Just came back from lesson at SMA for my second lesson on Radio DJ.
Tonight's lesson was taught by Cong Qing (周琮庆) and Kenneth Lim (林俊欣). Tonight's lesson was a fruitful lesson as it covers on interviewing skills as well as editing of voice and sound skills.
First half of the lesson was lectured by Cong Qing about interviewing skills on air. As Cong Qing is a very fun and crazy person, his lesson is also very relaxing. Don't know whether is it because my H1N1 Declaration Form is too smooth/ crumpled, or what, Cong Qing keep flipping to my form and calling my name.
First row call asking about why we are interested in the course, I was selected. When it comes to trying out on the interview with mock artiste (starred by Cong Qing), I'm also the first few which he chose from the stack of form.
No idea it's unlucky or too lucky. Anyway, maybe also because my chinese name is easy to call and Cong Qing and Pei Fen is good friends.
During break time, the in-charge of the course came in and pass us the group list on who to pair with for the recording session coming Thursday for one programme. As unlucky, my partner has drop out of the course and I am left with no partner (loner). The person in-charge asked me to join in with some other groups, which is so difficult to find. Whatever it is, I joined the girl beside me (Ebby) as her partner is not around today as well.
Anyway, after the first half and the tea break with the refreshments, we proceed with the lesson with Kenneth Lim. A chatty guy who articulate very well in Chinese and his words expression is superb.
We are suppose to do a MCQ questions and people in the class will be called to answer the various questions, and again, my name was called. I really have no idea why today my name is so popular and always kena called. I don't mind being called, but I am called to answer the longest question. But that also means that I'll learn more with answering more questions.
After the MCQ section, Kenneth went in depth with sound recording and his experience in interviewing artiste. There after he taught us how to use the software to edit sound, add sound effects to interviews. So on and so forth. The lesson ends at 10.30pm today as Kenneth over run on the lecture time. Luckily the lesson was interesting.
Drop 2 of my classmates along the way at Ang Mo Kio before I drove back home. Just before I go home, i went to wash my car at Sembawang Road Caltex and unluckily my car windscreen is hit by a small stone and it cracks from the side of the driver side. The length I think at least 8cm long. Now, I am supered affected with the cracked wind screen now. No mood already. :(
Tomorrow night's lesson will be lectured my Liyi and I think she is a very sterned person. But nonetheless, hope everything goes on well.
Time to rest as tomorrow will be yet another long long day.
Take care guys. Nitey.
