Look ma I'm on TV!

25th May 2009 marks history in my life...

Finally my first TV appearance on RTM!! It's a 4 minutes slot featuring me as the host's sidekick.

All in all the experience was great! First time standing in front of a camera live and giving a presentation. Initially, I thought my nerves would tear me apart. As I've known, no matter how GOOD you are, if you can't control your nerves, you're totally screwed! Of course, there was an auto-queue where you can read your text (you can't be memorizing ALL of it right??). I guess I was focusing way too much on reading my queue right, I completely forgotten about my nervousness! In fact, it turned out to be a FUN experience. I actually kinda enjoyed it. Adrenaline rush? You betcha!

I was reminded of what some people had told me before: "If you are too nervous to read news on RADIO, what makes you think you'd be better on TV??" -- well let's hope and pray this opens up more doors so I can prove them otherwise!

Life is a climb, but the view is great!

P/S: My slot is somewhat during the 3rd or 4th minute into the show, and somewhere in the middle and the end. Best way to view the video is to wait for it to upload completely. Buffering might take some time. Therefore a good internet connection is needed.

Enjoy! :)

In Need Of A New Retrospection

My perpetual dilemma of facing frustrations and disappointments from chasing dreams.. Sigh. When will it stop?? I'm really tired already... However the Oracle has spoken today:

I need a new retrospection. I need to move forward. Move on. But I'm lost. I need guidance. Help!

Lemons

"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade."

So the saying goes. But why settle for making lemonade when there are so many more possibilities?

When life hands you lemons...

* Cut them in half and squeeze the stinging, citrus pulp into the eyes of those who would dare to mock, threaten or oppose you.

* Just as life hands them to you, quickly toss them back. Yell, "You touched 'em last!" Then run away.

* Make lemon meringue pie.

* Sell 'em lemons to Breeze, they can make lemon smelling detergent.

* Juggle.

* Bleach your face with homemade lemon mask.

* Make lemonade. Add vodka. Drink. Declare that "life ishn't scho bad after all."

* Throw them back and say, "I want apples! Gimme apples!"

* Lemon fight!

* Simply refuse to sign for them. Life's lemons can't be delivered without an authorized signature.

* Pretend to "accidentally" drop one of them. When life bends over to pick it up, give life a major wedgie. Run away (without the lemons, of course.)

* Share them. Sharing is caring.

* Accept them graciously, so as not to cause life to suspect you of anything. Then stick one in life's exhaust pipe while it's in the grocery store picking up more lemons.

But hey, what if life hands you TOMATOES??? Make Bloody Marys. Cheers!

Hunkalicious!

The Forer Effect

• You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself (yes I'm very critical indeed - I am my own worst enemy)
• While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them.
• You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage (I feel I have so much to offer so much I can give.. but I don't know how to channel them)
• Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside (I think too much sometimes, contrary to popular beliefs)
• At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing (A true Libran, "indecisive" is my middle name, depending on the situation.. once decided I can be rather stubborn at times)
• You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations (hell yeah.. I'll rot at my desk by doing a 9-5 job!)
• You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof (critical, analytical and skeptical, that's me!)
• But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others (only when it is safe to come out)
• At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved (can't agree more.. bi-polar personality maybe?)
  
• Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic (you mean like reading the news? yeah tell me about it!)

This quiz asks a few questions and generates a passage that describes you almost perfectly. It was first created by Dr. Forer in 1948 and has been used thousands of times since then. On average, it is accurate 4.2 out of 5 times!

My Theme Song: The Climb by Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it

That dream I'm dreaming but

There's a voice inside my head sayin,

You'll never reach it,

Every step I'm taking,

Every move I make feels

Lost with no direction

My faith is shaking but I

Got to keep trying

Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain

I'm always going to want to make it move

Always going to be an uphill battle,

Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,

Ain't about how fast I get there,

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's The Climb

The struggles I'm facing,

The chances I'm taking

Sometimes they knock me down but

No I'm not breaking

I mean I know it

But these are the moments that

I'm going to remember most yeah

Just got to keep going

And I, I got to be strong

Just keep pushing on...

There's always going to be another mountain

I'm always going to want to make it move

Always going to be an uphill battle,

Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,

Ain't about how fast I get there,

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb

Keep on moving

Keep climbing

Keep the faith baby

It's all about

It's all about

The climb

Keep the faith

Keep your faith...

Knew about the boutique for some time now. Finally had a chance to take a peek at what's in store (in Bangsar). Boy, it was love at first sight! Only I had the moolahs to splurge! The clothes are so colourful, chic and hip. So me! I love their dresses and cute unique outfits. Especially with lots of colour, psychedelic and the bohemian/retro chick look. And they are so affordable! Some of the cute stuffs that caught my eyes. My wish list (well sorta):

Cute and very Gossip Girl indeed. Dress at only RM49.90!

Sweet and sexy alluring dress! Very Hawaiian me likey much! It's so afforable.. Only RM32.90!

I so want this! Cute kitty cat top only RM32.90!

Oh their party dresses are to-die-for! Especially the satin dresses. Sexy but not skanky. Too many caught my eyes but I can't possibly post it here. I think I may have promoted the store a bit too much. Since I don't get any commision so I'll just stop here and view the rest at http://littleblackbookmy.blogspot.com/
