I know I'm suppose to write about the freaky incident I had in the newsroom on Thursday night. But, forget about it okay? This one's tons more interesting than that half freaky, half technical glitch incident.
If you are an avid viewer of CNA, you should know that TODAY does live cross-over from the newsroom every Friday night to pitch our weekend paper. So, it was Justin's turn to get on TV tonight (I dunno why but, he's the sub-editor & normally it's the reporter whose story is appearing on the front page on our weekend's that'll do the 1-minute fame thingy on CNA. Anyway...I think the cover story's about Singapore Idol by Elisa.) So, the cross-over ended at about 10:30pm & after viewing the tape we recorded, we went back to our routine work. Then....the news hotline rang. Jas picked it up & immediately I know it's some psycho that called up. (We don't usually get phonecalls after 9pm you see. Unless it's from our own people "up there") She hanged up & she said, "Justin! Someone by the name of Danny is looking for you. He says you know his number because he's your ex-boyfriend. He ask who is the boy on CNA just now? Can I speak to him?" Along came everyone's laughter & Justin's puzzled look.
10 minutes later, the phone rang again & I picked it up. It's Danny again. "Hi! Is Justin back?" (We told him Justin's away from his desk the first time round.)"Who's this calling? He's not around." "Ohh...I'm Danny." "I'll get him to call you? Can you leave down your number?" "Ohh...he has my number, he's my ex-boyfriend. Can you get him to call me?" "Okay sure!" "Thanks!" "Welcome! Bye!" Sounding chirpy, I ended the call. LOL! I'm a big time sadist who's immuned to silly calls made by brainless+irritating+persistent = PRs & cranky Gahmen haters who can rattle on & on like a broken recorder. *rolls eyes*And stupid NGEEEEEEE GAAAAU (features editor) had to worsen things by making 2 other prank calls. He disguised as James, asking for Justin's contact because he wants him as the lead in his upcoming blue film. Jasmine freaked out & so did I. Then, we traced the number & realised it's an internal number. ARSEHOLE! The 3 of us almost wanted to call the police....NGEEEEEEE GAAAAU admits he's "James" but he swears Danny is not him. He was inspired by Danny to do the James blue film thingy. So, if Danny REALLY do exists, it's really freaky. He sounds damn bloody girlish by the way. He's either a transvestite or a fucking G-plate holder. Eeeeee...GROSS!
A weekend paper doesn't mean a weakened paper. Weekend TODAY's free, are you? =P (contributed by the corniest reporter in the newsroom + NGEEEEEEE GAAAAU)
*NOTE: The Justin mentioned HERE & the Justin who always drop by HERE is a total different person. Just to make sure you get the facts right. =P
