it turned out that i wasn't even shortlisted in the end.

despite the innumerous uncertainties whether do i even deserve it, you get quite peeved when you are not even shortlisted just because you are a Not Significant Figure (NSF).

it peeves you off even more when someone else, out of nowhere, got shortlisted because he got a trememdously high score out of the blue.

i'm not going to lauch some emo crap here, but all my life, i have eschewed fairness. and when fairness comes into question in the context of the training school, the scores tells the best story. nobody manipulates the score for a start. if the scores clearly states that these are the 3 top scorers from each course, they should be pulled in into a interview panel (why is it the case that just because you are a Not Significant Figure, you don't get to enjoy such basic rights of fairness?) secondly, comments by individuals should be affect how the eventual judgement is made (i have this mental picture that krishna raj did something). these 3 people should be brought to a interview panel, where every single interviwer, let's say 5, will be given a score sheet, which will be tabulated for the average in the end. the mix of interviwers should even, basically, with an equal number of instructors from the different courses, to ensure that there is an equal representation throughout. (what happened for President's Scout Award should not happen again). Should any of the interviwees be unable to attend, the interview has to be called off, because representation is now uneven across the board. And if such is the case that one of the interviewers are away for a long period of time, a replacement has to be called in, to ensure fairness.

"it's not fair!"

yeah, but unfortunately, it's never fair in life. just like today, my efforts in making the animation became somebody else's effort. it's never fair.

hey, get up and move on, you've gotta be stronger than this, right?
