I was on tv
The photos were taken by a crew member during the rehearsal.
I was paid to go home by taxi ... 2700yen (RM80)
Believe it or not, I felt absolutely normal and wasn't scared at all. Cameras and I are in love somehow...hah!
Coming-of-age day is on Monday. And 20 year-olds are gathered in their birthplace's city halls to celebrate, wearing posh kimonos and taking a million and one photos.
(Shin chan's mom submitted that photo to the driving school)
---------------------------------
Minutes before the show started, we did some stretching,
Seconds before that, ...a whole lot of shouting.. and banzai-like-actions...
In this 45min morning show, they interviewed the 5 of us. And I'm the only foreigner.
Speaking of foreigner, here's what happened; All of us were waiting in the preparation room before rehearsal. One guy was late...well, not too late. EVERY crew member, including the tv hosts who came in, seeing only 4 people, asked...
"Where's the foreign student?"
Kok Hong smiles and raised his hands timidly...
And so the 2 ladies went ...
"Ehhhhh?!!"
And when the 5 of us were together, some asked... "uh.. which one of you is the foreign student?"
In this interview, they asked things like... "What problem is Japan facing with right now? What is your opinion?" ... "What dreams do you have in mind? Your aims...?" .....etc etc etc
* I wish to be (invited to appear) on tv again, for a good reason - not because I am 'wanted' by the police.
Seriously...
Seriously #2 : I suck at styling my own hair...
haha.. so serious.. i guess u could pass off as a japanese. lolz. u should've asked the stylist, 'how did u style my hair?'
where's the recording!!??? =)
whoa. nice job getting the interview. so what are your answers?
nice props behind you btw :P
mich... that kinda situation happens everywhere and everytime... and they won't know the truth until they ask me what my name is... and even if they ask me where i'm from, they'll ask it like this... which high school were you from? ... where is your hometown? ... i thought there'll be somebody doing the styling.. but it was too early and monday's a holiday so many took a day off... -.-"
samuel!! ... you've been keeping track of this site?!! .. i'm so touched ...lol ... ageing society is jpn's prob and my hopes are to do something bout global warming...(like cursing Bush).. they ask other stuffs like, should the adult's age be 18, or 20... i think you're an adult as soon as you work though...
u look so cute on da tv!! ur gonna get fan girls running after u and u'll be excaping them on ur trusty bicycle soon...
damn cool wei! forget sugoi.. the new word for u is Kakkoi!! haha.. no recording??
"What dreams do you have in mind? Your aims...?"
So, what you answered them?
nah.. not gonna publish the videos due to copyrights. but i'm not sure if my senior did it for me in the first place...
calvin.. my dream is that you deposit 1man into my account every mth.. lol...read the comments...
haha... it always end up with money, isn't it?
so cutee!! u look good on television!! but i have to say that you probably look the most Japanese-y among all the students...
horrr the cambodians will be sad to have lost one of their lookalikes to the japanese.
did they assume the "foreign student" would be the late one?
shame on them if they did -_-'
wai hong, thanks but you've exegerrated.
kheewei... 2 points; i can camouflage in a japanese crowd and, they were expecting to see some orang asli fella
Kok Hong, cool... can be on TV... somemore not in malaysia... must be a very good experience... MAy ur wish on TV again will come true lah...
