Sunday night Television

i think i watch more television in my new home than when i was staying in the hostel.. partly i guess its bcos the sofa is not comfortable (you know how fussy im with sofas..) and partly cos there is usually someone there watching tv and its not always tuned to the channel that i wanna watch.. so i just dont watch tv. In fact i can count the number of times id watched tv with 1 hand. Less than 5 times in the 4 months i lived there..Whereas over here.. heh heh. watching television is a whole new ballgame altogether. Uncle n auntie has this entertainment room that has everything..and i mean everything you would expect and want in a home entertainment theatre room..i think the only thing that uncle didnt install is soundproof system, which he didnt really need since you cant hear much once you close the doors... This extraordinary phenomenon only exists in this room though i must say... The rest of the walls are paper thin and hence although the house is huge, you can still hear almost everything that is going on in the house if you actively listen. I think the people here has probably trained themselves how to tune out and block out sounds... i mean that is the only reason i can think of how they can sleep even when the tv is on, pple are talking/shouting/laughing, doors are banging etc etc..amazing. Simply amazing.

Anyway back to my television.. lol. im so so happy tat Adam won australia's 2010 masterchef competition! I think he is really talented and creative.. and the one thing that i really like and admire about him is the calmness he displays even when its simply madness around him.. I know i would be panicking if i were in his shoes during many of his toughest moments.. This ability to remain calm when hell breaks loose is something that i lack and wish to have... I truely admire him and am so so happy for him! When he publishes his cookbook next time, i will definitely buy a copy..promise!

After the finale of masterchef, i watched this new series called 'Undercover Boss'. Its a really nice show. Having the company's CEO going to the frontline of the company and working as a rookie on the job is probably the dream of most blue collar folks hey? I think that all CEOs should do that. Whats an even better way to check the feasibility of your top management policy than to be right at the receiving end, executing the very policy which you signed at the dotted line? Do the job for one day and then talk about productivity and efficiency and cutting cost.

Tomorrow night the spotlight will be on australia 7 eleven franchise. oh yea, i have a date with Ten TV 730pm. :)
