Yeah! I won consolation prize for Best Live Reporter for Auguest! It was for the NDP live which I got the Marina Foodloft patrons to shout "Happy Birthday Singapore" together with me. Finally there’s some recognition and something to be happy abt after so many "downs" in wk!

Comments by the judges:

Lively Q & A session with one of the patrons. Good way of ending the report with crowd shouting Happy Birthday. Quality of voice over can be improved.

I must admit I gabra quite a bit in the live report with an "ok" and alot of "那"s. Really admire AL who can file live reports so steadily! Her excellent command of the Chinese Language is something I gotta learn. But it’s really not easy!

Boss nominated me for Bravo Award too! Got a token of $20 =) She said it’s for my effort in improving live reports and vo skills. Hmm… 受之有愧。My VO skills still cannot make it… KP was coaching me on the correct pronunciation of 恶 and 锇, which I cldnt get it at all… The famous “四是四,十是十” also left my tongue twisted.

I must buck up!!!

20 hrs of work…

动物园一日游

Filed under: Dorae Diary — doraemin at 3:49 am on Tuesday, September 25, 2007

你多久没有去动物园了呢?

最后一次去是什么时候?小学?中学?高中?

其实,去年的儿童节,我还到动物园采访哦!可是因为工作关系,并没有机会好好逛。9月21号,一早就和两位中学好友ZH和JH(这次真的是你啦!=)约好到动物园一游!她们可是特地请假的,而我呢,刚好休假。我们很onz bah!=)

ZH约了我8.50am在MRT会合,结果as expected我起不来!值晚班惯了,早起对我而言真的太难了!结果还要ZH打电话来才把我叫醒。哎呀!还好聪明的她已经知道我的pattern,所以还没出门!她也已经料到我会迟到,所以会合时间也早了半小时,确保不会miss the 10.30am show! SORRY!!!

结果,我们看了很多animal shows, eg. splash safari show (saw performaces by penguins *ahhh*, sealions etc), elephants & polarbear feeding, etc. There’s also an Australian Outback corner where I saw & touched kangeroos!!!! *ahhhh…. I dinno we have them in Spore!!!* There’s even a tap for us to wash our hands after that! And dear INUKA-the polarbear born in Singapore! Din see his mum thou… Is she still ard? Din see A-meng also… Anyway, we saw maned wolf *I think wolves are very attractive*, white tigers, flying fox *wah! I screamed when 1 of them suddenly fly twds me!*, otter *cute*, squirrels *SO CUTEEEE* etc…

Also went to the fragile forest which I wasn’t too fascinated! Cos it’s spedly filled with butterflies… luckily there werent alot… Also saw kissing cockroaches! *YUCKS* Just 1 glimpse and I wanna faint liaoz, so gross! Imagine 1 of them escape… OMG! 

Took lotsa photos as expected (not of the cockroaches, reptiles & insects of cos)but it’s so difficult! They are moving constantly! I regretted not bringing my heavy-but-shutter-speed-very-fast digicam! Now I know why people find thrill in photography of birds cos it’s really not easy!!

Anyway it was a long walk and I actually wore high heels! What a wrong move! My legs nearly broke! Had dinner @ Forest Fare & large coke @ KFC… The weather was super hot! Suspected that I suffered heatstroke cos got a headache after this…

Left the zoo after visiting animal land with sheeps (not as white as those I saw in Australia), horses etc @ ard 6pm. It had been a fulfilling day! I think our Singapore Zoo is quite well-managed actually, with cute info cards to educate us on the animals, interesting shows and engaging games. 1 full day is not really enuff! For those who just go movies, ktvs, shopping etc and complain Spore is too boring, perhaps a visit to the zoo or birdpark might be fun. Little India and Arab street, perhaps I shld go there someday! =)

Proceed to meet JC frens after that. It’s quite nice to meet up with them after so long… Used to be rather shy in JC & never interact much esp with the guys. After graduation, I’ve become more sociable & talkative. But still shy by nature lar… =p Some of them are really quite funny and crappy just like before and this made the gathering very amusing, haha… Had dinner @ Fish & Co and proceeded for drinks @ Conrad before taking the night rider back home.

