| Alright people, it’s 2005: Revisited. And since this is my blog, it will inevitably be all about ME. The highlights for me in 2005, not the world, not some social issues, but issues concerning ME. Now that you’re clear on this, here’s the year’s most anticipated entry ever!!!!
God, I love my jokes!
January 10: My first full-time job in the then I-think-it-is-so-glamorous-Channel V as a production assistant. Note: opinion of the company changed as the days gone by.
March: Saw Sting in concert, and that man was fine! The concert? Well, papers nationwide praised this man and basically worship the ground he walked on. Me? It was average. The opening was nothing amazing. He opened the concert by walking onto the stage, in some black attire, and greeted the audience in English (duh!!) and a mixed of malay words, before performing the first song of the night. Ain’t that some groundbreaking opening or what? I swear if he wasn't that good looking, I would have doze off. Overall, it was a disappointment for me. I totally blame it on the lack of interaction, performance and enthusiasm. It was a straight up singing night for Sting, and that was it. Maybe he thought his look could overshadow his lack of enthusiasm and charisma for that night. Well, for a half baked work, Sting has definitely outdone himself.
April: Hezo’s extended stay in Perth and KK finally ended, and she came to KL, hoping to settle down. And settle down she did not…hahahahaha…. It was funny thinking how she would complaint about the lack of civilization among the KL-ians… I have to say, Welcome to Malaysia. But it was great. We don’t spend as much time together anymore compared to our uni-days, but it was fun just poking fun at the Whale.
Another highlight in April was my increment. Not much, but it was alright, at that time (when I WASN'T juggling 3 person’s work at one go, or having to work weekends on my own time).
Also, my first assignment trip overseas. Yeah, and my only overseas assignment. I think it was this month if not mistaken. Went with Faizul, my colleague whom I hardly know at that time, but because there was no other guys available, I was picked to go with him to Singapore for an interview with this animation guy who works for George Lucas on his latest Star War film. Had no interest in the film, and had no idea whatsoever about the guy, so wasn’t exactly thrilled meeting him. Hotel was shit, and we almost had to pay with our own money. Yeah, this was one of the few things that would slowly change my opinion towards Channel V.
May: Nothing major happened.
June: Another increment. That’s all.
July: Don’t think anything major happened.
August 28 – 30: Went to Sandakan, Sabah with my colleague/friend Manju and our VJ Joey G, which turned out to be one hell of an experience. It was both fun and scary at the same time. The trip was to meet with the participants from Raleigh International, who were spending 3 months in the jungle. Crazy, I know. Not going into details here, but the best thing that came out of the trip was Graham Russell, one of the guide that drove us around. He was from Scotland, so initially we had a hard time understanding him. The first day, we were very polite, with lots of “excuse me” when we couldn’t understand him. By the 2nd day, we were so comfortable with him, we became very Malaysian and just went “What!” everytime we needed him to repeat his sentence. He’s so bitchy, sarcastic and funny. But he’s the good bitchy type, because his jokes are actually funny. Not putting people down kinda funny. But anyway, my colleague and I miss him the most, and I wonder where he is right now.
September: Boring month.
October: This one too, besides the overloaded work and my rebellious nature starting to show itself again, thanks to Channel V, there was really nothing much happened throughout the month.
November: Now, this month has some drama. My drama with my station manager aka my big boss. I was unsatisfied by his accusation, which he had no right of, I went into his room to discuss the matter with him. I was aware that I did raise my voice a lil when explaining to him about my work, and I apologize after that. But him being him, he refused to see the bigger picture, & chose to ignore the reason I was pissed. But instead chose to attack my work, which was very unprofessional because he had no right criticizing my work without knowing why I did what I did with the show first. He had no idea what I wanted to do for my show, and since he already had an idea of what to do with the show, he made me looked like I wasn’t doing my job. We calmed down after a while, but I knew he still did not think he made a mistake for his wrong accusation, but whatever, the show went on air, and no complaints from the head office. Screw you Jeff!
December: Nothing much happened either.
And that was it, my 2005: Revisited. Actually, nothing major happened though. In fact, nothing interesting that happened last year, as is every year anyway.
Wow that was a long entry, and it was definitely a piece of crap… hahahaha….boring ass entry.
