No SUMMER RAIN in TIMOR

Phew! Glad that it was over and I was really nervous although Jennifer was gracious enough to say that I did well and that I was quite a ‘natural’. It was all spontaneous and not scripted at all. And I guessed that she meant that as she would like to have me back again on her show!

I met Coma (yes; that’s his name not a typo!) before Jennifer’s show came on and he would also like to have me one day as he is hosting a ‘Sports’ segment. He also kindly took the snapshots of us in the studio.

I was quite impressed with Jennifer’s professionalism, calmness and coolness and her years of experience showed. I should have been less nervous! Thanks Jennifer for having me on your talk show.

My entire office including the signcrafts workers downstairs of us (except for Azmi who was taking 2 guests kayaking at Krokong) were listening in to the show. Their verdict was that I did ok! My other half thought it was alright but felt that I did not answer Jennifer's questions. Perhaps I may have talent as a politician then!

Well, on the subject of air and that I managed to 'breeze' through it and survived, the same cannot be said of the API which since saturday has drifted into the unhealthy range and the haze is clearly visible where ever you drive. Time to think seriously about getting a quality air filter/purifier for the home if the situation worsens and persist.

BTW the title of this post refers to the fact that they couldn’t get ready in time the two songs that I requested which were U2’s “Summer Rain” and Shakira’s “Timor” and had to settle for Dire Straits’s ‘Walk of Life’. As it turned out we only had time for one song and there I was worried that we were going to run out of things to say!

StumbleUpon Toolbar Stumble It!

You sounded good, didn't think u were nervous. Can't stand that lady's English!!! Yucks! Errors all over! Coma's been around a long time...and his selection of songs...like he's in a coma!!! Songs he used to play 30 years ago!!!
So you made it!!! Yay!!! Do you have the recorded interview? Would like to hear it :)
Good job Unker. Sharing the joy of kayaking over the airwaves.

As for air purifier, I would say rather, the time has come to get active politically to put a stop to the stupid fires that harm our earth and people every year in SE Asia.
It doesn't surprise me at all that you were a natural on the airwaves. If you can do with your voice even half the things you do on this site (not counting the pictures, of course) you could either be a great DJ, a famous news reporter or commentator, or a politician.

Either that or you could be a guy that likes taking people out kayaking at least as much as he likes kayaking himself.

Wait a minute, that last one already applies. Never mind.
Oh braddaaa... famous alreadea lah, you...
Thank you, thank you, thank you all for all your very kind comments! MM you're making me blush! hahaha
