return to me salvation

the interview's over. god help me, it is anything but promising. at least that's how i feel. but anyway, i'll still update parts of the interview i remembered.

felicia nah: so currently are you a student anywhere else?
me: i've been posted to sp's media and communications.

nah: oh so why didn't you put tp as your first choice?
me: i couldn't cos i wasn't eligible for it. i was forced to put sp as my first choice, and i got in.

(then she went on asking me why i didn't apply through jpsae and of course i told her why i didn't know i could and you know the whole jpsae saga)

nah: so what makes you want tp more than sp?
me: tp's cmm is more diverse and it holds equal emphasis on both media and business. whereas sp's media and communication has a greater emphasis on business than media, which isn't what i'm looking for.

nah: oh okay. so what job scope do you see yourself in upon graduation.
me: i know tp's has sociology and media marketing as their electives. however im hoping that after the first year module, i'll find a field that i like doing in the next few years. because tp's cmm covers both media marketing and business, so if one day i realise i don't really like the media industry, there's still business and marketing that i can fall back on. however, i'm rather keen on audio production, becasue i like how it sets the mood and atmosphere in films, and how it impacts the audience even without them realising it.

nah: so have you tried any audio editing software?
me: erm, no, not at the moment.
nah: well you should. there're lots in the market you can play around with, but of course the better ones will give you wider features.

nah: but anyway you know what the course we offer includes tv production, broadcasting and journalism as well. so its a full package thing, not like just audio production alone.
me: yes, they all interest me but i like audio production the most.

nah: so anyway how old are you this year?
me: im 17.
nah: wait a minute, you're not over-aged right?
me: no, im 17 this year.
nah: (check the documents) yes you're 17. you seem mature for your age, as compared to those i've interviewed who are 17 as well.
me: i've had people telling me i look like a nus student.
nah: yes in fact you do. maybe its the way you speak, and the sound of your voice. its quite deep.
me: (laugh a little) yes i get what you mean.

nah: but if you're given the oppurtunity for the course, you gotta step up to it and grab it. don't just let it slip by.
me: yes, like you always come forward and even be aggressive.
nah: yes you have to be aggressive. you always have to be there in action, and not standing there at the back of the wall, hoping not be be seen.
me: yes.

nah: well thank you coming down for the interview, and hopefully i'll see you in tp. the results will be out together with the appeal, so where you go will depend on the appeal results.
me: okay, thank you for the interview.

GIVE IT TO ME, AND TELL ME IM IN.
