6th June 2006

Today's eevvill. Cos it's the 6th day of the 6th month in 2006. Meaning 6/6/06 . The mark of the beast...haha

I'm not that supersitious la, if it's time for him to come it's time. It'll come when everyone least expects it.

Woke up bright and early at 7 this morning, i felt energetic despite sleeping only 6hours, must be cause the muscle cramps are almost gone and i'm used to sleeping 3or4hours during ATC, so today was like heaven.

For all the people who couldn't make it to the media club camp: You guys are missing out, lots. There's a whole bunch of talks and activites, like trips to the news and printing centres, how a newspaper works, tips on photography, how to interview a celebrity, and other stuff.

First day was fun, this camp is soooooooo much more slack than ATC? Lunch and breaks are catered, got nice air con room(but it's super cold), can sit around, relax, make jokes, it's a different learning experience altogether.

First talk was interesting, focused on how newspapers and languages were interlinked. Really deep, profound stuff which gave me a slight headache, like the beauty of language and the beauty of journalism and meeting deadlines while keeping your feet on the ground and stuff like that. Next talk was on photojournalism, which i like, cos taking photos is my hobby. Again, more insightful stuff like composition, light exposure, sharpness and brightness, who knew so much stuff could fit into a picture? But no, we didn't win =(

We did win for some newspaper game though, supposed to cut out headlines from the straits times and form a short story. We formed something like: Barbie's boyfriend Abbu Sayyal, was arrested for teaching terrorists english without a permit. 2 others suspended for talking with japanese bishop in public.My runescape stats
