06.jan.10WAS AWESOMEEEE.it started out kinda bad.. but ended up GREAT :D *thumbs up*
so i thought i'm supposed to bid for minor modules today (srsly, CORS can be a little more explicit.) and i woke up at 10am!! okay, sorry mum, i was blaming her how come she didn't wake me up earlier! ended up, today's round is for restricted minors. made me panic for nothing. ARGH. i really really don't like the bidding system!
supposed to meet melinda to borrow vcam from her.. but firstly, i woke up late cannot make it in time to meet her.. furthermore, won't be able to return her by today.. so in the end.. just gotta make do w/o the video cam! =/ thank you for helping thou, mel!! :D
supposed to meet elaine and wendy at 11am.. ended up we met at 1pm. heh. well!! but things got better after i stepped out of my house! :D
bumped into my cchms cdc cute little junior! my xiaodi! haha. wah. time really files. i actually thought he's like waiting for uni now. haha. can't rmb that when i was in sec 4, he's sec one! one mature but cute little boy. haha! the super short catch up on the escalator ride made me damn happy. haha. you know how it feels to like bump into an old friend unexpectedly and all those happy memories start flooding back. (: & there's no awkwardness at all despite not seeing each other for i think more than 2 years already! haha! shall meet up with him soon! :D :D
then it was shopping at 313. i can spend the whole day shopping there! kinda unexpected that i'll have the mood to shop.. cause i don't really like shopping.. i'll just shop when necessary. haha. i'm lazy i know. plus somemore after that i've got an important assignment... so is totally mood gone half already. but shopping with the girls was fun! :D :D i wished i could have more time to shopppp. baaaah. shop tgt again soooon yea, my dearest girls? :D
then then then... we went down for my important assignment. i was really kinda nervous and worried, and honestly not very prepared. (thanks to chingay. =/) as the time got closer and closer, i'm abit scared actually. what if.. everything doesn't turn out well? what if.. i screw it up? what if... all the "what-ifs" that i can think of started filling up my mind.
but luckily enough, before i could freak myself out more, a voice inside me (okay, now i really believe there's something like this! haha) told me to "just do it. you can do it." thank god for this voice that appeared out of nowhere. haha.
& i recalled something wenqi told me yesterday about wanting to "faster get it over and done with" and "omg yes we did it.WE DID IT." that helped alot for me to calm down. haha. i think she really made great sense. there's a difference. huge one! and i'm glad that after i left that place, i'm feeling "OMG. I DID IT". thank you wenqi (:
it has been a long time since i interviewed people. my last proper interview was with the hongkong artiste 黎姿..and that was.. aug 2008! so abit rusty.. worried that i can't do a good job. worried that i've lost that sense of professionalism.
and to make matter worst, this is someone that i know, and i've interviewed before (long long long long long time ago! haha).. so i do have certain expectations for myself.. and to be honest, i don't really like to interview people i know personally.. cause you'll tend to think, okay, based on my understanding of this person, he might give this this this as the answer.. or won't really give an answer for this question.. it's like you can kinda predict what the reply will be like..
it's good and bad i would say. cause if you predict correctly, means the scripting part will be much more easier since normally when journalists think of questions, they'll kinda of have an idea how they want the story to flow. but it's also because of this, you tend to stop yourself from being creative to think of other questions or to think from another angle.
journalist's life aint that easy. glamourous as it may seem to be, behind the glamour is all the hard work and brain-racking sessions. of course, they're pro journalists around that doesn't really need much preparation for interviews.. i guess this will have to come with years of experiences. i'm definitely not there yet.
i'm glad to say that my rustiness was quickly being polished up. :D (okay, my first question's phrasing was like crap i know. till the extend that i got "your question is abit weird" as a reply. hahaah.) but i wasn't reading from my prepared list! i'm proud of myself for that. :D :D i'm actually quite surprised that i managed not to look at my prepared sheet of questions like all the while. i only looked at it thrice throughout the 30 mins. it's a new record for me man. wooo :D the very first interview we had, i was constantly looking at the paper to ask question (& ticking them off one by one after asking. okay i know it's kinda dumb now. haha) and scribbling things. while he was playing with a pen at the same time while answering; this time round, i seldom looked at the paper and i didn't scribble anything down; (videoing is goood. woo. ) and he doesn't have anything to play with. haha. so i guess.. we've both "improved"? :D
it's not easy for me to do it professionally... it's just.. too weird! haha. but i hope i've done it professionally enough. and after such a long time, he's still him.. answers not very whoaing but in dept & nice enough to use, but once in a while, he'll blurt out super interesting lines. i like! haha. can feel that he's not that shy & reserved as compared to before; opens up quite quickly now. 4 years can really change someone! hahaha. and i hope i didn't sound as retarded as i was before.
