small talk.

Who do you run to when the only person who can make you stop crying, is the one who makes you cry?

Dilemma...

eight weeks into my internship... Advertising isn't everything i have imagine, maybe i had a really high expectations or maybe i am in the wrong line again. But studying advertising was the only time i felt happy studying, happy doing assignments. Its a dream come true for me to have my internship in the current company. But maybe this is just an internship, so i may have not experience what advertising is really all about. Its fun and working is great, but it feel as in something is missing. Maybe i should try event management or maybe PR...i dunno... lost again =P


Last weekend was really great, very contrasting. Drinking Friday, Partying Saturday, and a Butoh dance on Sunday. Will blog about it soon, when i am in the mood..hehe...

An ad i found online recently. forgotten which agency did it. But the idea and execution is darn good. Simple and straight forward. iLike.

1/2 way.

Half way through my internship, i think. Enjoying myself with the work and of cause the play. Learning lots, partying quite a lot too..hehe. My bosses RoCks!!! They so nice, even though i get scold sometime but they still the best, they always make sure i learn something. Getting quite bored with the food around my work place though. haha..thats remind me, i want my ''Malaysian FOod" i don't want to go try other cuisines. I form a new metaphor today, i think its call a metaphor. You know when you see something the first time and its like WTF..so cacat, but after a while it become more and more pretty or yeng? i call that like a Vios. haha...the new Vios...

The water in the money collection boxes gets closer to the young boy more money is dropped into the container.
Advertising Agency: TBWA\Singapore

Superb execution of a great idea in my opinion, but maybe a bit more information on what the campaign about, whats unicef doing or even a website would have been better. Still i think it would bring the $$$ in, I'm sure everyone don't mind parting with their changes for a good cause. An almost similar idea but not here.
To demonstrate DHL’s inexplicable ability to deliver on time regardless of conditions, this outdoor piece dominated MTR escalators across Hong Kong. The areas either side and between the escalators were covered with giant bird’s-eye view of Hong Kong highway jam-packed with stationary traffic. The moving handrails then acted as a fast lane with a steady flow of little yellow DHL vans racing past.
Advertising Agency: Ogilvy & Mather, Hong Kong

The execution could have been better i guess, look kinda mess up/clutter. Maybe bigger cars, less lanes, i dunno lar =P The idea is brilliant though, the message is in your face. We are fast.

everyday...

Agency: DDB, South Africa
Creative Director: Gareth Lessing
Art Director: Julie Maunder
Copywriter: Kenneth van Reenen
Photographer: Clive Stewart

I'm keeping myself busy, to feel happy. how freaking sad is that...

everyday i wish you would pick up your Telekom and call me.
everyday i wait for your message from your Samsung.
everyday i dream that thing will be like last time, a dream come true.
everyday i hope to catch a glimpse of you, a shadow would be enough.
everyday i long to hold you with my arm, feeling you close to my heart.
everyday i close my eyes i see your smile in my imagination, your big eyes looking at me.
everyday i want to be like an Eskimo, rubbing our nose together.

everyday my heart breaks, to know you not around anymore.
everyday is yesterday.

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

Well I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?
