Introducing canned Malaysian...

...only for a limited period only(rush hour). Actually its been here for awhile, its called the Malaysian Public Transportation. Today I decided to take the LRT to KLCC in the morning to avoid the traffic jam. I was like at the Taman Bahagia Station at 7.15 am, and boarded the train. It was already almost full, thank goodness i boarded at Taman Bahagia because the next station, Crap...there was lines of people to get in the train, that is when I started to feel like canned tuna. People was just forcing themselves into the train, i didn't have to hold on anything, because i couldn't move anyway. =P Another thing is the train was especially quiet, i thought Malaysian were one of the friendliest people around?? I could even hear music from the person MP3 player few feet away from me.

Thanks goodess our beloved Prime Minister of Malaysia recently decided to try it out first hand, how it feel like using the superbly flawed and over crowded public transportation. So now, he is force to do something about it, cause he just open a can of worms. If he dont improve it soon, its going to be bad for his PR, which by the way been going down the drain...with the rain water...
Today is also the last day of the ''lovemarks'' training. It was really an eye blowing(because some of the things they did with lovemarks brands was crazy), mind opening(I learned to see things in a different light) session. I learned so much about brands and how to understand people(consumer), but now comes the hard part putting it into practice and remembering it... Thank You Saatchi, you are my Lovemark.

Dreams dont retire...

lovebite...

Not so sexy ler...today i help record the ''Lovemark" workshop. Its a 2-day training session for creatives, planners and suits for the agency i interning in. Whats the first thing i learn today. Its don't strive to be a success, but strive to be of value... understand?

Lovemarks what and why...
  • Brands are built on Respect. Lovemarks are built on Love and Respect
  • Brands create loyalty for a reason. Lovemarks create Loyalty Beyond Reason.
  • Brands are owned by managers, marketers and shareholders. Lovemarks are owned by the people who love them.
  • Brands drive solid performance. Lovemarks ignite performance, share, intention, margin and return.
  • Great brands are Irreplaceable. Lovemarks are Irresistible.
haha...again..will update the post next time. Really sorry for all the half written post. i just feel like writing something but at the sametime don't feel like writting. So its To Be Continue...

after our's...

Today i went for the play ''after our's'' directed by Helena Foo presented by KLPac. Its the 1st show of the 3 part series of The Curious Residency. The link here.

synopsis:
After Our's
is an edgy relationship comedy about several couples from all walks of life having troubled conversations. A humorous yet honest look at the complexity of modern day relationships, through witty dialogue and compromising situations, the play takes us from the beginning of a relationship to the aftermath of one, examining every stage in between the drama, heartache and confusion.
The play was really quite explicit and vulgar at some part, but its still really good and funny. Acting was great as usual.

What i learned from it?? haha...sometime being an Asshole is a gift. =P and Love is like a guessing game, sometime you get it right and you get a fairytale ending that goes like..they live happily ever after. If you get it wrong, welcome yourself to Nightmare at Elm Street.
Love is like standing on the edge of the water and you decide to jump, without knowing whether its shallow or deep when you reach the bottom. Smash...ouch, paralyse from the neck down if its shallow. If its deep, welcome to a whole new world under the sea, you may find Nemo, SpongeBob, may even get to swim with little mermaid or if the shallow water didnt get you, meet Jaws and if you are lucky hop away with a missing leg...
Love is like those carnival games, some games where everyone wins and some game only the luckiest or most talented wins. The games everyone wins but the prize is just a lousy plastic key chain, its like lust at first sight and after sex...its end there. The game that only the luckiest or most talented win..thats love where two people meet and sparks fly and they work hard to keep it that way. Its like wining the biggest prize at the carnival. A big stuffed Hippopotamus?

does anyone actually understand what i just wrote above??
disclaimer i don't promote the actions in the play.

Recently i attended another movie premiere, it the thai movie ''Ghost House". dont watch it at cinema unless you like me get a free tickets. Also attended an event by Sloggi "Art for Humanity" Pictures and elaboration will come later...

a truly exceptional Beijing Olympic...

Most memorable Olympic by far, haha...but i only started showing interest during Athens 2004 so this is only the second Olympic i followed closely. To see China's rise and its ongoing transformation from what i knew about China till the Olympic now is a amazing journey and achievement for China..from a communist state to a dunno what state now...in my opinion. With their amazing architectural marvels like the Bird Nest and Bubbles thingy, AmaZing!!! The amount of volunteers involve, just crazy. Not to mention those beautiful, tall and slender board bearers(holding the white board with the country name on it).

