RADIO HOST AUDITION

Good afternoon everybody!

I hope you're all having the best weekend ever considering it's a bank holiday Monday tomorrow. Here's to long weekends :D

So, I took a very sudden trip to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday to go for an audition the following day. And I actually just came back from KL yesterday. I am extremely tired because I've been going to KL for two weeks in a row now.

I received a call from TraxxFM (a radio station here in Malaysia) on Monday - asking me to go for an interview/audition on Thursday. Hence, this little impromptu trip.

When I arrived the radio station (which was massive), I had no idea it was an audition at the time because they said it would be an interview. And at the back of my head, an interview will be no longer than half an hour. I went in and saw the word "AUDITION" in block capital. I honestly had no idea what to expect.

So, I was placed in a room with 15-20 people. It was really tensed at first. No one wanted to speak to anyone. It was like a competition and I felt uncomfortable at first. But after an hour or so, we all started talking and bonding, which was really good.

The producers handed us 5 stories in which we have choose 3 of the stories and paraphrase it and talk about it under a minute. All of us had a task of writing and completing a script in 15 minutes. The script had to include an introduction, 3 of the stories, an entertainment news written by yourself, a closing to your show, followed by breaking news. So, 7 talk-sets altogether. It was confusing at first - trust me, I didn't even get what one of the producers were talking about when she was explaining this. But when it came to the time, I sort of knew what they wanted.

They then brought me into the studio where there were 5-6 people watching me from the other side of the glass room. It was nerve-wrecking at first because all eyes were on me and what I was going to say. After a few seconds, I got comfortable with the whole thing, so no biggie.

All in all, it was a completely different experience for me. A good kind of different. I loved it. And this can be something I talk about with my friends while we're sitting in a cafe or whatnot :)

I vlogged most of my trip because I think it would something really nice to look back on next time. You can watch it here if you want to:




Happy Sunday y'all! X


P/S: I want to thank my bro for being there for me the whole time :D 

BURGER KING + STARBUCKS + CHEAT DAY

Good evening my lovely readers

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I know I did. This was probably one of the best weekends I've had so far! So yes, I do hope everyone had a good one.

I've always seen Saturdays as cheat days. By this, I mean spending extra money on food, spending time doing things you don't really get to do on weekdays, spending energy on doing the things that you love.

And that was exactly how I spent my Saturday yesterday.


DAY 9 OF MY LITTLE ADVENTURES: EATING + DRINKING


Ah food. 

Before I start this post, I would actually really like to know which type of person you are. Do you:


LIVE TO EAT

or

EAT TO LIVE

? 

I think everyone knows which type I am :) But just in case you don't, I am of course the first one! Shameless XD

I woke up with a little bit of a headache in the morning but I wasn't going to let that ruin my day. My friends and I decided to go into town for a little bit of window-shopping but ended up being a food-hunting session instead.

Town was absolutely packed, as per usual. We decided to go for a quick bite because we were so hungry. Burger King, it was. I honestly forgot how good Burger King was because the last time I stepped into Burger King was probably a year ago. Or maybe even longer! But it was so goooood.

We then decided to head off to Starbucks to get some drinks and take a nice long walk in the park because the weather was just beautiful.

One thing I've truly learned to appreciate over time is "the value of friendship". When you've found a friend that you can share whatever you want with and feel totally comfortable and OK with, never let that person go. As you grow older, you learn who you click with, what kind of people you want to surround yourself with, who your true friends really are, people who take the time to understand you. When you can talk absolute nonsense to a person and when a person talks total crap in front of you and the both of you just start laughing at each other but still find those ridiculous topics interesting. That's when you know you should never let that person leave your life.

Also, one thing that I find myself sort of obsessed with lately is taking long walks in parks. I've always loved taking long walks on the beach and the beach, in general. But I just learned to appreciate parks a lot more lately. I think it's probably because I come from a country where nature is a very rare thing and also, parks are not really a common place to relax due to the extreme heat!

We spent a couple of hours in the park talking and relaxing - something I'm really going to miss doing.

We then met up with my boyfriend and his friend at a work party. Now normally, I wouldn't really be interested in going to events like these but since I was already in town, I figured why not. We got some more drinks and food in the pub.

Overall, my tummy was having a good day. However, I probably gave it a shock since I haven't eaten so much in a while.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT: WELL, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT EVERYDAY THAT I GET TO HAVE AN "ALL-DAY" EATING AND DRINKING SESSION

SOMETHING I LOVE: FOOD + DRINKS + QUALITY TIME

I had such a wonderful time. Every moment should be cherished, especially those little moments.




Since it is now Sunday night over here, all I can say is that I hope everyone of you had a lovely weekend.


Don't forget to let me know which type of person you are :P

Live to eat or Eat to live?
