TnB is coming! WOO.
i'm excited! :D

really misses school life. just 9 more weeks and i'll be back to embrace studying life! :)
but i think i'll miss work life also.. sigh.

so many articles waiting for me to do. super stressed up. super tired.
i wanted to camp over at MCS today to finish them.. but really too tired after meeting the ambs. i'm gonna sleep soon and wake up at 5am tmr and go for work.

haven't been very productive this week, i feel. just too many things to do lah. sigh.
i really really need to finish all my URTO articles by tmr night. and i'm all ready to camp over tmr night if i can't finish. ENDURE! two more weeks and URTO will be history! WOOHOO.
not that i dislike the show or what.. but i guess after URTO is off my shoulders, my workload will lessen a little... i wont have to go back to work during off days, i wont have to think of crappy ideas and i wont be haunted about work in my dreams. hahahaha.

but i'll definitely miss the days lah.. some contestants are really fun people and they make my mondays enjoyable and i don't feel like i'm working. hahaha. i've really got a lot to blog about URTO but i guess i'll wait till everything is over before i come up with a super long post. right now, i have about 4 URTO articles on hand to be written! sigh. =(

----
daniel is leaving already. kinda sad. though i only meet him at work less than 10 times, but he's my idol lah. muahahaha. he's like good in all aspects of media...and he tried so many different things la. kinda envy him man! he hosted on TV before.. is a DJ and a reporter.. and a lecturer too! that's super duper cool. sigh. i hope his contract will get renew, if not it's pretty depressing that we're gonna lose an excellent colleague! sigh..

on a happier note.. I AM GOING TO TAIWAN IN 7 DAYS TIME!!!! HOOOORAAAAYYYY!
i seriously need a break.

sleeping now! :)

smiled at 11:40:00 pm


felt a bit useless now. and helpless.
there're so many things going on, yet i'm unaware of..
how i wish i can split myself into two and handle both sides stuffs at the same time.
really. 24 hours a day is not enough. can i have 48hours a day?

i am not spending enough time on it and i know about it. that's why i feel miserable. if only i have 48 hours a day. i could have done so many things. but i've given my promise and i'll keep to that. i won't disappoint the people who have trusted me. :)

-----

work,as usual, has been super hectic. but despite being busy, there are still fun moments. :D
i wanted to post some pictures up here, but i dunno why my lappy can't detect those photos! sigh.sigh.sigh. shall try in office later. i hope can work. really like those photos alot.

----

talking to chef charlene and found out that she's engaged and will be getting married soon! super elated and excited for her. whoa. finally got a friend marrying soon liao. :D glad that she found her true love and everything is going perfectly well for her now. she said she wanna intro me an italian guy. YEAH. but that guy is like 27 years old?! so i told her can wave goodbye liao! hahaha. super long never meet my mooncake buds already. sigh!

can i request for 48hours a day please? =(

又来发泄!哈哈。

很难过勒~今天URTO的新闻我非常的不满意!但没有办法啊...时间不够... 哎~ ganna scrape off one whole chunk while editing the footages. so unhappy about that but i know i have no rights to be unhappy lah. honestly speaking, 娱乐新闻没有比hard news重要啦! it's just that.. hai.. this is semi finals leh, yet it's the shortest news out of all i've done. muahahaha. i'm sorry guys! but i'm glad that i stood on my stand and decided what should be taken out though editor has got a different opinion from me, but base on how i see the whole clip, i didnt exactly followed what my editor wanted. It's okay though! the news turn out fine anyway lah :D

太多稿等着去写..太累了..
但就算是病了..还是得完成那些稿啊...
所以生不生病其实也没有差..
病了,又怎么样?只要手没有断掉,还是可以打稿的呀! :)

cannot take it liao. need to sleep first before i write some articles. only slept for 3 hours last night.

smiled at 11:07:00 pm


another post before i go to sleep..
sigh. probably can only sleep for 2 hours.

just finished my URTO news story.
been two months since i started 'following' on this show.
suddenly i just feel so exhausted and numbed. i know this feeling will go away soon though. haha.

today is just not my day lah. many unlucky things happened. oh..and i hereby declare that my reporter's notebook is really gone. big sigh. =(

i think yc is right. those dreams that you remember will definitely not come true. anw i got plenty of things to share about URTO..but i'm not in the mood now to blog too much about it.

congrats to gavriil, yuan shuai, zhen huan and louis though. :) and i felt that i finally saw the true caleb today. such a waste lah. if caleb had been like what he's like today from the very start, he could have been one of the top 4. and if jiaxi had not performed some talents that don't really fit into the themes that perfectly, and perform some normal talents like what he did today, he could have make it to top 4 too.(this is said by a judge and i also hold the sentiments too) but these are all 'IFs'.. everything has happened, everything is over. 过程比成绩重要..真的是这样吗?

如果当初你知道你可以做一点什么,还会有今天的遗憾吗?可惜,我们都不能预知未来...

smiled at 4:30:00 am


我觉得我今天会猛blog.
真的是有太多东西了...