okay, i shouldn't like cont.. haha cause i really have alot to reflect on and write. and i'm feeling sleepy already. anw, all in all, the interview was successful i would say! :D thank you wendy & elaine for helping! & i hope you girls finally understand why your friend here super support him. elanie, your that msg really made me happy. haha. cause i always tell people, you have to hear him sing live.. then you''ll understand why! :D i'm really happy for him. 4 years ago, his voice touched me; 4 years later, the same voice still made me feel touched. more touched even. i realised it has been quite long since i've hear him sing live. somemore, this is like really live live, without a mic. hahaha it's an unexplainable kinda of feeling.. and i've never expect myself to be so "attached" to a voice. hahahaha. you'll make it big, yes you will (: (: (:
okaay! so.. i was running late to report to work. but i was so so so lucky that i caught the bus in time and wasn't late! :D see, today lucky day! :D slingers' match today! i've been anticipating for this day since last week. haha! kinda long nv see them play already. after i'm done with changing, winnie said she's something for me.. and she passed me a poster.. guess what!!! it's my beloved ahteng's autographed love moments poster! GOSH. you should have seen my reactions then. i bet everyone in the usher room is like thinking this girl is crazy! hahaaha. i was damn damn damn surprised and happpppy la! jam leh! OMG CAN! :D and then.. winnie also gave me this i think it's limited edition de lightstick kinda thing. WAH. SUPER HAPPY TO THE MAX! :D thank you winnie & phyllis! :D :D :D :D :D while u two are having a great time, you both still though about me when you all see jam's stuffs. hahaah. gan dong! :D
so you know why i say today is an awesome day. i saw one J and "saw" another J today. both that i started supporting after an interview. hahahaah. what's with the Js man. haha. but i dont really like JJ lin leh. hahaha.
okay. really blacking out soon already. i'll make this quick! so yea.. slinger's match!! OMG THEY WON! :D :D :D :D :D after a tough match! the filipinos are real rough man. big and tall somemore. like gaints. other than 2 slingers who are about the same size as the majority of the patriots (i can't really rmb how is it spelt), the rest are like drawfs lah. really. but slingers fought damn hard. can really tell. i really like the way they strategised and their team spirit and most importantly their determination! and one thing i felt they've done great this game was their mental battle. filipinos lost partly of the lack of control for emotions and calmness. they are like so gan jiong! from lagging behind by 12 points in the 1 quarter, to tying in the 2nd quarter and 3rd quarter, then finally winning by 8 points, slingers have already fought damn hard. it was the most exciting match i've ever watched since ABL days. awesome job! :D esp kyles, michael leblanc, michael wong, marcus ng and vergara. michael wong's 3 pointer was like damn nice! awesomeeeee. (: vergara, though small size, but swift and steady! ohyah! and steven khoo played well today i felt.
after the match ended, i heard from one of the media people that the patriots are like the best team in philippines. and we've actually won them not once, but twice! this shows how slingers are able to perform if they want to! they're talking about michael wong's 3 pointer also, and the many slamdunks that the other michael did. it was kinda an unexpected win i would say. cause from the beginning it's quite obvious that the filipinos are damn good. their shots are almost 100% accurate! it comes to show that no matter how skillful you can be, but once you lost your emotions (and perhaps luck also), you might not win the game. the ball is round. cliche, but true. hahaaha. michael wong is the captain for one good reason. he controls his emotions well and constantly encourages his teammates. good mental mindset. i've been observing this for the passed few games already. hahaha. slingers yay! :D
okay. i'm off to bed. it's been a tiring day. but yes, i'm :D to sleep. lol.
