Episode I

Been running out of ideas of what to blog about...Then I recalled that I had some journal entries that I submitted to my lecturer. Finally, it's publicized for all to read. Enjoy!

Journal Entry 1

“Time” is similar to a racecar. It cannot afford to slow down and it never will. And we, as human beings, have race against “Time” so we are able to accomplish the tasks that we set out to do. Or else we will lag behind and lose ourselves to the world of the Past.

Second week of school is over in a blink of an eye. Lessons apart, I’ve been drifting aimlessly through my life at school everyday. There’s hardly any time for me to sit down and reflect on what I did. But now, since I have the time, I shall talk my life in school for journal-introduction purposes.

I always wanted to do a filming course since back in secondary school. I aimed towards Ngee Ann Poly for the course: Film, Sound and Video. Obviously I didn’t got in that school but it’s not a sad case for me either. In this course, I’m not only studying about the media but also understanding the media industry. So, it’s a great course and I’m obliged not to complain about my situation. I’m happy to be here, that’s the most important thing for me.

I’ve met new and very interesting people in my class. One of my classmates is a dude who had just finished his service in NS. Xiang Jing’s a terrible nice and sociable person from what I saw. Another classmate, I think, comes from Down Under. Her name is Jo Yin. There was this time when I accidentally faked an accent in front of her. I realized it but she didn’t. I felt terrible after that because I behaved like an ass. I’m not trying to mock her but I have a habit for learning foreigners’ accents: British, French, American and Australian.

So far this class is all right. Everybody’s being nice to each other. I don’t know anyone who is wearing a mask and pretending to be nice. I’m hoping no one does that. I hate having politics in class and I like to stay clear of them. There is nothing worse than being sandwiched in a battle of wits and brawn between two opposing parties.

The lecturers are kind of fun and somewhat demanding. Again, I can’t complain about it. I think they expect more from us since we’re Media students. Anyway, I’m planning to go to university, so I got to snap out of my holiday mood and start cracking.

Hopefully, this week goes by smoothly again.