刚刚写完曹格的稿...心情平复了一些。很喜欢曹格的真实。

我突然发觉自己似乎厌倦了这样的生活。
我不知道自己该以真实的性格去投入于工作,还是虚伪一点比较好。我不知道。
为什么我觉得每个人都很象是虚伪的。为什么我觉得自己也不能够在以真正的我来继续我的工作。

诗琳在blog写道: “你是先是一个人,然后才是一个记者。”

我很喜欢她的这句话。人是有感情的动物,但是记者不能感情用事,这是理所当然的。可是在某情况下,还是会有这样的发生的。我自己知道我很容易因为一些事情而心情受到影响,但在职业道德上,这是不允许的。这一点我庆幸自己还拿捏的不错。我已经学会了把 心里的感受压倒底...甚至不去有任何的感受。我觉得自己快变得一个冷血动物了。

我要当一个可以让受访者信任的记者;而我答应的事,我一定不会反悔。我不会出卖我的受访者,这是一定的。我知道什么叫做reporter's ethics。有些记者会因为要拿到独家而不择手段、要得到老板的赏识而出卖自己的受访者。要我做这样的记者,抱歉,我真的做不到。也许就是这样,我觉得自己无法在这个圈子生存。不是说做媒体的人全都是这样啦..但是,这些都是现实啦。。谁会要永远停留在一个位子?谁不希望能‘越爬越高’?而很遗憾的是,现在实力不是唯一的考量。

而我最怕的事,就是被受访者利用。要是真的发生了,我只能说自己太苯,太容易相信别人了。我是真诚相对,只能盼望对方也是。我真的不希望这短短五个月的实习会让我讨厌这个圈子。

我还可以继续的做自己吗?我觉得我太好了。好到有时很多人都把他当成一个很理所当然的事。哪怕有一天我突然变了,你们可不要惊讶...因为做好人实在是太累太累太累了...快受不了了.......

feeling totally vexed now.
super messed up.
super pissed.
super angry with myself.
super everything.

can i go to a far far away land and hide there forever?

sometimes i really wish there's someone to cheer me up when i'm feeling down.

suddenly so sick of life. =(

还是那一句话:我爱我的同事。
---
and this is really from the bottom of my heart. :)

it's a volunteers' day today. MUAHAHAHA. but i learnt a lot. i had fun. i enjoyed. :D
Despite it's mine and QN's off day today, we went down to cover two events. and i didn't regret one bit for sacrificing my off day today.

this weekend have been really an eye opener for me. gone through so many things in just two short days... i didn't know there an "audio post" up on the hill! met the two extreme personalities of a person.. super nice one and super evil one.

sometimes i dont really get it. we're like under one roof, so why can't u just be a lil bit nicer? really dont understand.

i've met an artiste that i really really admire a lot and think he really rocks. he's Gary Chaw 曹格. a guy who is very very 'real' and doesnt have the 偶像包袱 on him when he's really a super hot and popular 偶像. He's just himself and he didnt have any 'airs' or anything. It's these kind of people who give solace to me in work. Not that work has been bad or what, but really.. it always bothers me on how sincere a person is.. whether he/she is trying to be nice because of my job status or he/she is just plainly nice. I dont want to think about it, but somehow this is always floating in my mind. i guess this is media. this is PR. i'm getting quite sick of this kind of life.. where you dont know who u can really trust and who is really 'real'.

thus, i'm super glad that i've met gary and he proved to me that there's still real people in the media industry! but well, i guess that only makes up 0.1% of all the people in this line. 怎么觉得一瞬间世界变得很虚伪、很假了?

supposedly to be a good day..
well it was a good day to start with.. but there were somethings that happened at night which made this day not really a good one. SIGH.

3.30am and i'm having dinner.
can you believe that?! haha.
people say when u work u'll slim down. yes, though many a times i skip meals, but i'll get fatter i tell you. cause i always eat at weird timings!

anyway, there were some huge misunderstandings and miscommunication that i seriously think YOU should go clear it up. save us some trouble please. i was quite irritated about that. ok. not quite. is very.

i jolly well know very clearly that work is work , personal is personal..but a sad thing is that, someone is not setting a good example for me to follow! well, so i guess you can still mix personal and work together lor. hahahah. BUT i wont be like YOU. :D

work is crazy this week. almost everyday went out for interview..on top of my standard URTO articles.

stayed till 2plus AM just now tgt with QN and YH. woooot. my colleagues rock! tmr is yet another long day. or rather in few hours time. it's be-a-volunteer day! hahaha.

sleep liao. :)

电话

很讨厌打了很多通电话但是又不接的人..不回简讯的人...
你们拿手机是来干吗的?干脆把手机丢掉啦!

我明白有时是因为在忙不能接电话...but之后看到这么多miss calls就不可以回电一下吗?会要你的命啊?回一下SMS你的手指会失去一根是吗?

感谢那些每次收到我的miss call过后会回电的人...这是一种责任感。就算是陌生的号码,你们还是会回电..那些每次不会回miss call的人,我告诉你...总有一天你会因为不接电话,懒的回电而失去大机会!因为你跟本就不能预料每一通电话的重要性...我告诉你...一通电话可能改变你的人生!

