Episode 4 - Everyone's A Critic

​Sydney to me feels just like another bustling city such as Hong Kong or Singapore, with claustophobic footpaths and full of unsmiling and unhappy people. I have visited Sydney on various occasions before filming for this episode and have never liked it unfortunately. To me, receiving great service from staff working in hospitality is important. I was shocked when people there seem to be completely caught up in the rat race and was even more shocked to experience the thronging crowds in the CBD. I am more of a laid back person who enjoys the slow life. Melbourne is fast becoming just like that which makes me go insane sometimes.
Watching last night's episode, it once again reaffirmed my understanding of the power of TV editing. While other cast members were seemingly saying all the right things on national TV, I was put out there where any viewer would come to the conclusion that Im just another highly materialistic and exceptionally high maintenance diamond digging bitch, which is furthest from the truth I may add.
On the piece "Vortex", apart from my diamond comment, I also said on camera that I am upset that multi billionaire tycoons who own mines are not giving enough back to the community and if I were such a tycoon, I would be setting up schools for the underprivileged here in Australia incorporating life skills in it's curriculum such as financial planning, social skills development, confidence building, etiquette programs, moral education and the like. These are life skills which I feel that mainstream schools today should be teaching to our younger generation so that when they leave school, they will not be in for a rude shock knowing what life is truly about. 
That said, I am doing what I can in my current capacity to help others in my own little ways and try to put a smile on people's faces and to bring laughter and joy into their lives through my friendship with them and through entertainment on TV. XOXOX
