Bad fucking day and it hasn't even started yet.

We booked a cab to bring us from Woodlands to Shatec (which is at Bukit Batok) and then Clementi cost me $23. That asshole of a taxi driver stopped the meter when we reached Shatec and started it again without me knowing when he was sending me to Clementi.

So this was what I paid.

Basic fare $2.40
Peak hour surcharge $1.00
Booking fee $4.00
Ride from Woodlands to Shatec $6.00

Basic fare $2.40
Peak hour surcharge $1.00
Ride from Shatec to Clementi $6.00

Total $22.40

FUCKENTAMADECHAOCHEEBAININNABEIKANINANANANANANANANAAAAA!

That fucker said it was my fault 'cos the booking was only from Woodlands to Shatec. I so badly wanted to flip the finger but then I was brought up to respect my elders blah blah blah. I feel like writing in to the taxi company and complaining except that I am malas and have too much homework to do.

It's so fun seeing all these 'O' level students coming to the MCM booth and saying they want to join mass comm because it's 'glam' (hey, they said it). And then you ask them what they think mass comm is about and they say "Oh, it's about communicating". PHWOAR. AS IF IT TOOK A GENIUS TO TAKE THE WORD 'COMMUNICATION' OUT OF 'MASS COMMUNICATION'.

And half the time they speak broken English. I'm sorry, but if your English isn't good, you can't really expect to do well because we mostly write here in MCM. Even when we do Advertising, we have to write proposals. When we're shooting a demo show for TV, we have to write the script AND a proposal.

And when I say that they should get a portfolio because it would give them an advantage over others, they wrinkle their nose at me and say "What's that?". It irks me when people think it's so easy to get in mass comm. It's not. First you have to meet the cut off point for your L1R4. Your English needs to be above a B4 though most of us hold distinctions. Then you have to go for a written test which tests you on your current news (though I remember one of our questions was "Which one of the Spice Girls did David Beckham marry?". HAHA!). And if you manage to pass everything, you have to go for an interview with our lecturers whose hobbies seem to be making students cry for the fun of it.

Mass Comm is fun if you have the passion for it. But it isn't easy. We're training to be journalists, PR people, broadcasters, anything to do with the media and it's a cutthroat business. We're bitchy but we have to be in order to survive.

Okay, I don't know why I just wrote such a long entry on MCM. HAHA. Half the time I complain but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. I'm waiting for Serene to come out of class because that nehneh is taking too long.

MEDIA RESEARCH METHODS SUCKS BALLS. Am meeting zee boyfriend later, whee!

I miss my friends. Maria, Joline, Fana, where have you guys been? Meet up soon, I need some loving already. :(
