<- Me and Jason Lo..OMG!!
OK...first things first..........i'm gonna shout !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know how it feels to be able to meet your biggest idol??? IT'S GREATER THAN GREAT!!!!!!! it's UNBELIEVABLE!!
Well i do admit that i hv loads of idols though...but i've never met one that i'm like CRAZIEEEEE over for so many years!!
I have been a fan of Jason Lo since his first song was out - "Evening News" was the song... it was when that song was out, i saw a future in the Malaysian ENglish Music industry...no Malaysian can do
English songs like Jason at that time..at first i tot Jason is like another WHite fella coming into the music industry but i liked him alot, so i kept following his news...i remember on NTV 7, they always hv his video clips...later i was very very shock when i found out that Jason Lo is actually a Malaysian...i was proud at the same time ....
later he continues to do wonders, like hosting and deejay-ing...he's just so GREAT!!!
anywayz...i enjoyed watching him the most on LAtte@8.. a talk show..or rather...THE TALK SHOW!!
it was my favourite show as Jason is hillarious and i just LOVE him.... besides, i learn a lot from tat program..SERIOUS!
Jason Lo, hmm....i admire him not just only because of his talent, but also because he has got the brains man,...i really admire people who are intelligent...and he's like WOW! i wish that i could be like him one day.... except the singing part though,cuz i never can sing... and d intelligent part...i hv to work on that too haha....
anywayz remember i was supposed to do an interview with celebs for my assignment?? well ya i did interview
rina but then it was rejected by my ...erm.. lecturer (just dun ask me abt it...i'm still kinda pissed) anywayz...i kept on
searching for stars and i got Shazzy a malay rapper....yea...me n Agnes (my assignment mate) did the interview and...
it did go well i guess...Shazzy was damn nice...very friendly and yea it was great...
but coming back to Jason....my other friends got an interview with him and i was like...."WHAT??!! JASON LO!!! i have to go!!!" so i tagged along ...and they were really nice to let me follow them...thanks mike n Gan!!
so yesterday (29 JUne 2006 - the day i will remember for the rest of my life) we went to Fat Boys Records , his studio or record company....watever it is .. to meet him.........he's so tall and me being so short is like half of him damn....but when i saw him...it was like .....undescribable cuz he has been my idol for so long and to finally see him walking towards me...(or rather us) ....it was fantastic...i really hope that i can relive that moment again...sigh...haha...anyway he's damn CUTE!!!!! my friend told me he is fat...i dun think so though...hmmm....maybe becuz i'm fat myself...heck who carez...he's really good-looking in person haha.....
then we went on with the interview...he liked my MP3, which is cool..!! haha he was holding it throughout the interview...haha...i love my MP3!! he gave us a lot of meaningful advice....honestly...i could cry if he goes on haha...
but seriously...like my dad say...we always need a mentor in life and if possible, i'm gonna make Jason Lo my mentor....if possible la....dream first la...haha...
anyway it was such a fantastic experience..... at the end of the day, even though JAson Lo is not featured in my assignment (sad, sad), i get to meet him and i brought home with me so many stuff (knowledge)....i learn a lot... then it was time for the photo session...if you actually notice...i'm darn nervous and shy haha...that's why i'm like crouching a lil...hmm..maybe a lot...hey come on...forgive me ...i'm darn nervous standing next to my idol....he's so cool and nice ......awwww.....and he was so tall that i had to ..u know tip on my toes ...but still looked one and a half head shorter than him....."CRAP!!" anywayz....overall i had a great time...
after doing 6 interviews ....yes 6 ....very very tiring...but at the end of every interview..i brought home so much with me....through this process, i learnt so much about the industry that i'm going to venture in...well i found out a lot of cons though...but i feel that ..YA, i want to try and do it you know,..i mean they told me about the datelines, sleepless nights, being away from family (that;s d only concern for me, cuz i'm such a mummy girl...sigh)....but i really think that ...if i focus and put my heart and soul into it...i will enjoy it...
i mean these few days were really busy and stressful for me as i had to do interviews almost everyday of the week...from monday to fridays...i had to sit on the lrt for like 45 min for th whole week....and i had to reach hostel late every night...and even when i reached the hostel, i had so much to do, "thank you" cards to draw, other assignments to do....and i missed all my favourite tv shows....slept damn late every night and hv to wake up early the next morning to go for classes and of course after classes ..travel to another interview....
but when i look back....DAMN i'm so proud and glad that i've done all those....i did manage to cope and go thru that ....all that...yes, alot of people asked (some sarcastically) me why do i need to go for 6 interviews when the lecturer only want one...
long story,....well the thing is...my good friend, YEan Fun is paired up with a lousy assignment mate, becuz she has got no choice actually, so i had to help her, in some ways it was my fault she had to pair up wit that useless gal...so it is my duty to help her out...both of us called EMI together...we did everything to search for the stars and our prayers were answered when EMI called back and set us up with VInce and Shazzy....so i interviewed Shazzy while YEan Fun did VInce...i had to follow YEan FUn to interview Vince becuz my other friend, Ah Chin is driving us there, so i had to be there right? then secondly, why would i miss a chance to meet Vince?? though i'm not a huge fan, but then there's nothing wrong going and practice my interviewing skills right?
then of course we had to have a back-up interviewee in case anything pop-up last minute right?
so i had to go with Yean Fun to her back-up interviewee, who is my cousin, Doreen who's a successful and talented illustrator... (plz visit her website ..i'll post it later...haha...forgot damn!)
