From Batu Caves to VIP Funerals…
The last 2 days have definately been the busiest and most exciting days of my life…
On Wednesday, it was Thaipusam…My australian intern friend and i went to Batu Caves…took the train there…although it wasnt as crowded as i expected it to be, it was very tiring…we climbed all the way to the top to shoot a few scenes and get down to interview people and do lots of other interesting stuff…overall, it was a good shoot…but it was really tiring…
Yesterday, i was supposed to go to Central Market to shoot the shop thats selling the Lingam shirts…Unfortunately, one of the ministers died…had to go shoot his funeral…first time im actually attending a muslim funeral…a lot of VIPs were present…Big names include Najib, Samy Vellu, Liong Sik, Ka Ting, Perak MB, Melaka Yang Di Pertua, KJ and of course the biggest honour for me was to film the Raja Muda of Perak…he came also…i really enjoyed the experience…being pushed by body guards and other cameraman just to get a good shot…this is what being a reporter is all about i guess…my only regret is that i couldnt film former PM Tun Dr.Mahatir…by the i came, he had left…damn…well, at least i got to film his wife at the cemetary…Some of the VIPs were friendly…there was this one guy…i cant remember his name but very familiar…he spoke to me, asked about me course and all…what he should have asked is whether i needed any scholarship fundings…haha…
anyways, i enjoyed myself…tiring but fun…and since most of my staff are on emergency leave, im now the official stand by cameraman…haha…well, in other words, im more like a full time staff compared to an intern…they already want me to extent my intern so i can be around for elections…lets see how it goes…
end.