信不信由你。

a urto dream...

i had a super weird dream ytd.
perhaps it's not really weird.
只能说是日有所思,夜有所梦吧。

i dreamt of URTO. again.
call that bad. cause i've been so stressed up doing all the articles about that and now it even wanna haunt me when i'm sleeping. someone save me please!

and the scary thing is.. i think i can foresee future. or whatever i say and dream may eventually be true. call that dejavu.. but it's not really dejavu. cause sometimes only parts of the dream happened in real life... or a little component of it. and the feeling is scary.. though there are also good dreams and 'swears' that it really happened! :D

i dreamt that i was at the guys semi-finals.. which is really gonna be happening this coming monday. i can't rmb the whole dream but i rmbed jianfeng preforming the show luo's song.. i rmbed hearing the judges announced that he got into the finals.. i rmbed he was wearing a light green top and white pants.. (the combi is weird i know! but it's really in my dream! hahaha). then i saw him walking to join the other two contestants at the other side.. but i can't rmb who were the other two.. then jumped to next scene.. jiaxi was showing a victory sign with his that famous smile and then taking bows... he was wearing a suit.. then it was at backstage and he was jumping up and down crazily like cannot withhold his excitement like that. and then there was a part where i keep asking people where is louis but everyone just ignored me.. and there were only 7 contestants on the stage and louis is missing!

and that's all what i can rmb from my dream... weird dream indeed huh! but i think this time round it wont happen in reality. how can louis go missing! HAHAHA. or maybe his army officer decided to abduct him at the very last second and he can't make it for the competition. but of course i hope part of my dream will become reality. heh heh. *winks*

been a super long day for me yesterday. look at the time now. it's 1.38am. WOOOT. just got home not long ago. i've broken my record of how much time i spend in the office. i stayed in the office for 15 hours yesterday! That's like fifth-eight of a day lah. i need SLEEEEEEP.

除了stress, 还是stress!

wanted to post some photos up here but i'm feeling kinda lazy. So.. wait till the next post bah! ;)

Narnia2 preview today. Got people never come collect their tickets lor! WASTED! but anw, the movie was quite good.. effects wise, filming wise, art direction wise.. but it gets a bit boring though if you're not interested in this kind of fantasy cum adventure story. well, it's still worth spending the money for this movie i guess. Anyway, the acting is mediocre only. That Prince Caspian can't really act quite well in my own opinion lah.. I thought that Peter and Edmund were much more better in acting compared to the prince! Well, you watch it to judge for yourself bah :)

feeling kind of tired.. tired of everything..

just rush out my interim report that is 30 pages long! HAHA.

been super tiring day for me.. i need some sleep!

wedding

我的三表姐结婚咯!

Today is a joyous day for my paternal side family...
cause... it's my cousin's wedding day!!! :D

but poor me gotta work in the morning so i can't attend the morning drink tea session. SIGH! SIGH! SIGH! only went for the dinner at night.

many many things to blog... but i think i need to go complete my interim report first.. which is due in few hours time! ARGHHHH!

alright. i'll be back!

oh. and this is my 201st post! WOO. =D

many many things!

今天心情还OK... 我学会了对自己不要太刻薄...
---

today was my off day supposedly, but i went back to complete my URTO article and most importantly to get my interim assessment report back and also a discussion with my supervisor. it was like the most nervous day ever since i started IAP (okay, minus the very first day i reported to work lah..hahaha)

if u're interested to know how i fared, let me tell u the truth...
i dont think i did well lah. HAHA. so dont ask me for my marks :) but anyway, it gives me more motivation to strive harder and get better results for my final assessment!

i understand how Heather felt when she got hers back. i share the same feelings with her too. okay lah, it wasn't that bad seriously. hahahaha. just that i had super high expectations of myself lah. and that's one thing i learnt today.. i shouldn't be so mean to myself. nobody is perfect in this world, and sad to say i'm not the nobody! HAHAH okay if you get my joke. muahahaha. i just know that i've always take pride in my work, give in my fullest and always do my very best. 只要对的起自己就够了!! and 我非常对的起自己!!!!!! =D 我会继续努力的!!

my colleague told me that marks are just numbers, dont need to bother so much. yeah that's definitely true lah.. but sigh! school looks at the marks leh! =( and i just realised that the scoring system is very unfair? image those people who got very strict supervisors? HENG AH my supervisor has been very nice to me :D or what if the company actually doesnt have anything for them to do but they mark them down?? Perhaps school should just IAP to a pass or fail module! [BUT then, i'm still striving towards my AD! =D ]

i told my supervisor i'm happy to get attached here. yes. workload gets crazy at times and my hours are super irregular, but at least i learn. i learn a lot, i get plenty of exposure..compared to some of my schoolmates who does nothing at their attachment places, i am ever so glad. i survived my 2 months here! HURRAY! and i'll continue to survive my next 3 months. then after that, i can proudly leave the hill. :D