To the sports, our hero Lee Chong Wei, winning the first silver medal for singles badminton. Congratulations Datuk. It was kinda let down though for me, to lose so tamely. My Malaysian Hero would be Cyclist Azizul Hasni Awang. Super cool wheelie to make the quarter final but ended with a rousing sprint against world champion Chris Hoy in the individual quarterfinals. Cheers to you Azizul...

Ulsain Bolt..the lighting bolt. Left all his competitors behind, them wondering what just bolt pass..haha.. Just can't stand him celebrating before the finishing line, showboating is okie..but celebrating before you finish?? show some respect lar... A great runner anyway.

Michael Phelps...Weeeeeeeee.....
haha..thats all for now..will update this post later...

Death Race, Jason Statham and Joan Allen headline remake of the Roger Corman classic.
That was the premiere i went to at Cineleisure@Damansara, Thanks to LeePoh. The movie is so so only, unless you like over the top mayhem, gore, blood and destructions. The storyline is there, the car look like car from a junkyard with guns on it. The only thing i got from it is a new wallpaper for my computer picture of "Case" play by Natalie Martinez, the navigator for Jason. Sizzling...

sweet shit.

internship is ending soon, final report due after the soon. i think i learn much more about advertising during my almost 3 months internship than 2 years plus in the university. I learn a lot about advertising rules and mass comm theories in uni but nothing compare to real life experiences in an ad agency. So please choose wisely when applying for internship, choose a company that you think which give you the best training. Don't settle for second best. To tell you the truth I was darn fortunate to get into the agency i am interning now, cant thank them enough for giving me this opportunity to learn and build friendship with amazing people. Thank you.

a boring curtain raiser...

darn lucky not to see red...
Man Utd have won the first silverware of the new season, picking up the FA Community Shield at Wembley after beating Portsmouth 3-1 on penalties. Awful penalty misses from Lassana Diarra, Arnold Mvuemba and Glen Johnson ensured United won the trophy in an anti climax ending. I expected better...

As the 2008/09 season draws ever closer, i still miss you.... =P

leaving on a jet plane....

eating at boathouse@TTDI. Last Friday was my big boss farewell, also known as Viking Warlord, i dunno why...but its not because he came from the land of the vikings thats for sure, cause he from the land of the All Black and the haka... Boathouse@TTDI is a cosy neighborhood restaurant, that served a extensive range of Western delicacies (i use delicacies cause it look like dishes you on a high class cook show) to Local delights. The dishes i ate were all great. raw beef was weird though... The beer...simply refreshing.. =P


never too early for some drinkS

Later was an office farewell party with more booze and a screening of a video of his time in the company, and what people will miss about him.

Aliyaa Bar & Restaurant was the after party, nice place with a good live band. Skyy Vodka..is Awesome....
Highlight of the night was, my big boss introducing me to the company regional creative director, and telling him that he see in me the same passion for advertising as him. WoW...me having the same passion as the regional creative director...WOW...

Short+Sweet Malaysia 2008

There's a virus a-blowing in this direction - the wildly successful 10-minute theatre festival which kicked off in Sydney 8 years ago has terrorised Melbourne and Singapore and is making its way to Kuala Lumpur!
Over two weeks, Short+Sweet Malaysia 2008 will premiere 30 all-new, 10-minute plays, a showcase of bite-sized dramatic treats by some of the best established and emerging writers, directors and talents in Malaysia and across the globe. Competition will be fierce as the panel of industry judges will select which plays get a spot in the Gala Final. Audiences will also get to vote for their favourite play to put it in the running for the People's Choice Award!
Comedy, tragedy, mystery, suspense and maybe even the odd bit of food thrown in, it's high-drama 10 minutes at a time! Quite frankly, we wouldn't have it any other way...

I went for it today, its the premier. It was money well spend, i think i didn't pay enough... Yes its that good, you wouldn't mind paying more. The acting was superb, the emotion the actor showed was so real you could feel it. The voice projection, the witty lines, the jokes, wooohoo..the swearing..it makes swearing sound so elegant(serious). Even though it's short plays, every single play was 101% satisfaction. Drama at its best...

I highly recommend you all not to miss it.

i never had a dream come true, till the day i found you... you will always be my monkey. where ever life bring me to, a part of me will always be with you.