anywayz..that's it....i've done already 4 interrviews if u actually count... Rina, Vince, Shazzy, Doreen...
then there's my own backup interview....Mr. Raymond CHew (the worst interview actually) He was the director of an advertising company...very successful man...that's what made us look stupid..so we asked some wrong questions...sigh... anywayz Mr. Raymond was really really nice...he gave me, Agnes and YEan Fun each an "Oscar" (from tthe cartoon Tommy and Oscar) doll....it's not a small one...it's A HUGE HUGE one!! i was so so so happy!!!!
ok that make 5 interviews.... then the last one was of course JASON LO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love JASON LO!! I LOVE HIM!!
and he love me too haha....nah just kidding...but that was the message he wrote to me though when i asked for his autograph... he wrote there "to tammy, i love you" haha!! ok i know i know....i'll stop bragging already...it doesn;t mean anything haha...but i'll continue dwell on that moment
yea so all of this interviews are really really fun....i had fantastic times doing all that...even though i said i dislike my lecturer for putting me thru all this, inside, there's a slight feeling of gratefulness (does this word actually exist?) that i actually got a chance to do all this....
i'm loving it.....i love what i;m doing now...i hope, really hope that i'll be successful in this industy....i hope of course that GOd will support me along the way...God had all this while...and i'm really thankful...thanks for all this....thanks for giving me a chance to meet Jason Lo and interview him....
I LOVE YOUGOD!!
well, after the Jason Lo interview, my day was more relaxing, i got to take a nap (and how 'lucky' that the electricity had to fail on the only day i'm free to take a nap..what the *Beep*)..anyway i still slept cuz i was damn tired....how many days i hadn't had good night rests ...anywayz i slept and woke up and watched a movie and continued work...AGAIN!! haha cuz
now it's time to worry about my other assignments...drama in particular....hmm....how the hell will our group fare?? i mean we're suposed to act next thursday and our leads haven't even memorize the scripts...
let's screw it haha....only kidding....God plz help me bluff my way thru this drama thingy...that is..even if we acted like "Crap" i just hope that the teacher somehow enjoyed it and givess us high marks....HAHAHAHA!!
and my Station ID, i hope it's a success!!! My instructor commented that i have a SOuthern accent...is that good or bad?? hmm...think positive...it's good hahaha......
Well like i said...i'm loving what i am doing now...and hopefully i'll love it in future too...i dunno what to expect but i'll prepare for the worst for i know it's gonna be tough but yes...hopefully with God beside me, i can get thru anything...i am worried, cuz i really considers myself weak sometimes...haha
anywayz Again, before i end today's session JASON LO!! LOVE YA!!
~WITH Lots and Lots of Love,
TAmmy~

OH MY GOD!! i actually got to interview Rina Omar from d 8TV weekend quickie..
i learnt a lot and got to go to sri pentas...it was a fantastic experience...
we were supposed to interview her for our assignment...bcuz we thought she was a producer...it turns out that she's not a producer but a content creator/assistant producer...great we can't write about her in our report but who cares...we learnt a lot from her...
well she;s nice ...i mean she has a hectic schedule n she still managed to spare some time to do the interview with us...i'm really grateful... there were a few awkward moments but overall i hope it was ok....plz GOd.,..i hope i didn't do or say anything wrong...
anywayz...i'm really stressed out these days...a lot has been happening...we were really bz searching for singers, models or actress to be interviewed by us for our assignments...i mean, d teacher said that she'll give us higher marks for a more famous celeb..."that's just great"!! she expects us students of TAR College with no press company backing us to land ourselves in an interview with super stars?? i mean, we aren;t paying the stars anything right? it's not easy at all....i mean she shouldn't be marking d assignment based on how famous the stars r but on how we write d article i think.... sigh...i hv no idea...that teacher just kinda piss me off sometimes...
we had a really hard time searching for these stars, not to mention wasted tonnes of money calling the recording companies and all....and i mean....i'm just not sure whether it's worth all d fuss....i mean, y sud i find someone so famous....just 'cincai' grab anyone from town la....sigh... but i just can't get myself to think that....next week...i hv like 4 interview sessions with diff people...sigh....damn!!
anywayz...i treat all these interviews as an experience...i'm really nervous though....
sigh...another thing that i'm damn worried about is my drama assignment...we;re supposed to act again...'GREAT'...y do i always hv to be stuck with acting...i mean, i no actress OK, PERIOD!! y do i hv to do this?? i mean we only hv 2 more weeks and we're like...not even close to finishing half the production...let's just say..we haven't even got the script ready...
HEY be4 u accuse me of being lazy, plz understand that i hv 5 4 other assignments to worry abt....and all of them have to be passed up on week 6!! so tell me my dear people ...how the *beep* am i suposed to handle all these things....and i hv to deal with the interviews somemore....i'm trying really really hard to go through this hard time....i mean i know that if i want to be in this industry i hv to be prepared to work and to go through all these stress....but the thing is...i'm not going to act...so acting in a drama is a total, complete waste of my time..though i really really like the teacher miss simone reutens....i also enjoy studying the dramas but definitely not acting...=(
sigh,..ok i'll just bare with it...just hope that i won't fail d subject that's all...
and Katharine MCphee....yes!! She's just great..Andrea Bocelli invited her to perform at his concert....she's a great singer....she deserve it....i mean...whoever said tat she loves to flirt better SHUT UP!!!
ok i guess that's all now...i hv to go...i'll write when i'm free again...i'm so bz these days sigh...dun even get to blog often...
anywayz take care ppl!!