有时候会觉得你付出了那么多但是没有受到认同...人生就是这样的啦...算了..只要对的起自己就好了...我相信老天是有眼的! 大家加油啊~

又有一个我认识的进superband! :D

i saw simon today at mediacorp... at first i wasn't sure that was simon.. i saw some superband people waiting for cab downstairs so i was thinking there must be some rehearsals or shoot for superband ppl today.. i kept a look out when i was at the reception to see if mark was around.. but then i spotted this super handsome guy.. HAHAHA. at first sight i was thinking ehh this guy looks damn familiar leh.. then it struck upon me that he may be simon.. (WELL, HE IS!) but i didnt say HI lah.. cause i wasn't too sure it's him and i'm wondering why the hell would simon be here unless he's in superband... but i didnt see his name in superband! i reached office and excitedly exclaimed i saw a shuai ge at reception just now. muahahah. went to check superband website...and to my surprise...THAT GUY IS REALLY SIMON LAH! cause he didnt use 'simon' in superband.. tt's why i didnt realise.. and i didnt scrutinize closely at all the superband photos that time also.. worst thing is.. simon is in 樱 (this band which i tot was really cool and they are quite popular and received pretty good feedback) and i didnt realised!!!!! (despite that i keep seeing the advertisements on TV).. 真的是cock eye.

well anyway simon is one of the guys i interviewed before.. he was one of the founders of this music school called music garage.. and the cool thing is.. he used to be my sis's jamming mate! woolala~ eh.he's really good looking. i cant stress enough on that. HAHA. but 好看当然没有什么用啦..重点是simon也是很talented的咯!



this was a photo taken last year when we visited music garage :)
simon is the one in white. (yes. the guy lah of course!) okay, he's supposedly my senior too.. heh heh.. FSV in NP.. but then due to some reasons (which is NP fault!! BOO) he didnt get his diploma lah.. 世界很小啊~~

i think many 小妹妹s will love simon and his band lor! from my guts feel. hahaha. i predict they will make it to at least top 8! ( btw,小龙是以前superband1 Jade的小龙..!! hmmmm~)

我的同事今天很可爱! =D

qingning out of the blue took out this mini sunflower from her bag... she went for the new drama press conf and they gave to her.. then she secretly took out this so called mirror (which is actually a postcard that reflects -.-'') she hid inside her table calendar and stuck the sunflower onto her head..

and then.. tada! a picture with my bigger fake sunflower which i stuck in on my table.. used for URTO sunshine theme that time.. then lazy to bring home..没有想到这样也能为我们带来乐趣!哈哈哈哈


sunflower with its owner.. plus fangda on the left! you see the difference of the big sunflower and the mini sunflower!! (EH!i look quite nice right! MUAHAHAA)

swap owner... HAHAHA my big sunflower looks a lil too big for qingning. HOHO. heh heh, but i still look nice with the small sunflower right! :D

tada! this is the photographer who helped us took the photos above! he was forced by me to take this photo. aiyah YH~ i know deep inside ur heart u wanted to take it right! HAHA. 但还不够阳光leh! muahahahah

loving my colleagues~ :D

oh.. and last thing i wanna post today before i go write my interim report (BOOOO!)...
my econ mini-mart! HAHAHA.
okay.. this is my drawer in office. as you can see for urself.. it's filled up with FOOOOD. :D i need food to keep my brain working. especially chocolates...! let see what i've got here..
hello panda.. which left 5 lil packets i think..
vitasoy.. super long already still havent drink!
instant noodles.. which comes in handy on a raining day or when i'm lazy to go get lunch..
milo!! my ever favourite drink..
carrot juice.. when i'm feeling a need to be healthy..
sugar.. for coffee and tea..
utensils.. no need explain lah hor..
chocolate.. my secret weapon to keep me high and churn out articles..
coffee.. this is my latest addition. haha. supervisor gave it to me and there's also supposedly for jiaxi but YH took it away. HAHAHAHA. my supervisor very cute lor.. she was giving it to me that day.. then got one extra.. so she passed it to me and say.. oh this one you give it to the jiaxi lor. i was like -.-''?!? super funny. but too bad YH took it away.. if not i really pass it to jiaxi and see what's his reactions like. HAHA. perhaps supervisor thinks he's not working hard enough so ask him drink more coffee to keep himself awake and practice more?? okay, that's just my own personal guess.. hahahahaha. Oh and there's a picture i'm super proud of. shall post it next time! :)

tata!

生命不是开玩笑的...

Was asking jiahao if ahdu's mum is affected by the sichuan 7.9-magnitude earthquake.. and his reply was

ahdu hasn't been talking the past few days

So i thought something bad must have happened. But blame me for trusting this idoit just like that lah! Ahdu's mum is not affected by the earthquake. HENG~ i really heave a big sigh of relieve! I was super worried okay.

It didn't struck upon me chengdu was affected too cause the silly me thought sichuan is just sichuan... but after i read the news i realised chengdu is like part of sichuan and i got worried. chongqing was affected too.. i hope zhangren's family is alright!

Everyday in newsroom i'll hear them update on the number of deaths. it was really a sad thing to hear the number increase every few hours and depressing to know that many kids were killed in this disaster. i was watching news today and there was a piece of news on a team of 100 rescuers rescuing this girl who was buried under the rubble for 40 hours..and today is her 20th birthday. The team of 100 rescuers managed to save her and dragged her out from the rubble and they even sang a birthday song to her! It was really a very touching scene... I salute all the rescue team members and people who voluntary help out on the location.

It's time like this that you see the whole nation come in together and play a part... and you really feel the strong sense of patriotism the china citizens have towards their country and their love for their fellow citizens. It's disheartening to see scene of dead bodies or the people breaking down uncontrollably in the news. It makes me feel sad too...

