Dont do your work last minute, did someone told you that? Yes, its true from the past experiences last minute work don't really bear good results, in some instance it nearly caused a competition team to be kicked out from quarter-finals of that particular competition.(Luckily got through into semi & finals but beaten by MS). Enough of life stories that can be pondered upon by me.
Yesterday, 30th Jun Bridging Minds was held at Dewan Raya RTB. The SMSA gangs were seated in the same row, behind the Singapore's Forum Universiti crews. The crews were talking about Caldecott. In case you are wondering what actually is Caldecott. Its the 'heart' of MediaCorp's operations and which in 2010, the Bridging Minds in its 14th edition are going to be held, in which I hoped to watch. Before the recording started, the audiences were asked to clap their hands, to signify sambutan yang hangat macam lagu KRU Terhangat Di Pasaran. (this reminds me of a badil named thunder clap, incase your dont clap, the badil will be aimed at you). Bridging Minds is a annual project under the Broadcasting MOU between the government of His Majesty & Singapore. Its produced in collaboration by RTB & MediaCorp Okto (in Greek in mean 8) channel. The motion of the debate-play is Recession. A Blessing? It was hosted by Rozaidah, an ex participant of Titian Minda back in 2002, the year in which 1 of my ex-school top student participated in Bridging Minds and had won. While the Singapore's host was Shan Wee, a 987 Radio DJ. The debate not an ordinary style of debate, but also included the elements of 'drama'. With so little time to prepare for the debate, in only 1 wk plus, they need to learn to be actors, they had really done a good job!
In the proposition 1st act, it was about how Malaysia, EU & US managed to changed itself due to recession. And there was a 'Donald Trump', w/o 'you're fired' singature tagline and also a speaking oracle that's cute and is capable of receiving SMS, but why not bluetooth signals? On the other hand, the opposition, which portrayed themselves as 'super-heroes' which tries to say that 'Mr Recession' is not a blessing. In the 3rd act of proposition, there was an act of a man that had been left by his wife (acted by SMSa's Liza). Then, 2 spirits came and visit him and told him good of recession such as upgrading yourself, do more sports, reduce car accidents, lose weight & even get his wife back.
Eh, where's my talking oracle, Incoming Message Invalid Code, Oracle Self-destruct in 5 sec, cabut!
The opposition had rebutted & summarised that proposition points are very laughable e.g. reduce car accidents, you may even get accidents at home such as kitchen on fire, telur hangus(I added that).
In the mean time, while the judges were finalising their decisions, the audience were entertained by mini doctor, itu orang China mari punya pandai kung-fu, saya India mari datang itu. The audience had a good laugh in the time-span of about 2 hrs with all the entertaining, heated debate as well as the commercial break show.
Finally, the time had come, the results. The best performer went to Liza (yeah SMSA boleh and Malaysia boleh too). The winner is the super-heroes of opposition teams. And, the prize presentation had to be recored twice, because of hiccups i.e. self-service taking the prize and even the guest of honour Permanent Secretary, JPM Brunei & Permanent Secretary, MICA Singapore had a laugh.
Bridging Minds is aimed to bridge the gaps of race, religion, heights, size between Brunei & Singapore. See you in Singapore 2010.
That had given me an idea of how to overcome the GP debate in class, if it isn't postponed, by having an oracle that can speak. LOL!
After watching Bridging Minds, I first headed to Great Eastern to collect something, 100 yrs old toylion, that's smiling and say "LIFE IS GREAT", yeah life is indeed great! Then, its off to The Mall for lunch. At The Mall, we saw reporters from Brunei Times, and the story is published in today's Brunei Times. They said that many youths were not worried of MOH H1N1 advisory and some were seen wearing masks. Oh yeah, The Brunei Times Happy 3rd Year Anniversary & Thank You For My Free 3 Months Subscriptions.
At the end of the day I just wanna thank all the participants of SMSA Bridging Minds supporter, even though the numbers are less than expected (Teo, Mizi, Feeqa, Zul, Evelyn, Pjah, Silah) and also to Shuaib, Mizi & Evelyn for advertising the bus. Thanks also to Chan for following the bus back, and earned me extra fares. We all had a great time.
THE NEXT TRIP WILL BE A BANG, I GUARANTEED, but some people is complaining about gender inequality in the participants lists. No empty buses, the next time!
Last talk: I tell you that recession is very horrible you know, the hungry people had hitted 1 billion people for the 1st time. Haiya, itu Mr Censorship ah very lek oh you know
Welcome To July People
2010 & Caldecott here I come
