Well anyway, i've finally made up my mind..that i'll be majoring in journalism!yesss, journalism!honestly, just a couple of hours ago i was still being on the fence regarding this majoring stuff..PR or journalism?then thanks to me being an insomniac lately..i've started to think..ALOT and DEEPLY into this matter and after a very long and thorough considerations on both sides..i've decided to commit myself to journalism..
Reasons why i chose journalism over PR?....i forgot=P(my mind was in a turbulent and chaotic state trying to figure out what to choose)
Well what i do remember is that im pretty encouraged by the fact that i got an A for my news writting (english i got an A-) so this should mean something right?i mean yea..alot of people score for that subject but hey,this doesnt mean that the lecturer is being lenient but the students are very good at it..right?right?...right!..so i've never said it before but im actually quite proud of it..
Secondly, you will not be growing grapes (menganggur) if u're in the field of journalist because if you are, you're either one hell of a useless ass or the world have become too dumb and retarded to know how to read so yea..the percentage for me being unemployed is 1 to 1000 or more..even some research (that lotz of people have been talking about but i dont know what research izzit) shows that journalist is one of the 10 occupations that are not being affected by the economy meltdown..so a tick for me..as im the eldest and i have 2 lil bros to support in the future..job security is a must for me..
Thirdly..im actually not really good at anything..err..yea..im just quite the average or below average kind of guy..even in writting..yea,though i get an A in news writting but then i still feel that itz not really up to the standard that can take me far..why did i choose journalism then?apart from the two reasons stated..another one would be because this is where i know i can still improve..i still have time..atleast one sem to improve on my writting and language,so yea fingers crossed that i'll be able to improve alot before i set out on my training next year...
Next, this would be my ticket out of this country..no, im not saying Malaysia is not a good country..i mean why isnt it not a good country?other than the racial issue,childish politicians, more racial issues, more childish politicians, stupid racist principle of Penang Free School and bad traffic light..being a Malaysian isnt such a bad idea..right?right?...RRRIGHHT!..i just want to live my life to the fullest..explore every part of the world if i could..and being a journalism..the oppurtunities are there..travelling has always been one of my unsung passion..i'll have the chance to fulfill that passion..im not that guy who sits in the office from 8-5..doing the routine work over and over and over again..perhaps that's why im bored out pretty fast working in the mall..and the best thing bout it is "I get to travel around for free" quotes Mr Razeef..one of my lecturers...a funny fella..=D
Another reason is...is that perhaps i get to cover news about sports..badminton,basketball,swimming,football..football..football..football..right, main thing is bout football..lol..so yea..i hope i'll get a chance to be based in England as a sports journalist or something like that..then woohoohoo!every weekend..covering news from the Kop and singing the anthem YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE..ahh...that's a dream..ask every football fan..they'll answer u the same thing..minus the journalist part..that's my part..lol..
To archieve all those..i need to improve on alot of things u see..first on the lisst is my old die hard habit - procrastination- ughh...need to stop procrastinating!
next would be to improve on my language and writting skills..books books books..i need more books!
next would be...ermm..errmm..havent figure it out yet..feeling a lil too sleepy..
i do not know why..i always have ideas to blog and write and think during the middle of the night..odd..really really odd..=.="
oh welll..after all this typing..feeling a lil sleepy..
i guess that's all for now for this chapter..
till the next one..
chaozzzz!!!!!
8 months of being together..
contains the best and worst times in my life..
perhaps that's the reason why i greatly treasure this period being with you..
and hopes that it continues to go on..
much love,
your honey~~~~=D

important thing is that u enjoy the journalism work itself. that enjoyment will be the difference
Well, bro...journalism ain't an easy job, but as a guy i think u could handle it. Added with ur A in E.L. It might be fun but the STRESS will always be there. U have to maintain high speed in ur work performance as journalist works are always timeliness. U will have chances to cover news from place to place but dun put high hopes on local journalism to do reporting overseas, because local news org. always get news from the news wire as they purchase news in long run. Unless u can get urself in those news wire agency, tht will b real cool. BTW, those local news org. ain't so "DAI KAI" 1,let u travel always huh!! haha, u will know how "Kiam Siap" are they then. Being a journalist, it is always a word for me, "RUSH"! Because u will always have to rush for deadlines & editing. There will always an emergency ya. But the good side of it,is u can always see those in high high status...this is kinda excitement to ME. haha...
Juz in case you dont know or want to know further in detail, these are the world's famous news wire: Agence France Presse(AFP), Reuters, Associated Press(AP)
That's all the comments from your sista^^
All the Best to you ya...
cheers~