I hereby pray that all the relatives or friends of my friends and colleagues who are in sichuan are save and sound and not affected by it. Please let no more earthquake happen again. I hope my qingdao kids are still doing fine. I pray all my friends who are currently in China to be back save and sound.

Life is really vulnerable. U wont know what will happen the next second. Treasure life and everyone around you.

Peace.

心情好一些...平复了很多..哈哈..

糟糕! 我看我真的是要有精神分裂症了!OHNO!!!
没有啦.. 我还很正常.. no worries :)

i survived through work today despite the lack of sleep last night.
thanks to the torturous semester i'd gone thru, i've master the skills of keeping myself fresh and awake with the minimal hour of sleep. muahahaha.

i met heather today. luckily she reminded me about interim report. i totally forgot about that can! work is already busy enough.. (okay lah, this week still not that bad. no outdoor assignment i think :D ) and then you still have to think about reports and logs and spend time doing them. i dont know if it's good or bad, but i seriously dont have the feeling that i'm an intern.. work to me now is like it's a part of my life already and i really treat it seriously..
yea, though i'll still count down to the weeks left. HAHAHA. i guess heather is the only one who understands what i'm going through, just like i understand how she feels. heather, hang in there! we'll get through this together! :)

my colleagues have been really really nice to me. i'm super thankful and ever glad!!
ta-da! introducing the best colleagues you can ever ask for. let you take a peep of how a newsroom looks like!


on the left it's mr yeeheng. i tagged along with him on my 2nd day of attachment. he gives me the feeling of another chengyao but of course size wise they are really different! HAHAHA. but dont worry lah shake, u'll be the one and only special shake in my heart k. MUAHAHA. directly behind us, it's the studio where Chn U news are broadcast, isn't that COOL! :D

next comes ms durian-hater qingning! she's been really patient with me, teaching me and guiding me along day by day, constantly giving me encouragements. She will help me to come up with ideas for URTO coverage (THANKS FOR THE GUN! HOHO) and she always come to my rescue. i say until like she's some superwoman hor. hahaha.. she really is! we're all superwoman and superman. HAHAHA. but really thankful to have both of them as my direct colleagues.. cause i know some of my polymates met very evil colleagues who are so selfish and proud!

we will self amuse ourselves and do stupid things when we're SIAN (as depicted from the above photo). HAHA.
like this:



there are some other colleagues who are very nice and cute too.. wait till i discreetly snap some photos of them! hahahaha. eh but they are news reporter or broadcasters leh.. i dunno if they have copyright issue or what. muahahha.

---------
心情平复了..决定blog about URTO. 今天在剪片时,讨论了URTO不少... but firstly, stop asking me why icaru won leh...tell you the truth, i also dunno okay! hahaha. but it's obvious it's cause of audiences' votes! i hope it really is? hahahah.

anyway, both qingning and i thought gavriil did quite an awesome job singing kiss goodbye ytd. wanyu thought so too! yahlah, though his enunciation wasn't really good, but got the 'feel' leh, he captured the emotions very well.. he still say what he will scare the audiences by his singing, but i thought his vocal was quite good leh! dunno how many girls were smitten with his romantic singing lah. i personally like this song a lot too.. well, i sang this song during my ambassadors' interview lah! heh heh.

as usual lah, i received quite a few feedback saying the cake deco was... -.-'''. well, u get what i mean lah huh.. and some of these people who gave me the feedback do realise (yah! finally realised!) that jiaxi always ends up with funny talents that are not really suitable for the theme. so i'm not the only one who feels this way lah. but just to say something, have it ever cross your mind that whatever they perform is what they really wanted to perform? :D

anw, i felt that caleb improved. i was impressed by his electric guitar performance. 难得 i praise caleb one leh. HAHAHA. and i personally felt that as an audience i will like zhenhuan a lot! he was really confident and he shines among the rest that day. like finally! i think he deserves a chance to be in the finals, this guy here has got more things to be unleash!

icaru won. unexpected yet expected. ohman, my instincts were quite accurate this time round huh. i can really feel he didnt wanna emerge as the winner, cause it's like snatching away something that doesnt belong to you in the first place. but this is reality competition mah.. one should be extremely happy to have garner so many votes from the audience! :)

此刻的心情很复杂。还是很复杂。
真的是觉得我不能当记者啦..我想我会是一个很失败的记者吧...

i was telling wendy i just feel like hiding at home, be alone, and sleep like nobody business.
i'm super drained out of energy. i wanna hibernate!! haha. and wendy is right. i guess i have really been socialising too much and i need some personal time for myself. it's super late now, and it's very quiet except for the ticking sound of the clock in my room and the sound my keyboard produces when i type. i'm reflecting on all the things that had happened since i started my IAP while i'm typing this entry.

i realised i have really been missing out a lot of stuffs and i'm not feeling good about it. but i'm glad that i did attended freda's 21st birthday party! girl, i'll send you the photos and videos by like wed ok! :) i've missed out many outings with my friends due to attachment and i'm not liking it. it struck upon me that when we really enter our working life, will we end up with no friends at all? sigh. i will die then!!

