週末は待つ

The weekend's here, 2 days to AHM.

It's been a mentally draining and physically exhausting week. I am having fun in school, but my main gripe is that the travelling is really getting on my nerves. Rush hour turns what should be a 30 minute journey, into an hour long bus ride. Imagine if I had went to NTU, think I'll be cursing a lot on the bus and train ride to Boon Lay.

Went to Caldecott Hill for the Mediacorp Studio tour that the nice people at SMUBE organised for us this afternoon. It was fascinating how the DJs work with such efficiency during their shows. The equipment looked a lot more complicated than what I saw at the Power 98 studios the other time. Stanley, one of the DJs and producers at Live 93.8 showed us around. We got to take a peek at Daniel Ong and Jean Danker at work while they were on their shifts.

We also went to the TrafficWatch department, where they have access to 400 cameras on the roads throughout Singapore. So it's true. You are being watched by Big Brother at all times. We saw this 3-car accident on the PIE, and the camera could actually zoom in to see the faces of the people who got out of their cars. Was quite amusing to see them looking pissed and quarreling with each other. Quite voyeuristic eh.

When we were at the reception waiting to go into the radio building, there were these group of schoolgirls seated at the waiting area doing their homework. Anytime a TV personality walked out, they would stop doing their homework and ask for their autograph. Well, I guess we all have our hobbies.

Gonna do a recording with Tim and Eric for Campus Radio tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well! AHM on Sunday, Terry Fox Run to sign up for, but most nagging thought on my mind, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PRESENTATION ON MONDAY!!! Just how do you make the presentation of balance sheets interesting? Dress up in a number costume maybe. I don't know.
