i know i shouldn't be blogging now... i've still 2 exams to go... and i'll be "free" by 1.30p.m. on tuesday the 22nd of november!!!
so anyway, yesterday i collected my prize - sony ericsson w800i walkman phone... and well, i had to go to the channel v office which was in a building called new vision media or something like that... i guess its a production company cantracted by channel v to do their programs... and luckily it was in section 14, pj... so near to UM... i had to rush off after my biostatistics exam, get some lunch down in jaya and walk over to the office (which was previously the toyota showroom).
the reception area was really nice... with some people (presumably their staff) sitting around discussing (or maybe chatting...)... anyway, i went up to the balcony-like waiting area and vj joey g was there with the 1st week winner (he won the black ipod nano... so nice!!! would've bid for it if my registration got through... wasted 15 sen!!!)... had small talk... then the press people came ( i think they were from malay mail, galaxie and cosmo)... then they interviewed us... how we won, how many sms bids we sent (the other guy sent 66 sms for the 2 episodes... i said i sent about 10 sms... which later i remembered that i spent rm10, so that would make it 20 sms (opps!)... but then when i checked my sent msgs, i bid 7 times... so technically i told the truth, right?), what we feel about the pogram and the channel itself, what was the tie-breaker question (the other guy's was 'channel v bidit is for astro subscribers only?' and he thought it was a warning at first... mine was 'robbie williams is from take that?' and LK and i was debating whether it was a trick question... the "is" part should have technically been "was" - in the linguistic aspect at least), what you'd like to see on bid it in the future (both of us were blank), what we plan to put on our gadgets (i said a little bit of lisa loeb - i'm just so into her nowadays!!!, the darkness - later on the malay mail reporter show me the latest darkness cd, one way ticket to hell and back!!!, and strictly no pop...), bla... bla... bla... and they asked us do we watch mtv or channel v more? (and i being the stupid straight forward nerd i am said that i watched mtv more... which is true, but not the politically correct answer, since we're kind of part of a publicity stunt to promote channel v; the other guy was wiser... saying that there's a balance between the both)... so after the questions, there was a photo session (really really felt uncomfortable and i think i look geeky in the photos too, as always!) and we posed with ur prizes and also with joey g and he was sooooooo tall, i've no doubt that i looked like a midget right beside him... and after that we thought we could go off...
but the publicity guy (which looked very familiar... if he's chinese, then i dunno who he is... but if he's malay, i think he might've been the lead vocalist from the local band 'lied', which LK and i watched in starbucks, ikano a while ago) caught us in time before we went out the door... we had to do a short video recording... we had to state our name, location, how we feel and the secret to bid it is... the camera guy was desmond (who was the one who liased with me on the phone throughout the whole process... and well, voice and face do not match... hahahahaha)... the ipod guy went first (and although he was the chattier one between the two of us, he was abit tongue-tied) and when it was my turn (and i felt like i was back again at xcapade doing public speaking)... i managed to get it done in 2 and 1/4 (because i trip on the words sony ericsson...) cuts... not bad... though i'm very sure i sounded shakey (as usual) and well, rushing my words (like i do, everytime i have a presentation!!!)... then the other guy had to redo his recording and i quickly skipped off before they got any other funny ideas...
my old phone k500i (which now belongs to papa)...
my new phone w800i (yahoo!!!)...
