CNA

my parents were out and i was bored with only channel newsasia (everyone's watching it) for entertainment.

apparently Indonesia's presidential aspirant susilo bambang yodhoyoro (haha! i spelt it correctly), or SBY as he's affectionately termed, is leading polls almost everywhere. it'd have been a fine coverage by CNA (for once) had CNA's Indonesia bureau chief haseenah koyakutty (yes! no mistakes again!) not spoke soooooooooo slooooooowwwlyyyyyyy. i kid you not. her speed's about three words per minute. how very devastating and sad.

glenda chong, however, is a different story. if koyakutty is three wpm, then glenda must be about 300 wpm. my dad's favourite news presenter (noooo kidding) speakssofast, she's like the bullet train of speech. i don't know if it's got to do with her stint in the US - boston university specifically - because you know americans - fastfastfast, like there's some kind of time limit. it's hard to catch what glenda's saying sometimes.

anyways, digressing a wee bit, i think glenda has so much poise. if one overlooks her tendency to steamroll her words, one discovers quite an excellent package. sorta like arnold gay (yes i cannot discuss about news presenters without mentioning my favourite)

and don't tell me arnold's married with kids. i know he's married, and just about every rumour too if you really want to know. anyways, being married only maketh the man more sexy. haha. on a sidenote, i can't discuss about local anchors without getting reminded of phyllis peter (hello, how are you) and doris nga, too.

go figure.