Just realise I started writing in Chinese and switched to English halfway thru… diao… pardon me! =p

15 Sep 2007 (Sat)

一大清早就要到West Coast Recreation Centre报到(actually is 10am la but I wked till very early this morning le =()。有点后悔报名参加公司主办的攀墙活动,不过又不能不去。结果,我当然是搭蓝顶到目的地!尽管如此,还是迟到了半小时!=( 

我是第一次攀墙。看别人行动,好像还可以嘛!不过,自己上阵时就另当别论了。第一次尝试,爬(literally)到一半我就投降了,心跳加速,感觉很可怕!“救命呀!”(只差没有喊出口)频频往下看,没办法,最后只好举白旗投降。“放我下来吧!”我叫。But then, I need to defend myself: Actually the wall I attempted is inclined twds me, i.e. I’m climbing agst gravity, so it’s actually quite difficult lor! Plus the spacing between the "grabs" are quite wide for a beginner like me! I tried again under the instructor’s guidance but still cannot. So… I decided to take a break.

休息期间,发现了一座比较容易攀的墙!连小妹妹都成功叻!我顿时信心大增!This wall is spedly the easiest for climbing lor, so if still cannot, I can bang my head agst the wall liaoz! 我硬着头皮告诉自己,今天至少要有一座墙是挑战成功的!!攀爬途中不是完全顺利,因为还是怕,不过连小妹妹都成功,我怎么可以太丢脸呢?!加油加油!终于,我成功啦!摆个胜利手势拍照后,instructor叫我完全放开手,由队友把我拉下来。结果,我死都不敢放手!err… abit 丢脸,可是真的太恐怖了啦!最后慢慢拉绳子,相当狼狈地着地。我终于成功攀上一面墙了!太好了!OK I’ve decided that it’s enuff experience to last a lifetime! =p

回到家后真的好累!双手酸痛(痛了至少两天!),全身无力。

晚上还有歌谣聚会,要庆祝G的生日。到Bugis吃火锅,结果寿星公G还帮我们一群女生拔虾壳哦!第一次吃虾吃得那么幸福。=)吃完晚餐,我们一伙人突发奇想,竟然回到NUS LT3重温过去在那里练歌的美好回忆。幸好有两部车子,所以我们说走就走,转眼就到了熟悉的校园。本来还打算买灯笼庆中秋的,可惜沿途找不到灯笼,只好作罢。正为蛋糕插上蜡烛,结果发现,我们竟然忘了买打火机!天呀!星期六的深夜(已经凌晨12点了),校园哪里还有人借打火机?开车出去买嘛,又好象太麻烦了。僵持不下之际,我和Y决定到study room碰碰运气。哇!真的蛮搞笑的!三更半夜,两个女生跑到study room 敲门,再一个个问里面的人有没有打火机。结果还是扑了个空。So we derived @ a conclusion: 在study room 念书的都是不抽烟的乖宝宝。=)

回到LT3外,一部分的人已经开车去买打火机了。折腾了一番,我们终于可以唱生日歌,吹蜡烛,送礼物了,再由G和A分别送大家回家了。Happening的一天终于结束。

重回校园,感觉很不错,我们还在熟悉的厕所中温习以前表演的歌曲“打扫”(其实那间厕所有点eerie =/)。Those were the days…好怀念哦!

16 Sep 2007 (Sun)

约了ALoo吃饭,顺便送上生日礼物。听他诉说西藏行的种种,突然很想去西藏。不过想到高山反应还是让我心里怕怕的!

17 Sep 2007 (Mon)

心情糟透的一天。=(

一早接到DJ通知,知道有听众听了homektv的步步,有意购买系统,我是蛮开心的。因为节目得到听众的回响。

刚好今天国会复会,而我是负责公积金这块重点讨论项目,于是先准备了一篇稿就到公司报到,心想要在国会开始前先把所有的稿生出来。

可惜,到了公司,AE说当天播出的步步(homektv)好像在帮商家打广告,差点还要抽掉新闻的部分,而且教我下次要小心处理。或许做的时候用心,也尽量避免不要帮商家打广告,可是出来效果不好,难免沮丧。尤其当新闻稿差点被抽掉时,真的很不好受。吃完饭后闷闷地准备待会儿的国会,结果老板又过来提醒homektv的事情。那一刻,我真的是很sian,心里着急即将开始的国会,又郁闷于步步效果的不理想。

国会开始,CPF的部分搞到我头大,本以为每个小时出一篇稿应该万无一失,结果主编突然说第二部分(最重要的部分)要先出!我真得快疯了!最后还是赶出一篇稿给5点。编辑说:“如果赶不出要开口”、“知道做不完就早点来”,其实他们真的没有恶意,可是我听了却很委屈。(只差没飙泪吧)或许我拿捏得不够好吧,真的不知道第二部分要先出。当时的想法是最重要的部分6点出应该Ok呀!我并不知道赶不出来,又如何开口?我还特地在家里完成一篇稿才进公司耶,可是到了公司就被询问有关homektv的东西,哪有时间准备国会?我好累呀!=’(

