This was on the ST today.
The search for the Next Chengdu Pambassador,
It's all over freakin Facebook with people liking the page a hundred times over. But it was a really fun story to cover. Eye-OPENER.
Fellow project mate Nikki, who pitched the idea. So glad she did!
TEEHEE!
Shy panda.
It was funny seeing the children attacking the panda and slapping its ass and all LOL LOL.
But we'd already seen who's underneath the costume and fake fur, so like the magic is gone.
And....
Here comes,
INTERNATIONAL CELEB, Juliet Simms from Season 2 of The Voice!
She was there to officiate the event haha.
It's damn cool to watch the media doing their thing and photographers shouting stuff like, "Yeah, give us more of that!" when she flashed the candid pose above. It's what I see on tv. So I thought it was so exciting to see them do this in front of me tahahaha.
Getting interviewed.
I honestly thought I'd get a chance to have a one-on-one interview with her hahahahahaha. And I think we were damn lucky coz we chose to come on down on the right day coz Sunday was supposed to be the day she and the contestants would come (according to their website). But wow, lucky us, they HAPPENED to change their schedule of events to Saturday and we got to film all of this down! So awezum!!!!
Her entering the maze. Objective: To find her way out in the fastest time possible.
And then, her running out.
Victorious.
GET A LOAD OF THE MEDIA.
They're like LEGIT Media companies. So freakin cool. I was really damn excited and shitz. There was a Taiwanese Media company as well, don't know the name tho.
So the whole thing was really quite fascinating, I totally only expected to film normal members of public, and here she is with the contestants. Lucky us////
This job is really quite exhilarating. Imagine seeing all these people and the crowd.
But above all, I made a friend. Hahah.
For someone whom I hadn't met ever, she was really one of the nicest, most conversational stranger I've ever met. Possibly coz she's a comms student as well trahahha. Only she studied in a private institution and is 3 years older. Talked about school, exchange, internship, her experiences. Really quite interesting.
I always find it intriguing to meet people like her whom I've only met briefly but sustained a very nice conversation. Ok, I tried to put it down in words, but I can't seem to put a finger to how I'm gonna explain this... Anyway, I really enjoy talking to people anytime anywhere but sad knowing that our conversation would only last in that short brief moment in time. And it's these conversations that will add to your depth of knowledge and experiences through life. URGH I feel like an inarticulate baboon but I can't really seem to explain what I want to convey. BUT YEAH I HOPE YOU KINDA GET WHAT I MEAN. ; )
Later on that day, headed down to Republic Poly to watch WKWSCI's very own adaptation of Andrew Bovell's 'Speaking in Tongues'. Familiar Strangers, Paparazzi 2012.
I thought the cast fit their roles perfectly. Like knowing what the actors' personalities are like, I thought they did a good job at casting. I wouldn't say I'm great at judging what's good acting, but to me, it was pretty good. All those practice must've done'em well.
I teared at one part of the play coz I could really understand the pain the character was going through? You must be thinking, "Knn, this bitch trying to act artsey all. Stupid girl, go back to your coffeeshop". HAAHAHA. But really, two thumbs up to Tammie. I thought she did well. So hard to make me feel these emotions coz I always think theatrics can be a bit dramatic. There's a tendency to be overly-dramatic while acting. Sometimes... the most subtle of movements bring forth a character's personality best. Everyone has their little quirks, so it's really the subtle things that work.
Acting is tough. Having done it before in Jc, it's so important to let your guard down and be less self-conscious with your surroundings. Takes a great amount of focus and self-confidence to pull it off. Coz, you know everyone's watching you and you're acting as someone you're not, and you don't want people to be scrutinising the way you do or say things. You really need to get comfortable.
So ANYWAY, a few pictures from my camera.
HEHEHE HILARY YOU'RE ON MA BLOG Hahahahha. Crazy girl was excited just coz of that!
Dayum, look at her nicely shaped eyebrows, compared to my messy unplucked virgin eyebrows lololol. I sux.
Amazing how fast I transformed from roving reporter to civilian huh.
Bunch of weirdos.
...
Tho I have to admit I'm friends with them.
(a few of) my Sioux freshiezzzz.
So nice of them to have them come support their own Sioux people.
Yalrighttttt, that's it my friends. Hope you guys are enjoying life as well. And not having a hard time coz I guess life is really too short to not feel fine. Hahaha, oh shut up!
