Playing ping-pong with a baseball bat

I still remember in my Jets class, we were thought to write as we speak.

Yeah right. If I write like how I speak, most of what you will hear is 'nasi lemak'. But thats not the point here.

Broadcast journalist is very much different from print journalist.

In broadcasting, we have to limit our speech and script as to not take too much time, whereas in print they can write for as much as their editors let them.

While we are banging our heads on the monitor trying to economise our words, they are losing their hairs thinking what else to say in the articles.

There's another problem I just noticed.

Since I mostly use Bahasa for writing the scripts for TV, I kept asking myself "what the *&%@ do they call this in Bahasa?" 

I'm pretty sure when I go to print, I'll ask, "ape menatang haram ni in english?"

I'll only talk on the language part, because thats the one bothering me the most, and for the fact I don't get enough anchovies with the nasi lemak here. *grrrrrr*

All in all, its fun working here. Though the hour nearing the news slot kind of hectic and desperate.
