life's is like a painting, we start as a white canvas. as life goes on we paint, if it turns ugly paint over it. To do nothing, is to be nothing. So light up the world with your painting.
small talk.
Who do you run to when the only person who can make you stop crying, is the one who makes you cry? ''advertising is when the consumer goes to the toilet''

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...

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...
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.

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

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...
i apply for oxford... oxford bakti publishing house lar...not oxford university...
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.
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.

feeling something again... a feeling i have not felt for a very l o n g time. can it be true?
Happy Birthday to Seng Kuan and Tien How. May your Dreams come true... Cheers.
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.

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?
Hey Unimates, we are one month into out internship. time to go party, the one we talk about before we started our internship. Clubbing? Rock Climbing?
