The Perfect Life

What is the definition of the perfect life on earth? No pain? no sadness? all fun and no sour and bitter moments? and everyone is for you? everything is your way and you have a great career?

Come to think of it, a life like that won't be perfect at all. i mean, if our life is really like that, we won't have much things to share with our friends and family. everything's so perfect and there's nothing to change, there's nothing more to strive for.... there wont be anything to improve relationships...as we know, hardships can break relationships, but, it can make relationships better too.

with such a 'perfect' life, and everyone is smiling at u, you wont really know what people are really thinking of you and who really cares for you. everything will become bland and boring after a while... there wont be anything for us to think about or worry about..uneventful...

you know, if i were given a chance to go back in time and change any moment i hate, i wouldn't change it at all. because i wouldnt be who i am today if i changed it. and i most probably wont meet the people i know today.. and one of them is a very very special person to me... in a way, God made my life perfect. and i really thank Him for that. :)

Exams again... 0.o

time flies...and i mean, REALLY flies.... it feels like after i left high school, time sped up! remember when we used to sit at those boring old classrooms, bored...waitinf for time to pass...? that's no more now... for some reason time doesn't seem to be enough...maybe coz too much work...:p

oh well, anywayz...finals for my 2nd sem in college is next wednesday. not much time left to study. hehe...the end of 2nd sem also means that i'm only about 4.5 months away from 2nd year. and that'll pass very quickly... 2nd sem was hectic. there's no more cu-cu, thank God, but we had a total of 5 productions to make up.... 2 dramas, 1 radio ad, 1 TV interview program, and 1 radio breaking news.

sounds fun? of course it is! but as i said before, more fun means more work. hehehe...i'm officially declaring myself as a member of people with panda eyes. hey, pandas are cute anyway, and they're china's national treasure. hehe....

the only thing i'm frustrated about now is that CNY holidays is smack right in between my finals. i'll have holidays for CNY...but at the same time i'll have o study for the paper after CNY. then only sem break. haiz...whatever la. hahahahahahahaha...

The Stereotyped Mass Comm

Most people who's not in the mass comm field or yet to be in it tend to think that mass comm is all fun. all practical. before i went into mass comm, i had a friend who said she's thinking of studying mass comm because she didn't want to memorize and study so much. Mass comm is often linked to...well, being famous. it is sometimes looked down upon and considered a course for those who didn't do well in their secondary education.

Boy are these stereotypes wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG. first of all, i'm quite annoyed by it. who are they to come and make comments about mass comm when they're not even fully emersed in it? haiz....

mass comm is challenging in reality. it is not for the faint hearted. it requires an amount of courage because we need to face people, and take a lot of criticisms. besides that, it isn't really easy to find a job as radio and tv stations only open for interviews when they have a slot. or look for you if you're really good or hire you for life during internship.

mass comm is practical in many ways. but most people fail to see the theory part. theories are just as important as they will be used in practical. but most students don't care about theories. some even leave because too many theories....and the more fun your job is, the more work it requires. for example, we did a musical drama for our assignment. and i tell you, it was fun but it was also......well, we were zombified. first was the brainstorming for ideas, then came the writing of script, editting, rehearsals, and coz it was a musical we had to choreograph dance moves, learn and practice them, get costumes, etc....and there was the storyboard too... @.@

and it's only the 2nd semester. it gets well....more and more throughtout the sems...

i'm not saying that mass comm is bad. no. in facct i'm really enjoying it and doing well. however, it's just not what people think it is. it requires hard work, smart work, efficiency, will and determination to keep going. it requires sacrifice of time and money. so, if anyone out there reads this, think about it. most importantly, follow your dreams and don't let any hindrances stop you....
