玩过 Guardian Angel 的游戏吗?

很喜欢洪俊扬的Guardian Angel,歌词很有画面感,很凄美!=)

是否记得初次相遇的情景
从气球纷飞的那刻起
我的爱已写满你的名

*是否记得守护天使的游戏
从我抽到你的卡片起
不再是一个人的回忆

或许未来有快乐也有艰辛
我会把你紧抱在怀里
永远不让你为爱哭泣

Chorus:

如果天空只剩最后一颗闪烁的星
我会让它为你照亮孤寂
让幸福为你指引

总有一天你会看到Guardian Angel降临
那是我的心一直在守护着你
爱是我们唯一的约定*

** x2

如果天空只剩最后一颗闪烁的星
我会让它为你照亮孤寂
让幸福为你指引

总有一天你会看到Guardian Angel降临
那是我的心一直在守护着你
天使它一定能够感应

Breaking free from the sotong curse?!

Filed under: Uncategorized — doraemin at 9:42 am on Friday, September 22, 2006

I MUST break free from the sotong curse!! Haiz after today, think everyone in office sees me as blur sotong liaoz…

Had been so tired this week. Perhaps too used to taking a break midweek but this week I happened to be off on weekends! hmm… Am I crazy? Anyone will prefer to be off on weekdays… ok… anyway… soo tired yest night that I concussed at 12++am… apparently i zz with glasses on & towel on my head! =p

Happily woke up @ 10+am and thot "wow! so early, maybe i can go swim or gym & read papers, watch tv b4 going to wk…" Stoning on my chair & going thru the list of stuff i can do for the day.. suddenly hp rang, call from office.. oh it’s TT asking y I’m not in office… "Huh? I’m not on night shift meh??" err… apparently when i took a closer look @ the timetable, I’m on midday shift! faint… 怎么办?怎么办?TT: 不用怎么办,你现在快点来!err… ok… totally woke up, dashed out and flag cab (as usual)!

Arrived in office @ 11++am, omg, ultimately late… Everyone is asking what happen to me? so blur… aiyo… next time i must really print out 2 copies of my timetable & sticked it on the fridge so mum can help remind me! haiz… then worse still, I forgot to bring hp to wk & later forgot to bring my file home! Aighs… what is happening? Perhaps I shld really try zz early to chase the sotong bug away! 不要再来烦我了!=(

AL said my VO still can’t make it, haiz… dun sound natural, like reading from script… as usual. She even had to resort to asking me to go out of newsroom & read! I guessed that’s her ultimate resort liao, still cannot! Aighs… I also cant understand y? How to imagine myself to be in that situation le… hmm… The others also find it weird.. cos when i filed live, they said I sounded ok! Then AL said my usual mistakes are not so obvious then. So what’s the problem? A few new colleagues already passed their VO but I’m still struggling. =(

Anyway, an ex-colleague popped by the newsroom today. She’s someone whom i really idolise cos she’s so nice, pleasant, capable & hardwking but she left… =( haiz.. she asked me how’s wk & I said "like my job but still struggling…" We decided to jiayou together despite all odds! Life is never a bed of roses anyway so just make the best out of it! I’m glad to be here depsite feeling helpless sometimes. Thinking back, I got alot of exposure, elections, ndp, imf…all these experienecs that I might not find in other jobs. What more do i ask for? Even if I’m not suitable, just hanged on till I had enuff fun or feel too tired to continue. Dun think it will be my lifelong career anyway, will die… Then I’ll move on to someplace that suits me better…

Humans are complex?!

我是个没有主见的人,从小就如此。

说得好听是随和,说得难听就是不知道自己要的是什么。

中学时,我有个外号叫“青菜嫂”,一半是因为自己不喜欢吃青菜,一半也是因为自己什么都”qing4cai4”(随便)。JC时,我是什么都“随便啦”的rabbit.我一直很习惯这样的自己。

踏入社会工作,发现什么都随便是不行的。

主编今天改稿又改到昏倒,问我原因,说不上来。追根究底,可能是自己无法清楚知道自己要的是什么,没有自己的立场,结果什么都想写,除了拖慢写稿的速度,也把整篇稿弄得很乱。主编说:做人一定要清楚知道自己要的是什么,工作也好,嫁人也好???突然很有感触,是呀,我真的是如此!

工作上,即使我很清楚自己是对的,可是一旦被质问,第一个反应往往是”Is that so? Ok I’ll check…” 记得有一次,书店的负责人突然打来,劈头就说我们哪里哪里处理不当,可是我记得事实好像不是这样的。当时我还是说”Ok I’ll check…”结果,原来是对方搞错了,他也没有道歉,真的是气死我!如果当时我立场坚定,请她先查清楚,就不会被她牵着鼻子走了,也能省下自己的时间。感情上也在“你决定”、“朋友说”中短暂的开始和结束。我究竟要的是什么?I am hopeless…

主编也说:什么东西,知道就说知道,不知道就不知道,不要好像知道… 这个缺点真的要改。

矛盾的是,我不是完全没有生活方向的。

念书时,我总是清楚知道自己想要念的科目,从不需要父母操心。即使JC时选择science stream,父母都不看好,我还是义无反顾。选择错误了,我也不会后悔。大学时,我就决定自己以后要从事媒体业,因此我选修了汉学,也在假期时争取到报馆实习。后来,即使隐约觉得媒体工作未必适合自己,还是在机会到来时,毅然决定放弃另一份大家都看好的job opportunity, 决定乘年轻加入自己向往已久的行业。决定了就不后悔。在家里,因为是长女,妈妈有时候也会在重要的事情上征询我的意见。即使弟弟找工作,我也会帮忙提意见。

我到底是不是个没有主见的人呢?又或是在大方向上有自己的主张,可是其他方面就习惯做个追随者。

人是复杂的动物,抑或是我是个复杂的人?好烦呀!

