All the foreign media were there and some of my Asian colleagues were there too. They were all taken interviews by the Iranian state channels and as I found out later on that they were broadcasted in the news channel and night news, I was relieved I didn't decide to let them interview me. Phew...
Meanwhile I had some quarrels again with Tokyo and with the stress controlling my temper, I was quite angry I really thought why our people do not think about working together to make something great. Are they trying to train me or humiliate me? Oh, who cares... my passion has already dispersed and I have completely lost my motivation to be a foreign correspondent in this memorial day.
I worked for the morning news, which was of course a "political" kind of news report that I detest to make the most, but since I'm paid for this, I worked on it mechanically without any emotion if not an angry sentiment.
At least I made it through the peak point and I was really happy to hear my colleague who is here in Tehran to help me was successful in the live report tonight. I really felt relieved when Tokyo was feeling fine with how the broadcast went... really relieved like hearing your son has passed the college entrance exams... (of course I don't have a son yet but I'm sure that's how you feel...)
Anyways, congratulations to the Iranian people that you have achieved many things after a great turning point in your history and I hope your advancement continues... hopefully in a way that I really would want too...
Pics of the ceremony...
