Have you ever wanted something SO bad you could just cry? *sigh* I'm wanting a certain job right now (in Singapore) SO bad I'm like, totally, freaking out. I got an email saying I should call them, so I did. No answer. I'll have to call back. I've been praying for a job in Singapore ever since I LEFT in 2001. It has been over a year now and I'm still in Malaysia. Just HOW hard is it to get a freaking job in television production in Singapore!!!??
Well, I was offered a job at a production house that did documentaries in Singapore in November '02, but I turned them down....they seemed like total assholes....but I'm trying not to kick myself in the ass every time I think about it. I mean, it was seriously EXACTLY what I'd been waiting for...for a year...but I just couldn't bring myself to accept a job with people I didn't like...good move, right? I mean, what's the point in having a so called "dream job" when you don't enjoy the people you're working with?
So, now it's all about the waiting game....once again....I'm supposed to be working for a Malaysian production house right now....I haven't signed their contract yet because I'm still waiting on Singapore....and there is TV station that wants to hire me here in KL as well...so...I have two confirmed options and one in question...the one I really WANT! I'm SO nervous about the second interview...I mean, how on earth do you prepare for the job of your dreams? How do you possibly do that calmly? (I'm a MAJOR worry wart so...this is normal behavior for the Lydster). But hey, maybe when I actually meet the rest of their team...I won't like them and maybe what they offer me won't be so desirable after all...I guess I can't get my hopes up TOO much...just in case. Deep down inside though, I'm hoping it will be PERFECT...not too much to ask the Universe, I think....a simple request, for a simple girl... *blink* *blink*

Ok...I think I confused some people about Kimi Raikkonen...he's NOT my real boyfriend....ha ha...he's an F1 driver! If only.......
YES! My new found F1 boyfriend won yesterday....ahhhhhhhhhhhh.....Kimi....(he's only 23, not too young for me) I never liked the F1, anytime Andy had it on the TV I would heave a heavy sigh and go find something else to do for three hours. I found it quite boring to watch, it's not as exciting as tennis or soccer...but since I went yesterday...I can finally understand the excitement of fast cars racing around a track for two hours. WOW! What a thrill. And boy did I need the earplugs! DAMN, was it loud!
So many of us watch sports on tv but never really get to experience the event in the flesh, and It always makes a significant difference to attend a sports event in person....it personalizes the whole thing....the sweat, the sun, the screaming fans, huge Ferarri and Mclaren flags blowing in the wind with proud flag bearers standing at attention, hoping their heroes will catch a glimpse of their devotion (faces painted as well)....I could literally FEEL the energy all around me, a different shout-out for each of the racers as they cruised by....there had to be at LEAST 10,000 people there yesterday....it's a million times better when you go to the stadium, the tennis court, or the F1 circut...
The Royal Malaysian Air Force put on an exciting show as well...they flew SO low to our section..I was so worried.....those fighter jets were actually LOUDER than the F1 cars! It's quite a sight when 6 giant planes ZOOM by you at 750 kilometers per hour! Amazing!
