Yeayea...I know I told every human being and their dog that already.
But...
I LOVE MY JOB!

Yesterday, my sis and I went to Astro with Eric, who had to 'service' the radio stations...deliver CDs and whatnot.
So, the people we met:
DJs Non, Pietro, Serena C, J. Lo, the Jakeman and Skeletor.
Like whoa.
They're all so cool! =D
And I am seriously freaked out by the Jakeman. He is so, so tall and intimidating. T.T
Anyway, what we learned was that for each radio station, only two people choose the songs.
TWO!
And I was thinking they had some department to analyse the songs and stuff, to see the audience's reaction.
But nooo, people like Eric just come and give them singles to listen to, and if they like it, they play it.
...
And I thought they play what the people want to hear.
But as Jason put it...
Some big shot American guy tells the record company to play a song.
The mindless drones go: 'All hail,' and proceed to push radio stations to play it.
Then when one radio station plays it, ALL of them must play it, for they cannot NOT play a hit song, for it is simply not done to be left out of the loop.
And when all radio stations play it, the song becomes 'in' and teenyboppers listen to it.
Then when they like the song, they buy CDs, then everyone makes money.
...So we are all just pawns in the chess game of the record industry.
Oh, and you people who listen music that is 'underground'?
HAH! You all were SO being manipulated. The record labels know who to target, and how to sell their products. So while you were thinking about how cool you were listening to 'unknown' artists, the record label is actually making the band appear that way, to appeal to you guys.
And they make even more money.
Suckers! =P

Anyway, today my sis drove the car up the curb while visiting Channel [V], and the tyre popped!
Yeesh.
And guess who came to help?
Yup.
Johnson Wee.
LOL!
And TL! The guy KinkyBlueFairy's friends all want to date. Hahaha!
Now I can say that a mini-celebrity and a hot guy tried to fix my car!
...and failed. Still had to send to workshop la.
Haha.
Anyway, we went to Channel [V] to watch Johnson get interviewed.
It's pretty interesting...but the studio is freaking creepy.
The wallpaper is peeling, and there are black styrofoam boards hanging EVERYWHERE, for lighting purposes. Very scary.
The interviewer dropped her notepad...and nothing else interesting happened.
Johnson spoke fluently, and get this, he wasn't even given the questions beforehand!
I'm so jealous of people who can speak well.
But he was pretty damn nervous. It's not in the frame, but he was tapping his hands and fidgeting a lot.
Now I know that even celebrities get nervous.
And why they only film half the body.
Heh.
More to come.
Song of the Day:
"Starlight - Muse"
Muse MIGHT also be coming to Malaysia. Yippee!
But...
I LOVE MY JOB!
