Middle Man Ministry

Saturday morning. A time in the week where sleeping in till late morning seems to be the best option after a hectic week at work. Breakfast seems like a meal set for extinction for many of us. Lunch would take over as the first meal of the day. For me, it wasn't an option. A day without breakfast wouldn't be a complete.

During the past few weeks, I had managed to gather some of usual hangout mates for breakfast. Not your ordinary breakfast but a table spread of delicious dim sum at one of the most famous dim sum boulevard, Sri Petaling. Eating "siew mai" and "ha ko" coupled with a soothing rich "kopi" seems to be the perfect setting for a crappy conversation. Besides, eating breakfast not only fulfill one's bottomless pit but also the thought that something was achieved at the start of the weekend.

Seeing the success it had with my pals, I decided to extend the invitation to my fellow church mates which I seldom make contac with. My initial attempt to block their calendar early in the week seem to be in vain as many had replied my SMS stating their unavailability. Despite the respond, I decided to go ahead with the plan and rope as many that I could get hold of. In the end, the company of five of myself, my sis, Lavinia, Shung and the entertainment maestro, Sean set together for our breakfast at the super crowded "Yong Chye". It was quite interesting to see the place crowded with breakfast goers let a lone a group of senior citizen who gave us a place to sit and also a pot of highly recommended Chinese tea to savour.

We sat and enjoyed our breakfast that extended till the closure of the shop until the opening another shop that sold "keng chai mai fun" and "tong sui". It was interesting to hear the producer for "One in a million" and the upcoming "A1 Grand Prix" share the nook and cranny of the entertainment world. It was simply not an easy job considering he had just return from work before meeting up.

"When it's busy, its really busy. When it's free, it's really free"

Life in TV seems to spell a routineless work culture. Meeting celebrities seems to be a norm. Mamaking with good looking Jian, playstationing with skinny Adam and writing script for the ever lucious Marion. Fun seems to sum up Sean vocation. Yet, there is intense hardwork especially when it comes to editing 8o hours of footages for an hour episode in the span of three days (that if its a good day).

Flashes of life in the media world went through my mind. It had been a dream for me. A dream that is still a dream waiting to become a reality. I had always enjoyed the life of entertainment. Maybe because tv and movies have become part and parcel of my life ever since I was young. The life of meeting various people, providing ideas for a tv show/movie, conceptualising a story, penning the lines for a character and directing a dramatic scene. However, I believe I will put these dream aside and hope one day I could come to a point in life to achieve my heart desire.
