Sense of humour much needed

I haven't been blogging for...God knows how long.

I feel the past few weeks have been stressful for a lot of us, JRians. Class politics becoming more apparent. We blame it on anger built-ups over the years and crappy assignments given to us on our FINAL semester. (Hey earth to J.S. and the uni staffs, it's only a 7 weeks semester!! Gives us a break already!)

Moving along...

Today, classes were real dead. Lecturer was asking us to answer her questions and all of us look with 'O' on our mouths. Nevertheless, we tried our best to answer the questions on a step-by-step basis. Here's one of them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 1:

Rewrite the following print article to a broadcast script.

The state of the X (country) economy looks good with the GDP growth maintaining a robust rate. Nevertheless, the problems in the country’s economy is inflation, which is understated at a CPI (Consumer Price Index) of 2.50.

The country is also no longer in an attractive position in the foreign investors’ radar and this will take a toll on the economy in the longer term.

1) Create a headline

Answer 1: X's economy still healthy.
Answer 2: X's economy still sunny.
Answer 3: X's economy still healthy but inflated. o_O



2) Rewrite the article to make it sound better on the ears.

The country is also no longer in an attractive position in the foreign investors’ radar and this will take a toll on the economy in the longer term.

Answer 1: X is becoming less attractive to foreign investors and this will affect the economy in the long term.
Answer2: X needs a bikini and a sexy pose to gain more foreign attention. ><"

Yup we tried our best despite us being so stoned and brain-dead for intelligent questions. Let's just say the lecturer was not impress. XD

Think this could serve as a gentle(?) reminder to take time to unwind and breathe in and out (wuuuu-saaaaaa...). This especially goes out to my classmates.

Now, to get back to my thesis or to be more accurate (we future journalists suppose to be anyway), final year project.

Take care peeps!