18 Sep 2007 (Tue)

采访一宗火患新闻,因为发生在即将进行enbloc的私人公寓,结果到了公寓保安处,就碰了钉子。保安人员什么都不说,也不让我入内采访。没办法,只好站在外头,等候进出的居民,希望可以提供一些线索。跑到后门处,继续询问过路居民,幸好碰到一位好心auntie,竟然答应smuggle me into the condo! 于是我战战兢兢(大厦内装有不少闭路电视)地搭电梯到事发单位,再展开采访工作,整个过程相当刺激,随时有被人用扫把赶走的危险。幸好一位好心的uncle提供了一些新闻,虽然他不愿受访,还是帮了我不少。

19 Sept 2007 (星期三)

休息是为了走更长远的路。

9 Sep 2007(Sun)

为了专业家庭卡拉OK的步步题材,我特地在休假这天到受访者家里采访。哇!真的让我大开眼界!门外是精致的雕塑,大门打开,仿佛步入豪华酒店的大厅,里头还有电梯哦!不可思议吧!

每个房间都好大,屋内有泳池、麻将室、电玩室(那种可以打virtual squash etc的games room)、KTV室(可以随意点唱市场上最新的歌曲,而且是touch-screen!!)…我就好像刘姥姥进大观园一样,啧啧称奇!有钱人的世界就是不同。

整个访问过程相当愉快,听着夫妇、父女、祖孙的合唱,感觉很温馨,我想,这远远比有钱来的重要吧!我也和女儿合唱了一首“五月天”噢!工作不忘娱乐。=p 那位女儿完全没有千金大小姐的气焰,却非常有教养。采访完毕,她不但开车送我到大路旁等德士,还帮我开车门哦!*佩服佩服* 这个年代还有谁帮谁开车门的吗? =p

10 Sep 2007(Mon)

我终于看了期待已久的电影“不能说的秘密”!电影桥段不十分新颖,不过宣传手法不错,会让人忍不住想知道何谓“不能说的秘密”。加上钢琴的诱惑(片中男女主角都是钢琴好手),而我一直都对钢琴有不结情缘,让我忍不住想到电影院看这部电影。

男女主角之间的交流很sweet,台词不多,一切尽在不言中。可惜存在于不同时空,不过他们最后好像在一起叻。至少我是那么认为。=)

电影中途,男主角的朋友说:“从头到尾,只有你一个人在跳舞”,我差点以为“不能说的秘密”是“女主角是鬼”,吓了我一大跳!太那个了吧!有欺骗观众的感觉,而且当天刚好是7月的最后一天!*DIAO*幸好不是!:p

这也是我第一次主动约男生看电影哦!(感觉有点怪,因为很少主动约人外出,特别是男生=)其实是机缘巧合。因为电影快下画了,又找不到朋友陪我,只好post在msn找人,结果只有JH reply。虽然很久不见了,不过每次都会被他逗得哭笑不得。谢谢JH陪我看了这部电影,可是你可不可以不要一直骗我和吓我hur!! >:(

11 Sep 2007(Tue)

很忙碌的一天,公共交通理事会宣布:从下个月起,调高巴士车资。

差点被迫在两分钟内发现场报道,后来当然是办不到。AE说:不要把她的话当圣旨,如果情况不允许就要说出来,不要傻傻点头。

12 Sep 2007(Wed)

Be姐从上海回来,我们约好同小熊猫、小猴子和小飞象一起吃饭。结果印尼大地震导致我国全岛各地出现震动,新闻室内电话接到手软,感觉很刺激。帮忙访了听众,做些有的没的,结果搞到很迟才下班。同Be姐聊起新闻工作的无奈,再次提醒自己,不要在追新闻的过程中忘了自己的原则。

14 Sep 2007(Fri)

忙碌的一天,早上到MOM briefing,之后回来赶步步追踪(就是那个专业家庭卡ok)。结果忙到凌晨12点多,又忘了请同事打包晚餐,饿着肚子赶工的感觉很糟!=’(

《哎哟!考试真是害人不浅》
词: Doraemin

又到了考试的季节
生理时钟又开始改变
公鸡啼叫的非常时间
我才刚上床准备入眠

又到了考试的季节
我又开始与世隔绝
关上门窗积极苦练
只怪蟑螂飞虫太过猖獗

Chorus:

