SQUIRKS!

August 24th, 2008 · Comments

Hello everyone!

Ok I think I’m overworked again. Actually, it’s not so bad but I’m feeling a bit lost, and not sure what to do or say on air. Getting up at 4.30am to go to work to TRY to be funny is not fun. Frankly, who wants to listen to what happened to me the day before? OR what’s going on in my life? There are SO many interesting stories and happenings in Singapore and around the world. If I were listening to radio, I don’t care about the DJ’s opinions…Just play the freakin’ music and give me the traffic news Properly! I don’t wanna know what the DJ had for breakfast or how their kids or pets performed at school…

What ever happened to: “Good Morning! It’s 7.05, beautiful Monday morning! Hope you had a GREAT weekend. SMS me, tell me what YOU did these past two days, 9*****00, the number to remember, in the meantime, here are the Ting Tings to kick start your day!”

There that wasn’t so hard… Done in 15 seconds.

I’m hosting a new TV show that will go on air in October on Arts Central. It’s called SQUIRKS! We’ve been filming from 11am to 11pm. It’s been rather fun. I’ve caught Bullfrogs, soaked in a wine bath, had a caviar facial, found out that I should eat according to my blood type and visited Supperclub (which I think it’s a wanker place).

More updates on the way.

Hey, tune in to Power 98, 6 to 10 weekday mornings and let me know what you think. Should I try harder? Or is there no point to it?

    I have been cracking my head to recall 2 places Hossen mentioned. Its a resturant and a place called 'pausibility' where you do handy-craft.

    1) The resturant has really interesting dessert, the episode showed the chef preparing a dish which has a bubble like food. The place has also a spa area.
    2) The second place is the handy-craft place called pausibility.

    IF ANYONE KNOW THE ADDRESS OF THE 2 PLACES METIONED, PLS LET ME KNOW.

    Appreciated

    hi hossan,
    it's true that if YOU'RE the listener, all you wanna do when you've got the radio on is to JUST listen to music. period.
    but then again, i guess you've got many fans out there who're also interested to know your life's happenings. perhaps it's more of trying to balance the two. what do you reckon?
    i always think having work is better than no work at all...so eventhough you're feeling lost at this moment, maybe it's just the inner you trying to nudge you to be still for a while and take a breather.
    i think only you know yourself best :)
    take care!!
