デビューしました、日本テレビ番組で

XP

After a long battle in the afternoon fighting for class vacancies, I joined gm in her shopping at Venusfort, where there was a new opening for the 3rd level stores. And then, after some shopping (her more than me), we walked out of a store only to be approached by this man wearing a name tag around his neck.

He asked if he could ask us some questions.

My reaction was "Sorry but we are not Japanese."

Yet he persisted and asked if he could ask us just 2 questions, and that it was for Japanese tv.

I thought it would be fun to do a survey and agreed to it.

To my surprise, he did an ok sign to some people a distance away, and within seconds, a crew of like...5 people surrounded us. O.O So, it wasn't a survey but more of an interview, with a camera crew, mics and even a translator. The translator asked if we could speak Chinese, and so, from then she started to translate questions from the MC into Chinese. Though her Chinese isn't very good, but it's definitely good enough for her to be understood. I could also make sense of most of the questions the MC asked, so everything went on quite smooth.

Basically the questions are about where we were from, how long and why we came to Japan, what we bought today, how much they costed and why we bought them. And then, we had to pose for a super long shot with all the stuff we bought in our hands. I'm glad that they caught us when we were early in our shopping, because we only had one bag then. If they had came to us later...

When the filming ended, we started to converse randomly and they asked if I understood Japanese. Apparently, they think it's amazing to know more than one language. We ended off with them being super surprised that me and my gm aren't siblings; they had thought that I was her younger sister!!! OMG...do I look so old? I mean, this isn't the first time someone said that. T.T

It was a fun experience, though I won't get to watch the program as I've got no idea what it's called and which tv station they worked for. But oh well, if one of my Japanese neighbours see someone awkward looking from Singapore on a fashion show shot in Venus Fort, that's most probably me!
