✗o✗o, Diana

The reason why I pursued Mass Comm is because the media excites me. I mean, not as a famous artiste in the limelight but the challenge of the industry that spikes my interest. I wouldn't say that I write really well or am eloquent in speech but I guess my major plus point would be that I like expressing myself in my own perhaps...say, unique way? I think I am quite an eccentric and I don't like conforming to the masses. But this does not mean that I am weird or dislike traditional stuffs. Well, the irony is so.

Anyway, talking about future plans. Hitched a ride after school from Eugene yesterday and he mentioned that he was gonna try for SQ to be a pilot after graduation. Of course, being the ever encouraging friend as always, I told him to go for it! You're young only once and besides he said he made the cut during his NS days but did not pursue further. His reason for majoring in mass comm was to make his mark in the advertising sector, but being a pilot was one of his dreams. So we talked about the pros and cons about the possibility of him joining RSAF; then suddenly he posed 'THE QUESTION' to me.

A year ago if you asked if I had my future planned out, I would have tried to subtly evade your question by saying something politically correct like "oh, maybe PR? or journalism? Not sure yet." I mean, I had to give an answer right? Like, why would I wanna take Mass Comm if I didn't know what I wanted to do/work for? In real fact, I really had no idea like which company I wanna work for, not to mention that I don't even know what position would bring out the best in me.

How coincidental for someone to ask on my future plans just at about the same time I drafted it out in my head. It's true! I was thinking about it these past week, constantly asking myself what is it that I enjoy the best. Honestly, I don't know if just having SUPER passion alone would suffice but I am willing to give my all to ensure that this future plan of mine succeeds eventually.