there are two major things that i need to pick up fast desperately in my upcoming months of IAP. learning the art of rejection and becoming an emotionless person. WOO. emotionless. that's so not me. but what to do. this is what a reporter should be i guess? yea. sis said work is work, personal life is personal life...i understand that.. but wont i be a person with split personality already then?! sigh.

am not gonna talk much about URTO today... like i've said.. my feelings are very mixed. i somehow feel that there's like sadness in the air and the feeling is not good lah. and again, i feel for those who had performed well like zhenhuan but the outcome doesn't justify it. i'm not gonna let my emotions swarm over me anymore. so i should stop saying what i personally feel? i shall just keep them in my dreams. HAHA. to which, i really did dreamt of URTO. *shrugs!*

it's really late. i gotta work tmr. going to sleep now. hope tomorrow will be a better day :)

i'm composing quite a long post with many photos. :D
but i dont think i'll get that done by tomorrow. and you know tomorrow (or rather later!) is URTO... and yah! i'm here to blog about that first.

URTO last week's result came as a surprise to many people. well, i was abit shocked by it too.. but i thought shiqian's cheerleading was really good! got my school's magnum force's standard sia.. but of cuz magnum is better! HAHAHAHA. aiyah. cause magnum trained like dunno how many hours per week and shiqian only learnt that in like one week! so i thought she really deserved some applauses. the guys were quite funny at backstage and they did cheer up my day a lot :)

anw, today's theme is Mr Metrosexual.. it's the last theme competition for guys. i'm looking forward to gavriil's singing and i shall take note of 'how many audience run away' as according to him. but i dont think it will be that bad lah! mum predicts gavriil will win. instincts told me that too.. either yuan shuai (again! =X) or gavriil. but of course that's instincts and my instincts are not really accurate at all times. hahaha. i am STILL ever persistent on supporting jiaxi. muahahhaha. eh, cake deco not easy to do okay! ask your guy friends or brothers to learn that lah.. see if they can do it in few weeks' time a not. maybe this time round this weird talent will help him to win?? I HOPE SO!! time for heaven to open his eyes big big and give it to those who deserve it lah! flaunt your 'girly-ness' man, jiaxi! =D

it's gonna be an interesting show. just look at their talent performances. there's contestant challenging to sing gary cao's 《背叛》 , which is super difficult to sing! and then louis is performing beatboxing which is like super cool. and gavriil is singing Kiss Goodbye!! and of course, shall see what the standard of jiaxi's cake deco skills are up till!

remember to catch 《唯我独尊》 8pm Channel U Mondays!
Vote for M4江佳熹!

mark got into superband 2!
mark got into superband 2!

it really came in as a surprise for me cause the superband ad keeps showing and i've got colleague working on superband articles and i even look thru all 16 bands photos one by one, BUT i didnt realised... one of them.. is dear ahbeng keyboardist - MARK SHI!

so.. i was really shocked lah. furthermore, the band name's did caught my attention, but i never really scrutinize their photo and realise.. MARK IS IN IT! oh btw, the band is called MARCH 三月. call me slow. i'm really a slow-poke. :D

felt so happy for mark. really. i've always thought he would make it big somedays back then. those were the memorable days spent in ark. and this ahbeng keyboard never failed to entertain me and yc. we both were amazed by his skills. and he can also sing quite well too! always like his 《残废》... that's like mark's die-die must sing song. =)

wanted to dig out an old photo but like i've said, it's really old.. so i dunno where i placed it! argh! shall post when i find it.

wah. suddenly felt that i never see people never see 走眼 one. i predicted that sugi will make it big somedays too...想当年mark 和 sugi 是同一个挡的咯! and ta-da! now he's in 超级星光大道 and heard that he's got quite good remarks! :) and then now it's mark mr "dead fish-stupid." HAHAHA. 要是一天他们真的踏上了很大的舞台,我会为他们感到骄傲!因为毕竟是从个小舞台看他们的表演的啊...但就算这一天可能不会到来,我还是会以他们为荣,因为他们勇于追求自己的梦想!

加油啦 MARK and SUGI! :) 挺你们!

URTO

有人问我说:所以你觉得《唯我独尊》的东西最重要啦?
而似乎带有点谴责的语气。
我的一个反映就是:当然啦! 要不然leh?!

《唯我独尊》就像是我的孩子一样,一天一天的看着它成长。一次一次看到那些参赛者的进步,他们的改变。我是当然会花时间去把那些报道写得好一点,但这并不代表我没有放心细去写别的报道啊!

剪八个人的clips成一个video很简单吗?你来试试看你就知道了咯。而每次我把报道弄得比较好看一些,把video弄得好一些,这些都是我在下班时间后做的好吗!我每次在公司留到这么迟还不是为了这个,我有错吗?

真的是咽不下这口气。当初是说要我写多一点关于这个节目的东西,不只单单为新闻做...所以我不就想了要做preview和review咯。如果说你要我不要在做这么多东西,你就直接告诉我咯,免得我每次都要费尽脑汁想一些奇怪的东西,有还要麻烦人家向他们借东西。而你觉得是每个参赛者都很配合我做访问吗?

