news. ( this is seriously tough and that explains why i didn't attend the workshop today. ) everyone told him that it's individual work and he refused to believe us. he then gave his number to all of us. when he was writing down his number, the two other people in the team was trying to run away and he told them, "don't go! take my number first before you go ah!" but seriously, the two other people just couldn't be bothered by it and the guy just walked off while the girl, after collecting the number, just walked out too.

when i was about to leave, the guy followed me hurriedly and began to tell me about his brother being at tekong tml for a passing out parade. i just nod my head politely but i was all the while trying my best to escape. at the end, he told me "aiya! tml i might not be able to come leh. i'll pass you the assignment tonight and you help me hand over it to the teacher tml can?" i seriously didn't know what to say except to smile. is he in primary school or something?

WHAT ON EARTH IS THE WORLD TURNING INTO?

i seriously hope i don't meet such people in the upcoming semester. meeting such people only makes me realise how good W14D is. aha. :D
