Coffee and tv

The final episode of latte@8 for season three has been shown.As the title of the show suggests,it has something to do with coffee.To cut to the chase,it's a talk show with a malaysian flavour.Here is how it works - every week,two or three guests will be invited to the show to be interviewed by the host.Basically,they will be asked on topics close to their hearts.In between the interviews,national headlines are being discussed in a humouring manner.Freebies are given away too.

Interestingly,it is held at a local starbucks outlet.Hence,one can expect plenty of coffee drinking.It is something refreshing considering that most foreign talk shows are recorded in studios.At the end of the show,there will be a performance by a local musical artiste.Usually,they come in the form of underground and up-and-coming bands.And did i tell u that the host is great fan of chelsea?I think if you cut him open,he will bleed all chelsea blue.He wore a chelsea strip for the finale by the way.

This is definitely a talk show malaysians can relate to.Unlike its foreign counterparts,the gags are much easier to understand and certainly strike a chord with the locals.More often than not,i feel at lost when i'm watching one of those american late night talk shows on satellite television.Admittingly,the jokes are funny but i found them very americanised.Something that only a typical american will appreciate it.Unless one is following the going-ons in the us of a closely,it will be headache for him or her to get the drift.

But hey,all of the above aren't the points of my ramblings here.I'm gonna dwell on a subject far more intriguing.At least as far i'm concerned.Something caught my eye when i was watching the show.It comes in the shape of a round object made of silicone and is coloured.Yup,i'm talking about wristband.The host was wearing a yellow wristband on his right wrist.All of a sudden,i have lost interest in hearing the on-going conversation between the particular guest and the host.All i did was fixing my eyes on the wristband he's wearing.

Questions started playing on my mind.'Is it a livestrong wristband he's wearing?' and 'Where did he get it from? were some of them.I was waiting eagerly for him to mention something about the wristband.Fortunately,he didn't fail me.Turned out that it is a wristband produced by the national cancer society.It's in support of the cancer patients around the world and in malaysia especially.Very much the same like the one from lance armstrong foundation.The difference is that the latter is specifically in support of testicular cancer victims.

Currently,they can be bought at all starbucks outlets nationwide and the national cancer society itself.They are sold at RM5 each.At time of writing,i have no idea what words are inscribed on the wristband. So let's rally together and wear the yellow wristband to show our support for the cancer victims.