我会prioritize我的工作。我知道哪个要先做,哪个还可以on hold。不是说我只要做URTO的东西。

我不喜欢草率的做事,所以我的每一则报道都一定要有一定的standard我才会满意把它publish出来。如果要我随便做来提高效率,是不可能的一件事!

是啦,在你眼里URTO是一个crappy的节目。我承认当初我也这样想过。不过就算它有多crappy,只要是分配到给我去做,我一定会尽量把他弄得interesting一点。而慢慢的我已和这个节目结下了一种感情。节目还剩5集,我已经开始很舍不得了。虽然我不是他们的一份子,但是还是会很舍不得。

工作的其中一个动力就是URTO。每次都会很期待星期一。而最近,那些参赛者都让我的心情更漂亮,让我开心很多。他们有的真的是很很很搞笑!就如这个星期,他们有些人所说的话真实让我笑到要命。(不是negative 的 hor, 是真的很好笑)你们到新动网看咯。

当初会埋怨说为什么我这么suay中做这个节目。但每件事的发生一定是有它的原因,所以就任命了咯,认真去做他。可是久而久之,我发现自己其实很enjoy,因为不会觉得是在工作啦。我想我的星期一在6月15日后会很不一样了, 会暗淡下来,会少了欢笑。

撇开这一些,这是个on-going的节目。所以不可能要我一个月后才出它的稿吧!

所以你说《唯我独尊》重不重要呢? =)

HAAAAPPPPYYYY DAY!
cause i went back to school today!

it was ambs' RD interview today..went back for the whole day to interview people. sigh. i'm forever stuck at interviewing people! hahahaa. but that's not really a bad thing right. :D anw, i met quite a few interesting and fun-loving people. and.. there's this pair of twins who are so cheerful and bubbly! seems like i'm getting to know twins quite often now huh, after my encounter with my dearest ninja SLs - rasmus and rastus. i've always thought it's cool and fun to have a twin brother or sister. i wanted one, but well..... but i'm happy to have my sister lah.

it's so good to be back in school.. meeting up with people whom i haven't seen for so long! i seriously miss these people man! all my ambs and amelahhh! it's so good eating school's food too. i wanna go back to school lah! not that i dislike work lah... but just i miss campus life.. rushing for classes, slacking in atrium, seeing people i know all around the school... 3 more months to go man! and NP, i'll be back!

on a sadder tone, work hasnt been very smooth for me this week. i was really disappointed with myself for sunday's event. now come to think of it, i still feel disappointed with myself but i also realised, actually there were nothing much that i could do too. i'm a reporter, i'm not an event organiser!

and i realised one thing on sunday. i care too much about how people feel. is this good or bad? i dont know. i just know that in this line i can't be too emotional, i cant always have my expectations set so high up..sometimes i'll just have to let it go. but this isn't me. i feel for people around me, i always want to give in the very best for everything that comes to me, i care about people emotions, i am way too much a perfectionist at times.

today, i asked quite a number of my interviewees: what are your strengths and weaknesses? if i myself were to answer this, i guess both my strength and weakness will be.... i care too much for people and i'm too people-oriented. it's not a bad thing to be sensitive towards people's feelings right.. but it's a bad thing when it comes to making decisions and the emo part of me will start to work on me and i get very affected by thinking of how the person will feel about it.. then i get very soft hearted. HAI. someone tell me is this good or bad?!?!?!?!

and this is the best reason why i can't be a reporter! i am aware of how people feel and i wont want to be mean to them and ask mean questions and hurtful stuffs. i just can't bring myself to do that. and also like i'd said before, if the interviewee is super nice, i dont want to ask harsh questions. i will feel so bad lah. HAI. HOW?!

thank you adam kerr!!! :)
finally! i managed to borrow a scarf that is suitable. cause it's like totally black and adam says it's metrosexual enough. HAHA. i trust adam, he's got real good fashion sense lah.

today was another packed day as usual!
went to interview Jeff Chang and went to cover his autograph session. OHMAN, though he's an uncle, but i'm mesmerized by him! HAHAHA. he can really sing man! and super good attitude and a nice person to interview. that's the great difference between veteran and new comers! but cannot blame new comers also lah.. they need time to learn and adapt. i like his new songs leh, you guys should try to go listen.. it's very different from his other songs.. at first i heard one song, i still thought it's like kenji wu's song or like jaychou produce one. this album is really interesting! saw joleen and chelsea at the autograph session. heh heh. but i very 'gek!', i rushed out of the hill and i forgot to bring my album along lah. sigh.

went back to the hill,stayed to quite late as usual and finished 2 articles! HOOORAAAYY. efficient man. haha. and i've decided to separate the cchms article into 3 parts. that i shall do it tomorrow! wah, tmr got PRINCE cook pasta sia. i shall keep you guys updated about that. HAHAHAHA. okay, i dont really like the PRINCE cause it has been always stuck into my mind that he snatched away jones' award without any concrete reasons. hahaha. so i bear a grudge with him for that. aiyah, but who knows he may turn out to be nice?

dad and mum went to watch 'my best friend' adam cheng's concert. dad said it was very nice. hahaha not bad lah, at least my attachment i get to get free tics once a blue moon and i can give to my parents to enjoy if it's those old people concert. OPPS. :D

okay, last thing. i think i'm gonna fall sick soon! due to over-exhaustion. HAHAHA.

yay. leaders' interview in just one day's time!!

off day!

