Appearing on The Firm, NTV7.

I thought I was going for a food review but found myself in the middle of a reality show. It was not the best experience in the world because the media event was truly, as they said in the show, a media disaster.

What they didn’t reveal was that I waited for almost 2 hours in the sweltering heat, there was nobody manning the media registration counter and all I got was a glass of soft drink.

Also, I disagree with the Bubba Gump’s boss that media event “cannot start with only 3 medias as it defeats the whole purpose of media event”. Well, you don’t ever punish medias with more waiting, especially not when they’ve been punctual and professional. What the team should have done was to think up of other micro events to occupy the punctual medias but obviously, they failed to do that.

The show didn’t really change much of what actually transpired but they did cut out the best bit of the event:

The team made all the medias gave out their date of births (big humongous no no) and then, at the end of the event…they pulled a TGIF on one of us who happened to be celebrating birthday in that month (second big humongous no no). It was one of the scariest and funniest thing I’ve ever witnessed. Poor fella was made to stand on a chair surrounded by a singing, cheering mob, hahaha.

If you’ve watched the video and spotted me, well obviously I was only getting screen times due to my various facial interpretations of what-the-fuck-is-going-on-here.

Nuffnang on NTV7 !

Got the headup from Nazrul that Nuffnang will be on NTV7 during the 8pm news (thanks Naz!) so I set up my tripod and camera in front of the tele. Settled down to watch Deal or No Deal to kill time. One of the best local shows ever in my opinion, the ads are not too long and the host is awesome. No fake accent, I like. A bit of googling later, I realised that he’s the dj on litefm…the Non! How could I not realise that? Men with good voices usually don’t score much in the looks department but Non is so handsome….. ngehehehe.

Oops digressed.

Right after Deal or No Deal came the 8pm news. The newscaster mentioned Nuffnang and the boo hit the record button but guess what came on the camera display? “Memory card error”. WTF I panicked and screamed unmentionables at the boo (poor thing). So he fumbled to unscrew the camera from the tripod, replaced the memory card and since there was no time to set the damn thing back on tripod, boo had to record the news with his hands.

Hence, the senget clip…

Thank goodness NTV7 has had the news clip archived and I’m able to post it here…

I’m glad that I’ve stuck with Nuffnang from the beginning and there is no doubt in my mind that Nuffnang is the front runner in Asia’s blog advertising scene.
