DJ Course

As some of you have known, I have signed up for a DJ Course organized by FM95.8. It started from yesterday and will end on next Wednesday. It will be a tiring week for me again cuz I have to rush to attend the lesson after work. The class starts from 7.30pm to 10.30pm.

There is 44 students in the class, ranging from 18 years old to 50 years old. Majority of the students, I would say, are all speaking like they come from China! And there is this ongoing pressure that: Hey, you shouldn’t be in this class if you can’t even speak proper Mandarin!

I sat with the youngest in the class, the 18 year old girl, who is taking her A Levels this year. She speaks perfectly, and I thought she is from China or Taiwan. BUT SHE IS LOCAL! And she is a DJ in Singapore Hokkien Association, participated in a lot of DJ competitions, a FM95.8 DJ found her and invited her to work in FM95.8.

I met a teacher who dresses like she is going Ge-Tai, with mini skirt and blink blink clothes. She speaks with a Taiwanese accent.

I met a Language School instructor who comes from China. She reads well and fast. And while other students are reading, she will like to read along loudly to compete.

I met another PRC man who has a perfect voice.

These people are all carrying a dream of becoming a DJ. Some of them seems like they are coming for Superstar competition, heavily make up, pretty clothes. Everyone tries to speak proper Mandarin.

And me, wearing a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, putting on spectacles, carrying a Converse bag, seems like the most sloppishly dressed person there.

After yesterday, I didn’t feel like going anymore.

STRESS.STRESS.STRESS.STRESS.STRESS.STRESS.STRESS.STRESS.STRESS.

Everyone is trying to 脱颖而出. And damn my running nose, I speak weirdly, and my 绕口令speaks so slowly, with so many dunno-how-to-read words.

Well, just take it as an experience bah. SAY BYE BYE TO MY DJ DREAM!

I can’t be a film maker, I can’t be a DJ, I can’t be a writer, I can’t be a scipt writer.

I CAN’T BE ANYTHING!

Then I dunnoe why am I studying this course. -_-

Perhaps, I just have to sit beside the Director and be the Assistant Producer by holding 2 time watches.

Or perhaps, I just have to go back to a hotel and be a receptionist.

Oh wells…
