What's the world's greatest lie?




"It's this: that at a certain point in our lives,

we lose control of what's happening to us,
and our lives become controlled by fate.
That's the world's greatest lie."


The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho

Second pre-518 day






The cheeky lia members have given me a little surprise.
Though i do not know who the attendees are and the venue to set in beforehand,
i am very much in an anticipating mood for my little dinner!





little prawns for starter...



thereafter comes the lamb shank...



then the salmon fillet i ordered...




and also the special chicken 'combo' for Rach..


O...NO...

I can taste the sourness of the prawn,
and the sweetness of my fish,
then i can feel the succulent and juicy bit of the lamb,
afterall, I can't taste anything with the aroma!
I am having a serious flu!

First pre-518 day



With a classic tabloid-menu,



in a cozy setting with lots of small pine trees,




creme brule & a hot chocolate lava cakes are good for sweet tooth!




At another corner with a beautifully-illustrated menu,



the burger in the picture has tempted me...



and... somehow A real teriyaki Pork Burger has surprised me!
Sometimes, there is menu don't lie:)




What's more....

You have made my night!
The little eiffel has conquered me, oh....it's so lovely!

虽败犹荣

最近得了个机会参与了电视台招聘的主持人面试活动。当接到通知说已被shortlisted可以出席此活动的时候,心情像嗑了药,突然变得好兴奋,只欠没在寿司店里跳起来!

结果在星期六的那个早上,就兴致勃勃出发了。找了整个小时,都找不到电视台,唉,还说住kl,好差哦!

×有点惭愧

最后找到了,却迟了一个小时。一推门进去时,只见穿黑西装的人头有好几个,其中有一位笑的很有风度的迎面而来,
‘你就是Jean吗?你好,这是你的稿,你先去化妆吧!’
eh, 当时我在想工作人员该不会穿得这样正统吧?
原来,他也是来应征的,难怪说话时的口音非常特别,像是听到广播员在报告新闻一样;eh,这样一听,立刻留意自己的口腔一下,唉哟,更加‘怕势’,才发现自己的华语听起来好像pasar一样,啦啦沙沙!不管了,此时此刻已无补于事,算了,读读稿吧。

oh no...原来是一个时事节目,一份稿足足有5-6页,每一页都满满的字。就趁造型师用他超大力的吹风筒往我头发一吹的时候,我很勇敢的把每一个字给大大声读出来,然后还把拼音啦,翘舌音啦给咬的紧紧的;就是趁风筒够吵,所以念的时候没有闲情理会他人眼光;谁知当风筒一停,我突然来不及收回声音,眼角扫扫角落,有位女应征者掩口偷笑,唉,的确有点‘愚’,可是算了,我唯有若无其事的走去走廊。

原来这次的casting不像一般的节目通常让参赛者独自上阵;而这次却要以分组进习,每一组四个人。对着我组里的三位仁兄可不是闹着玩的,除了一身’君子骨骨‘的装扮,还能操一口非一般流利畅顺的华语,说话时我一度以为他们在播道新闻,怎么听起来好像就已经有在看电视的感觉,好厉害噢!
oh no,我突然觉得好想上语文班:(

还有还有,对着镜头从容不迫不在话,稿词说的自然生动,且无需对稿,加上一副’我就要你看我‘的专业表情,实在很有水准;不知是录音室里的空调温度还是心里的胆小恐惧症发作,坐在主持座上的我,已经脚软的楞在一旁。接下来到本小姐了,耳朵架上耳机的那霎那,我突然觉得原来主持人有三把耳朵。除了要听自己,听嘉宾,还有要听导播。全无经验的我真的很’怕势‘的说,耳朵不习惯handle三把声音,结果自己内心的那把杂音把自己打败了。除了面对镜头有少许从容之外,呃...其他的都fail...

一个casting就足以把自己打得落花流水。还未与别人角逐,已经输了一大半。其实自己知自己事,我想我还是真的还未到班,除了说自己差劲以为,我想不到别的形容词,唉,好失败哦!可是话说回来,本小姐还是要振作的,虽然这次输的彻底,可是还有少许虽败犹荣的感觉;安慰自己的啦,想想其实并没有怎样啦,能够得到机会参与此活动真的赚到了。除了能够见识到多位高手的专业表现,也能从中看到自己的渺小与缺陷,这两点已经足够了。

现在我知道了,为什么行中人都说这条路难走。若你真的喜欢,就不要停下来;不停下来不是说什么都不做,等待着每次机会因为没准备而溜走,而是要不停不停的练习,除了要能言善道之余,还有多阅读,多写稿,多对着镜子说话。不要小看这些小动作,因为每一项都是致胜的关键。

看着我像泄了气的皮球似的坐在沙发,
爸爸说‘现在知道世界很大,自己很小了哦,还是放弃吧!’

眼睛盯紧报纸,自己偷笑却不答一句。
喝,想起来那几位仁兄在当我在背稿时,身边走过对我瞄了一下,那对我不屑一看的眼神,终于让我明白原来背后为自己兴趣不断付出与坚持的人,才可以驾这种气势的。
现在除了佩服,还是佩服。


呵呵...
别我问现在有什么plan,我需要一点时间‘备势’...
:P