征服武吉知马山

Filed under: Uncategorized — doraemin at 10:51 am on Saturday, September 16, 2006

YEAH! 我征服了武吉知马山!=)

想想,我已经有超过10年没到过新加坡这仅有的一座山了!要不是要train up for my mt kinabalu trip,我才懒得来呢!也幸好,我向菇爷提议时,她一口就答应了!好onz哦!本来,今天一早起来(真的是很早!!!),我看天气阴阴的,还在想,可能不能去吧!于是msg菇爷后,又回到温暖的被窝里。谁知道,她竟然reply"the weather is quite fine", Diao!!! 本来想偷懒的我,只好乖乖起床准备,然后再搭“蓝顶”过去。

结果,菇爷反而迟到了,等了好一会儿,她才到。接着,我们就开始登山了!其实,有好几条paths可以选择,结果我们选了途经rock path, tiup tiup path & Rengas path的道路(是比较challenging的啦!因为我要train嘛!)。最恐怖的应该是rock path吧!We really have to use both hands & legs lor, then 后面有个外国人,可能是看我爬得很辛苦吧,一直鼓励我:“slowly, take your time…” Sooo paiseh!!! But知道有个experienced climber在后面,我也没那么怕了,因为至少发生什么事,还有人在后面接着我呀!=P

至于Rengas Path,就是 1 flight of stairs,好像爬楼梯一样,不过当然会比较困难。虽然也很累,不过因为心理负担没那么重,所以相比之下,rock path 还是比较可怕的!!!

爬完山,还约了以前的同事吃饭、庆祝生日,接着又到菇爷府上打麻将。好累啊!小小的bukit timah hill 已经这样了,看来我真的需要好好train up 才行…

zzzzzz……  (~.~)

The time is 2.55am…

现在是凌晨2点55分。我失败了… =(

回顾一周

Filed under: Uncategorized — doraemin at 2:35 am on Monday, September 4, 2006

其实,我应该在睡觉的。昨天只睡了不到4小时!天呀,不过也习惯了,每次大早班都是如此!今天,我决定了,要坚持到晚上才睡(hopefully!)。明天要值早上热线班呢!如果现在睡着,等一下晚上我又要开始数绵羊了…

让我回顾一下上星期的点点滴滴吧!上星期真的好像股市行情一样,起落参半。

27/08:我做了生平第一次fake live cross! 哈哈… 还记得,当时的心情是既紧张又期待的。当天本来准备平安度过的,谁知道傍晚5点半突然接到热线,某处传来爆炸声响,只好匆匆忙忙赶出去。主编说,了解情况后打电话回来,可能要file live! HUH??? 不会吧,我的语音训练还没有过关叻!救命!压力很大,好紧张!

去到那里,攀过一片很大很大、又杂草丛生的草地,好不容易来到事发现场,警方却什么都不说。没办法,只好又“爬”回去。天呀,下次值采访班还是不要穿高跟鞋的好!终于从附近居民的口中了解了一点状况,时间不多了,赶快去“抓”报警的保安人员吧!Ok 大概知道发生什么事了,赶快写稿。

才写到一半,主编打来:可以了吗?err… actually 不可以,不过我还是硬着头皮说:可以吧!开始说了一串话,主编说:不行,完全没有我在现场的feel… 于是,她尝试问了一个问题,我再开始…OK 比较好了!断断续续说了一串话,再经过主编的剪辑,终于我的处女fake live出街了!

7pm: 第一次听到自己的声音on air,感觉好奇怪哦!=p 接下来就忙着把资料整理成新闻稿,再通过电话VO,由主编剪辑,接着我拖着又累又饿的身躯到新达城会朋友。

朋友的反应是:两个版本的声音有差别。奇怪,我想了很久,至今还是不知道原因。同事的看法则是没有什么差别呀,一听就知道是我的声音。hmm… strange! ~.~

之后的几天过得相当充实。在艺人彩排的时候前去访问、电访了叶良俊、完成了两个步步。其实挺喜欢做步步的,可以慢慢来,不必匆匆忙忙就出一篇稿。可惜,这次做的不是很好,有点偏离主题了,好像在写娱乐新闻… =( hmm… 而且我还花了那么长的时间。

朋友说:我有时候很执著,而且往往是在不需要执著的时候。一篇稿,只要有时间,我就会在遣词造句方面细细雕琢,直到自己满意为止。结果未必有用,搞不好还被主编整段删掉!真的要改,虽然很难!

还有,访问的时候,我总喜欢问东问西,有时候根本只是为了满足自己的好奇心。结果,一整段访问也用不上几句,还得花好长的时间来剪辑,何苦呢?打手教我:或许我可以先向受访者了解情况,尽管问了之后,才针对性地把想用的部分录下来,这个办法不错!

有时候真的不该那么执著,完成工作才是最重要的,不是吗? I must be more efficient! Work smart!

另一个要命的缺点就是很容易分心!结果,teacher’s day 那天的rally speech 就差点赶不出来,而且处理得很糟,被主编骂得好惨!Haiz… Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate! 好多缺点要改哦!好多地方需要进步!好累!

天呀!我写blog都可以写那么久,真的是赢了!不过,我还没睡着,太好了!I must zz before 12am today!!!
