An evening with the stars @ Mediacorp

Hey guys, so if you guys didn’t know my family & I were on television last night! I’m here to share this once in a lifetime experience with you.

Filming

On the 27^th of January my brother and I were just walking home from school when, the camera crew said “ Ok can you guys walk back up? We’re going to film you guys.” We did the same thing 3 times before we cloud go up to our apartment! After reaching home the producer said “ We’re going to interview you in 10 minutes .”  So I decided not to shower in order to save time. During my interview, I had to speak in Chinese, which was no easy task for me, thank god for the Chinese classes during my PAP days. Ha Ha. The filming was over and I so excited for the day of the live show.

The Big Night

The day of the show came, I was so happy to be on tv.  After returning from my cousin’s birthday party I took a short nap before going to the studio. At  4:45, the bus came to pick us up to send to us the studio here’s the funny thing the bus was empty, I kind of felt like the bus was our limo LOL. When we arrived we were escorted to the viewing where we had our dinner. After dinner we went to sit down on our seats. I kept going to the washroom, so they changed my seat closer to the exit. When my story came on tears were coming down from my eyes. After the show we managed to get our picture taken with one of the cast member of Point of Entry. It was a fun Now I’m famous lol.

A day at the Discovery Centre

Last Saturday, I woke up at seven in the morning because I had to go on an outing to the Discovery Centre with a social worker from Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD) and volunteers from Freedom Adventure Club.

We took a bus and arrived at the Science Centre at around 9.30am. The entrance fee was not cheap at $13 per person. Nonetheless, I did not have to pay a single cent. We went into the Discovery Centre and looked at the exhibits. The first exhibit was one I liked a lot. I had to pretend to a reporter and try to report old news stories with the words speeding at 10 km/h on screen! It was so fast I could not even say a thing! Despite that, it was great fun because we could play back our recordings!!! There was another attraction which caught my eye. It was called the Singa-Bot. It was a robot which could answer all our questions about Singapore and even dance and rap!

“Why are Singaporeans so obese?” I asked Singa-bot cheekily, not expecting it to have an answer.

“It must be the nasi lemak they eat every morning,” replied Singa-bot, much to my surprise and amusement.

I thought of Mr. Lee, my language teacher at school, and wondered if he ate nasi lemak every morning! He probably eats nasi lemak then sleeps every morning to maintain that round figure of his haha!

Following that, I went to the Army Museum within the Discovery Centre. There were displays of tanks and guns. In fact, there was a display of a hundred rifles at the entrance of the Museum and they could be “fired” electronically. I also found out what NS men have to go through in order to protect our country.  One of the most interesting exhibits was a slideshow that showed how Singapore could collapse in twenty years if we don’t grow our own food, have our own electricity or water. I understood what the message meant and believe that Singapore should be less dependent on other countries for necessities like food, electricity and water.

Finally, we watched a 3D show called Tornado Alley. We followed the world-famous storm chasers on their latest mission to find out more about what causes tornadoes and storms. It was an exciting show!

Before we took the bus home, we had lunch. To my surprise, it was something that was mentioned earlier this morning – nasi lemak! It was lip-smackingly delicious and I imagined Mr. Lee drooling over it. Mr. Lee wasn’t there to enjoy it! Too bad!

Overall, it had been a great trip and I thoroughly enjoyed myself!SPD's website FAC
