CJ

Not CJ 7 but Chief Judge,

Was quite nervous at 1st after volunteering as a CJ due to unknown.

Was quite stress over the unfilled judges seats, calling over 100people to look for just 5 judges. Unfortunately no one is available on that day which is today 280808.

I was calling, texting and emailing to all TM that I encounter…I try to search for those that are minimal contact with that club cause I knew that it is hard to judge due to bias and pre-conception..

For so long that I try and get judges, I was nervous as the day nearer and the judges are only 3 instead of 5..It would be unfair to the contestant if I could not find 5 TM out of so many TM. It is unfair to me as it will reflect bad on me..But don’t worry, last minutes I able to fill in all the 5 judges.

To be fair, the day wasn’t a good day as most of the TM are engaged in one thing or another. as far as I know, there are over 6 activities or contest going in DIV W, P and C.

Luckily I able to secured 5 instead of 3 judges, cause it is a tough decision to be make over the contestant at DU Advanced TMC contest.

As a CJ, nothing much of a excitement only a bit of curiousity cause I now can give the result to the contest chair instead of waiting for the result to be given by the CJ.

well at last, I think I’ve done a good job as a CJ for a first timer…I’m not a virgin anymore..YEAH!!!

To be a CJ is easy but to find quality judges is hard. Nevertheless, I’ve try my best…

Apa Khabar!Aku Cinta Pada MU

Ladies and gentlemen,

Does those words sound familiar to you? To me, I would say it the most uttered Malay words among overseas artist that come to Malaysia.

No matter where you from, Taiwan, China, HK, Europe, North America..all will start and end with the 2 liners..

Scene 1: Performance Anywhere in Malaysia, foreign artist.

“Apa Khabar Malaysia!” by any artist on stage, and the crowd go crazy!! And I’m thinking don’t we all love our national language? “Aku Cinta Pada MUUUUUUUUU” the local crowd get even crazier!!Chanting “AKU CINTA PADA MU” all the way until the melody played..

Scene 2: Performance, anywhere in Malaysia, Local Artist promoting Mandarin Album.

“Apa Khabar Malaysia” and the crowd goes “……..” silence all the way…”Aku Cinta Pada Mu”…”what this chinese doin?” “wanna speak Malay pula”…

Scene  3: Performance, anywhere in Malaysia, Local Artist in a countdown stage.

“Apa Khabar Malaysia”…and the crowd mostly chinese will go like “what is the Malay guy doing?”"who is the next artist ah?”

What I am trying to prove here is that, we never cherish our own culture and our local artist, they have given more and struggle yet we only focus on foreign artist..no doubt that sometimes they are more capable than ours but hey..If you like to listen to “Apa Khabar” our local artist can always filled that in their dishes and not to forget our local artist can even dialogue in BM if you wanted to..

Support the local Scene and stop shouting for just 2 liners from the foreign artist…raise the bar to one sentence at least..

Just my thoughts after listened to a interview over the radio station…a Taiwanese learning the 2 liners and the crowd goes “WOW”..lol..silly Malaysian..

Rushing but not today

Don’t know why..tonight I felt the peace in me..(woo..you must be thinking-”whats wrong with you dude?”)

Maybe is been long time I’ve been occupied with stuff…Work, Toastmasters, socials..

Sometimes I felt really a rush day even as I walk I felt I’m running..lol..

Just yesterday, I was rushing over to KLCC to pass the workshop tickets and area W2 contest tickets to Exact TMC after my work..

While I was rushing from Star Link to Putra I was almost running, no eye candy on the OL around me not knowing who is walking next to me nor behind me..I was just passing by the terminal using “TnG” at 6.30pm.

While I was in the train my thoughts just flow into my mind occupied while passing few stations, without my knowledge I felt yesterday journey was faster than other days…So as usual, I’ll use my light speed walking technique(learn from my Boss!lol) passby ROTIBOY, ZaraMan and to the toilet(nature’s call)….

When I reached the toilet, I found 2 were queuing for the bowl..I waited and that is the time a thought struck me…”I finally stand still”(duh!) and what I noticed is that I’m not the only one who is rushing at that time..

I can FEEL..seriously by the way they pee and move I can sense they are rushing as well..hehe..how come even the most enjoyable moments have to rush as well?

Pee is a natural thing just like making love..why rush? Why we can’t enjoy the process and take it slow and comfortably?

hehe..So I decided to take it slowly and enjoy the moments..I felt so nice and happy after that because I did it for myself..hehe..just like today..not doing a single thing yet I felt so happy and peaceful..lol..

Life is too rush and we can’t afford to enjoy all the moments but at least we can choose when and what to enjoy..what is your enjoyment in life?even a small one?