哎哟!考试真是害人不浅
没有考试日子还真悠闲
每天ICQ到凌晨6点
也没有丝毫的愧疚感觉

哎哟!考试真是害人不浅
不想做zombie却没有时间
看来在考试over以前
还要待在这个非人的世界

《爱哭的沙滩》
词:Doraemin

你离去的那天
脸上毫无眷恋
你说不要让人看扁
要寻找自己的蓝天

我沉默无言
悄悄跑到海边
我俩熟悉的沙滩
想找回一些过去的画面

Bridge:

洁白的沙 清凉的风 这片沙滩开始掉眼泪
蔚蓝的天 深绿的海 也陪着它心碎

Chorus:

这片沙滩如此爱哭
无情地淹没你我的脚步
前面漫长的道路
没有你我看不到幸福

这片沙滩那么爱哭
就连我也感染它的孤独
最后自己也分不清楚
究竟是沙滩在哭
还是自己泪眼模糊

《童话》

词曲:Doraemin

轻抚着我的脸
你说会爱我到永远
所有美丽的誓言
如今再也听不见(如今也成了谎言)

你走得那么绝
不容许我有一丝埋怨
王子公主的画面
从此不会再浮现(永远不会再重演)

Chorus:

你说 天长地久只是个童话
笑我那么天真轻易相信它
曾经拥有就够了嘛
何必想得那么复杂

你说 地老天荒只是个神话
爱情到了终点要学会潇洒
分手以后还是朋友吧
谁对谁错再去计较太傻

分手以后还是朋友吧
放开胸怀接受另一个她

唯一发表过的作品“早逝”

Filed under: Doraemin Lyrics — doraemin at 12:23 pm on Sunday, September 2, 2007

灵感来自一位英年早逝的朋友。发表时由我和一位朋友合唱(因为实在没有勇气独唱)。

《早逝》

词:Doraemin /曲:Donut Gor

整个世界虽平静安宁

却存在着太多太多不平

生命如此脆弱无影

叫人看了不忍心

给了生命又让它凋零

上天是否如此残酷无情

看着多少无辜生命

慢慢慢慢地逝去

Chorus:

花花世界还没看够

为何生命就到了尽头

我是真的猜不透

这尘世还有多少人在为生命战斗

天天只有默默忍受

却禁不住就泪流双眸

当生命走到最后再蓦然回首

这世上是否仍有着无限不公平和哀愁

天冷就回来

Filed under: Musical — doraemin at 12:10 pm on Sunday, September 2, 2007

观看了集合梁文福老师多首作品的音乐舞台剧“天冷就回来”,唤起许多昔日回忆。

不能说被音乐剧感动,只能说熟悉的歌曲最动人。或许这是年纪大的征兆!=p

男主角“阿乐”(田伟鸿饰)唱的《写一首歌给你》,简单的歌曲却依然动听,身经百战的结果总是不一样。可惜,不是所有演员都唱得那么好。当演唱者无法带出歌曲的味道时,音乐剧又怎会感动人呢?这是相当可惜的。=(

不过,能够重温多首耳熟能详的新谣歌曲:细水长流、一步一步来、如果你不小心想起我、恋之憩、久久才见到你的好、让夜轻轻落下、从你回眸那天开始、水的话、说时依旧、你的倒影等;当然也有新曲:担心、喜欢你、天冷就回来、戒情人等,虽然有时串场时觉得有点牵强,不过,散场后,这些歌曲还是萦绕脑海中。

尤其是《久久才见到你的好》这首歌,真是超好听的!顺便打一下歌:

久久才见到 你真的对我好

多想回到你身边 将你的泪擦掉

久久才见到 你真的对我好

正想回到你身边 你却在他怀抱

Chorus:

我的心慢慢坠慢慢坠 它已经已经很疲累

我的梦慢慢碎慢慢碎 它已经不能再后悔

哦我的爱慢慢退慢慢退 我的天这种滋味

如果爱是朵玫瑰 我的已枯萎

等春天再来也寻不回

如果爱是朵玫瑰 你能否为我

当春天再来再开一回

很佩服梁老师的才华和对新谣的坚持。生活化的歌词让人联想到现实,美丽的诗篇又谱成动人的情歌。害我又有重新创作的冲动!(but then I always had this 冲动 =p)

翻出大学时期创作的歌词,虽然素质不怎么样,不过还是希望刊在部落格上,请大家今后多多指教。说不定真的能激励我哦!=)
