Hmmm how should I start? Well, you see, during tutoriol class just now, out of the blue, my lec ask if I would like to go into PR or journalism once I finish my diploma. I was blaaaank for a moment, then when question hit me, I went " EH??!!" Turns out, she noticed my English isn't too bad when she marked my paper and she said that is an advantage for me since most of the people in the hotel industry have low proficiency in English. Grr I forgot the order of the things she said, so I'll just type them in whatever sequence. She told me I could finish my diploma and degree in hospitality and take diploma in mass. comm while working as a backup. And I can work as a freelance journalist. Then she said something that makes me go "HUH?" She said I keep a low-profile, but what makes me standout is my writing. Then she said, "You're outspoken, inquisitive and bla bla." I was taken aback as outspoken is the last quality I would use to describe myself. She said so because moments ago, we were bitching about a certain quarter and their stupidity. Then she said if I go into journalism, I am more of the one that deal with facts, like politics, not those celebrity gossips. (read : kaypoh ones) This reminds me of what El said I could do if I don't get hospitality. Her mum actually said that I should take political journalism. ( ??) Anyway, my lec said it can be dangerous to my life since I'm outspoken and should learn when to tone down. She also encouraged me to learn more languages, French, German, Korea and Arabic, =__= if I intend to stay in Malaysia. OK anyway, I'm going to give her idea a thought. And oh, I got back my paper, I PASSED!! WOOHOO¬ But damn kns la, I lost by one mark to a guy. grr... I hate losing out to guys. Unfortunately, my lec heard me and said " It's good to have the fighting spirit in you. You are what they call chilli padi." So I don't know whether she's referring to my size or whatever.