OFF DAY!
today is off day.
WOOHOO. and tmr is also off day too!
but that means my weekends will be spent on the hill. hai.
but okay lah. have assignments on both days already. i'm quite excited about the assignments lah but need to do 'homework' again lor.. and it also means to write 2 more articles.

honestly, i didnt like writing chinese article so much in the past.. i will procrastinate until i feel that already drag too long liao then i will start to work on it.. hahaha. okay lah. i admit i was lazy back then. HAHAHA. so now, if you actually realised, i blog a lot nowadays! :D

but thanks to attachment, i'm so used to writing now.. yes lah, i'm forced to write.. i mean that's my job what! and now i really can't stand the feeling of not finishing an article within few days.. i can't allow myself to drag an article.. just dont like the feeling of doing it halfway! i'm glad i can produce things in a limited time and whenever i'm asked to. :) but also because of attachment, my english is slowly deteriorating day by day. OHNO. but it doesn't mean that my mandarin is improving too. hahaha. language dilemma now!

i STILL haven't finish the Mr Kang Chengxi's and jiaxi's article! ARGHH. i'm almost done already lah actually..just now that's still some final stuffs to be done.. and because of this i'm going back to the hill tomorrow to finish it. drag almost 3 weeks already lor! BUT BUT.. i'm still going back to school tmr! YAY YAY YAY. finally lah! after so many times i say i wanna go back, i'm really going back! so long never see my cute ambs already. hahahaha. i missed RD lah. super sad cause it's my last year.. but what to do.. no choice! so yes. ngee ann, i'll be back tmr! :))

i'm bored today so i went to do some random search online to find out more about what people are discussing about URTO so i got more things to write. seriously i'm drained out of ideas already. it's not easy to think of some stupid ideas every week okay. and i seriously wonder if there are really people reading or i'm just wasting my time writing since they already have their official website which is not Xin.sg! i really dont understand why that since they have their own official website, they still want us to cover the whole competition and say we're official website. at least give some credits can..! sighhhhhhh.

i read quite a lot of stuffs and can sort of tell who's the more popular one.. so now i know who i shall focus more on.. hahahaha. and surprisingly, i also read about sth chengxi and i thought i'm super lagged behind already. so now i finally understand the whole story and get a fuller picture of it. WAHSEH. i super lagged lah. if not i could have done an interview on that. HAHAHA. so now i shall go to that forum every once awhile to get myself updated! media industry what.. must keep up with gossips.

anyway, the whole thing started because there's an 'insider' saying mr kang is pulling strings to get himself roles and that he goes around calling joanne peh senior when joanna peh is not even his direct senior. and this person even claimed that mr kang faked about his education part.

wah. i read already is really blood boil. if it's not because i've personally interviewed him twice, i wouldn't even bother about it. but the fact that i'd personal encounter with him, i really wanna say something.

i personally do not find anything wrong with calling people 'senior' though he/she may not be your direct senior. like i'd said in my earlier posts, the fact that you study in the same campus makes you have a certain connection with each other that it can't be explained through words. yes, even though the person may not be a celeb. it's like when i see other cchms ppl, i'll be like "eh, u're my senior!" or " u're my junior!" that kind of thing. there's a 'something' btw both of you lah.. though it's very difficult to explain the 'something' in words. you understand, you understand.. you dont understand, then nvm lah :) but i'm still proud to say that he's my senior. and jones is my senior too. and alison jie. (oh! i just saw her recently!! during work! haha) call that pull strings if you want. i dont see how i can pull strings with this! hurhurhur. so chengxi call joanna senior means that he can always act together in the shows with joanna? if that's the case i think chengxi you better call everyone seniors and juniors! that's just a way of 称呼la please. and i think it's a tradition for cchms people to call people seniors and juniors. we're used to doing that in cchms. we got manners please.

pulling strings? well, i will be so glad that he knows how to pull strings! this is the media industry. you have to have good PR to survive! 'insider' dont even know that, he/she can jolly go die and i wonder how did he/she survive to be an 'insider' on the hill! and yes, chengxi left me with a good first impression.. someone who is friendly and natural. if he can really act out that 'natural' and 'friendliness' right, on both occasions somemore, he wont received so much negative comments on his acting already lor.. cause if that's the case, he acted very well man! and what for he acted extremely nice to an intern who will never go back to the hill again? hahahaha. he doesn't have anything to gain.

做人难当啊! you're nice and friendly by nature, you will ganna people say you very fake and trying to pull strings. if you seldom talk and smile, people will say that you're arrogant. no doubt i dont know chengxi well, but one thing i hope and pray is that, 5 years down the road, i wont see any negative reports on him saying that he'd become an arrogant actor or something. that will really make me feel upset lah cause i've always trusted my own judgment.

and yes people, pull strings.. it really helps you in advancing ur career. this is reality. this is life. this is the cruel world. but of course you must have the capabilities also lah! if not one day you pull till no more strings to pull already, you'll really have a terrible death! :D

and lastly, i is still support Kang Chengxi and Kang Jiaxi. cause.. they really have got quite nice personality.
