Iron woman you are.

Dearest mom,
you brought me here, you taught me how to be here.
thank you for everything.
you are the greatest. Superhuman abilities you have to have taken care of me.

the weekend was both exciting and unlucky. Why unlucky? I had a bad tooth ache during the photo walk and i realize i lost my wallet when i got home from the walk in KL. Just went to the dentist this morning and he gave me 2 option extract the teeth or do a root canal. I chose the latter. Extract cost rm55, root canal cost rm400. haha..so i call my dad and ask how, he chose the latter too. Thank God. A missing tooth wont not look so nice on me.

some info on the root canal or also call Endodontic therapy.
Endodontic therapy is a sequence of treatment for the pulp of a tooth whose end result is the elimination of infection and protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial
invasion
. from wiki.

the doctor told me in world war 2 they use something like the procedures above to torture the enemy. Drilling a hole in the teeth and inserting a metal wire. Ouch!!! With 32 teeth to drill, your darkest secret also will be found out. It @!#%^%&* painful without
Lidocaine, a commonly used local anesthetic.

Woman woman...lolx. humorous ad for Panadol Menstrual. A full visual ad to pass the message. But i feel making it more local would be better. Like local police cars and a local area, the ad look very foreign. Still a good ad though. Me like. Your thoughts?


advertisements from the past.
The war rages on...
Malaysian Hospitality vs Now Everyone can Fly. Everyday Low Fares(zero fares) vs Sub Zero Fares.
Our Malaysian Airlines company are going head to head to get us, the customer. As long as they don't lose money please do continue. One thing though both their ads for the zero fares are crappy for me. my 0.02cent lor. So when are the bus company doing it? Jom people...Jalan-jalan makan Angin. Local if possible. =P

On Asia Pacific Advertising Festival (AdFest) 2008, Against all odds, Malaysia Radio creative has rise to the occasion. Winning Best of Show at the recently concluded AdFest Awards show in Pattaya, Thailand. This is the first time a Malaysian Radio commercial has won such a high accolade. Remember Kancil Awards, when all the Executive Creative Director (ECD) were saying how bad and awful Radio ads were. Things have change..Yea. The "Best of Show" radio commercial was Colgate 360 toothbrush, produced by Y&R Malaysia and AMP Radio Networks. Congrats to them. But i never of the ad yet. anyone heard this ad? or is it a scam ad? (report theSun, AdFest)
To local news, do you all know that our National Service (NS) have claim 16 life to date and 15 of them is because of delayed medical treatment. What are the medical officer doing? or there are no such things? The deputy prime minister said last Saturday that the government will outsource health check-ups for the NS trainees. I don't understand why. Is he implying that government hospital and clinic are incompetent to do it or just trying to earn more under table money? This is just so saddening and disappointing, the trainees have so much to live for, and to be taken away so young. To the government please please do something... (Report here)

the KL photo walk post will come later when i sort out the photos. thank you.
