Anyway, another pissi-fying thing was the NKF show... I hate it because...

1) The hosts/artistes all take out their phone and try and coerce people in the studio to all call together. I know it worked in a show quite long ago... but this things loses it novelty when you overused it... and having it in ALMOST EVERY segment DOES NOT MAKE IT EFFECTIVE!

2) I don't dig death-defying stunts.. Does Jeff Wang wanna get permanent brain damage from smashing his skull through 2 wooden planks??? And what's with the height thing? I seriously don't get the 'Save Kym Ng' ploy... Lame actions, maybe it would work on an episode of Fear Factor... Perhaps if they had a storyline to go with it.. instead of a stunts thingee, it would be more palatable.

3) I detests it when the hosts keeps on yabbering when the artistes are performing difficult stunts... Can't they just SHUT THEIR TRAPS and let the artistes concentrate??? It's liek an irritating fly buzzing in the background. I find it bloody irritating when they go on and on about how dangerous it is and how you should call... Yeah.. I dun see a correlation! In fact, I think it may even compromise on safety standards as it causes concentration lapses.

4) What's with keeping the artistes hanging upside down for a longer period of time just to get more calls in? Who's gonna be freaking responsible if sth should happen. You could see veins popping out of their forehead and that Timothy Cao was still going like 'Let's keep them hanging longer so that more calls will come in.' If he likes it so much, he can hang there himself then...

5) I don't like NATO hosts... can anyone tell me whether Timothy Cao has done stunts to raise money. He just talks and talks and talks... going on and on abt how much the artistes are suffering, prolonging their suffering...

6) I dun like Timothy Cao (as if it was not evident from the above 2 points). He came up with the 'brilliant' idea to have the local celebs plea and beg for 'One More Call Please' just so that they can hit one million calls. I think that was a stupid move and they looks spastic...

7) I don't really fancy hearing a sob story on someone who is struck with kidney failure hen having my dinner because it makes me feel quesy... I know they are playing on pathos... but maybe if they show it later... or sth...

8) The show gets dragged on with the hosts repeating their lines just to hit the desperate mark of 1 million calls. Couldn't they get Celest Chong to sing a song from her album or prepare another small segment instead of just standing there and begging? The number of calls will hit 1 million. It just depends on what time the show ends! Actually I think if Zoe Tay had bothered to drive down to caldecott Hill and made a 'surprise' appearance, the calls may go up...

I seriously believe that if Mark Lee and Gurmit Singh had a longer segment, they would have raised more money... I enjoyed they segment the most... cause it was simple and entertaining.

The musical 'fountain' thing was nice too...

I'm not saying we should not donate.. it is just that some of their actions are nauseating... I understand they need money to sustain operations and for giving kidney patients a subsidy and stuff... Having had a lot of calls last week, they should expect that there would be less this week... and after a while, the stunts are stale... nth really fazes the audience anymore and I don't think making it more dangerous would help.

Where are all the local singers? All stuck in Taiwan? Shouldn't they do a part for this show?

Can't believe I missed Kate and Leopold because of that... Sigheth.. I believe I would feel happier if I had watched it!
