Radio Building !

Song playing currently: SHINee's Romantic.
Mood: Emotional.

I went to the Radio Bulding at Mediacorp yesterday.
My emotions about the trip is not something that words can describe.
Stepping into Mediacorp wasn't something big, to me.
Entering into the Radio Building was.
We were supposed to have PeiFen as our tour guide, but she wasn't able to make it )= .
But it's okaez because another DJ from FM93.3 took us on a tour.
Although I wished it was PeiFen, I am still happy =D !

We went into the room where reporters collate news.
There was this cute guy who was explaining to us what their job scope was and how it is like.
Who were the superiors around there and the work shift like.
Turns out that as expected, being a reporter is hard work, and stressful too.

We went basement, and entered the room where the TrafficWatch was.
Amazing, they actually have these two screens where they can look at all parts of Singapore where there is a camera.
=D and there, whatever jams or accidents that happened, they actually key into the computer that they were facing and they will send it out to the 13 radio stations in Singapore, so that they can share it with the listeners.
The information keyed in were in English, and the DJs will have to translate them to their respective language they were broadcasting.
They were also responsible for handling calls that drivers make to update with regards to the traffic.

We went into the on air studio for FM95.8.
That was probably my one of my favourite part of the visit.
Because for the first time in my life, I was in a studio where a DJ is working.
While the song she put was on-going, she took the chance to interact with us, telling us what the computers in front of her was.
One for traffic watch, one showing the programme list, etc.
And then she got a phone call.
She answered, and the song was ending.
She immediately told the caller to call back in a short while.
She has such an agile handling method.
I swear I was amazed how she could adjust the panel at such a fast speed.
She put on her headphones and went ON AIR !
Then she updated the listeners about the traffic conditions.
The most amazing part was, she didn't have a script.
All she had was a computer showing the traffic news and she was reading off it.
The news were in English with specific terms like CTE, expressway, etc and she could translate it into perfect Chinese on spot.

The headphones, the mics, the computer screen, the chair, the table, they were all my dreams.
And I, were like in my own dreams, and the only regret was, I was watching another person fulfilling my dream.
This fabulous DJ, she is known as LianJie =) .

Next, we moved on to the 6th level where the FM93.3 studio was.
YES FM93.3 !
THE DREAM OF MY LIFETIME.
THE DREAM I HAVE SINCE P5.
I WAS ABOUT TO CRY WHEN I STEPPED INTO THE ROOM.
On the door were many photographs of DJs and the idols that probably came to the recording room.
Music surrounded the room, enveloping me in it.
The room was messy but it was cozy.
And at that moment, my passion my reignited, from a small amber, to a burning flame.
I cannot express how touched I feel, even it was just standing at that room, where I won't make a difference.
I knew at that very second, when WeiBin was explaining how the computers and everything work, that this room was where I wanna spend my life with.
And I am serious.

I am serious about my dream to be a DJ.
I want to be on air, interacting with listeners.
I wanna be on air for a programme with a partner and have fun while working.
This is the job that I want, and I can't wait for myself to finally see myself achieving this dream of mine.

Both LiYi LaoShi and WeiBin are so pretty.
I want to be as pretty as them.
LiYi LaoShi's voice is so nice.
And I bet WeiBin's too.
I really hope that I can qualify to be a DJ.

But right now, I am stuck with tonnes of assignment.
A webpage design, codings, that are beyond my ability.
A news writing, 2500 words, beyond my capability.
And lastly, a live broadcasting about popular culture on-going in Singapore teens, beyond my creativity.

I know I will complete and every single task.
But good or not, is another story.
I wish everything will turn out well.
I really wanna pull my results up.
I am so sick of myself procrastinating and slacking.
I feel so guilty.
If only I can sit in FM93.3 room everyday, I bet my results will shoot to a 3.8 at least -_- .

Please, dear God, please let this childhood and only ambition dream of my come true.
I need to be on air, I need to be heard.
I want to be heard.
Dear God, please.

/AnnWai.

PS: I wish that one day, when I really become a DJ, I am gonna look back at this post and say, "Yes, I finally did it =) !"
