Training No. 3 : Find my Funny Bone

-



I am a serious guy? I think I am. That's because today's DJ training went quite bad on my half. My topic is relevent, actually too relevant. It's boring. It's very formal but valid at the same time. It is like my funny half is, dare I say, dead.


Maybe since I am going through certain trials and tribulation, makes me a little bit serious. With the accident and the house move, it seems that everything is less funny. I need to get my clumsy to get out and be, well, funny. When I was growing up, I used to be the joker in the family, the funny one, the teaser, the bully, the clown of the crowd. But as I grow up, I kind of grew up. Even in school I was a little popular and people think that I am funny. Always a crowd pleaser. Have I lost my humour and became a sensible adult? It's frustrating. When you know you can be funny but you can't. It's easy right? Maybe I am trying too hard to funny. Perhaps.


The scripts of the other DJs are drafting is seriously down right funny. There's this guy on of the top ten, he has the voice, he's got a radio voice. (Is there a word such as phono-genic?) He's good, he could beat our arses off in a flick, and his skrip is absolutely hilarious. But the thing is, he can't bring it to shape. I envy him. I envy another protégé , we share the same mentor and he is good at making his scripts. And its easy for him. We both have the same problem to shape the freshness and cheerness the network wanted. And if we did, we sounded a little fake (trying to hard).


I suppose age has spoiled me. It has aged me and shaped me to be the guy that I am. This serious man, I mean, it's not bad, but at this point in time I need it! Can you help me find my funny bone again?


Post Edit: The word 'Phonogenic' does not exist, but there is 'Fonogenic' which is only an online music store.... Just FYI...

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me Warning: This will be a long read. There are a lot of things in my mind which I wanted to express. Today is my birthday, and now I am three decades old. Time has travelled so fast in front of my eyes. And today, I look back my life and reflect my past. And will also discuss my years to come, insyaallah. First and Foremost, on the eve of my birthday was the Sixty Second DJ competition which ran align with the best 914. Best 914 is a singing contest where the contestants are selected from a radio show which they called in and sang with a minus one song. And now, yesterday they sang really really well and they sounded like professional singers. It's amazing that they are just singers who just sang along in the radio, for some they have been into a few singing contest. Then it was our turn. I was the fifth contestant, to go and face the crowd. It was nerve wreaking looking at what looks like about a thousand people watching you. I did what I can, and I did it wi...

Tolerances and Compromises

-
I'm half angry and half sulking with my OH . Sometimes my OH have this ability to make me feel needy and clingy. Sometimes I feel that I'm always the one giving and giving, thus making me feel just like that. It is as if, I'm holding all my cards out for everyone to see for the sake of love. And I'm only making a great fool of myself. Where does that fine line starts or stop? Where would you draw the line from doing something for someone your love and doing anything and everything for someone you love? As days go by, sometimes I feel I'm doing the latter. I'm only writing my frustration here, not to belittle my beloved OH , I just need to release this anger that I am having at the moment. So what was this all about? Without elaborating too much on the matter, I asked to be together for one night and do what I wanted to do and then, I got a quick turn down. Purely because my OH don't feel like it. I've done my part of reluctance for the sake o...

Sunday at the Beach

Since we had a great shooting at Tutong's Seri Kenangan Beach last week.  We decided to do a sequel with the usual crew, my mentor Corey and our model of the month, Redz.   So I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves, it's mediocre, I know, I'm still learning and I'm still couldn't get over with photoshopping issues.  I lose some quality when I reduce the image size.  It has been a great weekend.  And I sense a great weekday ahead. On our way to Seri Kenangan Beach The Tumpi (Malay Pan cake) was good, we nearly forgot the sun was setting, I love the silhouette created by the setting sun. A post card picture of a father and son, taking pictures of the sunset. Casuarina Tree Redz contemplating to go deeper into the sea... Breaking the waves Mastering the Panning technique Of course, we couldn't forget our Next Bruneian Top Model!  Picture perfect! So Until then my dear readers...  hope you like my pictures.  Comments appreciated.  These pictures are n...
