For once, in a tutorial, I could grab a 2-minute nap, surf Youtube for interviews and read blogs with Denise and Vanessa! We were made to surf the net for BBC Hardtalk and that interviewer dude was so trenchant when interviewing Mahathir.
Zai.

Well, today's Basic Media Writing tutorial was so slack, it made a snail look hardworking.

After my 2 minute eyeshut, the substitute tutor (Where's Jimmy??) got us to think of interview questions for a celebrity.
So we thought hard... Which celebrity had a big scandal recently??

Michael Phelps caught smoking BONG**!
**Bong is the street name for marijuana

So Denise, Van and I came up with 8 interview questions to trash him until he feels like the greatest sinner in the world. Ok, any tabloids want to hire us?
After looking through the questions, I still feel our interview questions were too kind...

Our substitute tutor also requested us to anticipate the possible answers (or rather excuses) our celebrity interviewee would give once we give the interview. The three of us were really amused by our rich imagination about Phelps' answers.

Here is the interview which we have meticulously planned and the answers we predict Phelps would give during our slack tutorial.

Us: Do you admit that you were that person in the picture who was smoking bong?
Phelps: Yes

Us: Why did you do it?
Phelps: It was a moment of foolishness. (This is cliche but we thought most celebrities would give such a reason)

Us: You are very close to your mother. How is your mother reacting to this incident?
Phelps: She is being very supportive.

Us: As a celebrity sportsman, don't you know you're supposed to be a role model to the young?
Phelps: Yes I know. But as a human, I also make mistakes.

Us: But being a role model, you have little capacity to make mistakes. This is not your first time committing a mistake. You were caught drunk-driving in 2006 and now, for bong. What do you have to say?
Phelps: Well, you know. I'm still young. It's inevitable to make mistakes. I will learn from all these and make myself a stronger person.

Us: What would you want to say to your supporters?
Phelps: Sorry I made a mistake. Please continue to support me.

Us: How are you going to make up for your mistakes?
Phelps: I will be doing community work and training harder so as to not let my supporters, friends and family down.

Us: What are your plans for the next 3 months when you are suspended from swimming?
Phelps: I will be involved in an anti-drug campaign and share about my experience with people who are struggling with bong. I will encourage them through my sharing.

Like real. Hahaha
