Tribute - Yasmin Ahmad

Yasmin Ahmad

Woke up this morning to find out that Yasmin Ahmad has passed on…
Honestly saying, the impact was greater than the leaving of Michael Jackson.

She (Yasmin Ahmad), is one person I really look up too, for the sake of Malaysia’s film industry, that she is by far I know, someone who managed to brought up the film and advertising industry in Malaysia to a greater level, greatly the eye opener to all Malaysians.

Every festive season, I will always hunt for her long ad, that I was actually waiting for the Merdeka ad, which I know for sure it will be good, and yes no question ask and no doubt about it.

Unfortunately, good things always come to an end, the greater it is, and the faster it ends. Guess I won’t be seeing any ads which will have the quality content like hers, but I hope one day when I turn on the TV, I will see some local ads which will give me the great impact as she does, in fact all the time. She was the one that I started collecting advertisements as a collection, just for the sake of watching it over and over again, and wonderful enough, you don’t get bored over it.

I don’t have to say more on why the impact is great, on every Malaysian, and I was honour to have met her in person when she gave a speech during the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, I remembered she shared this story…

“When I was having this meeting with the director for the Merdeka ad, I wanted to use this little boy as the main actor for the ad, but I got all the rejection from the directors asking why do I choose an Indian boy to be in the great Merdeka ad? I said I did not choose an Indian boy, I chose a Malaysian in the ad!”
One Little Indian Boy


Now you know?! Why?! Her films gave such great impact? We often draw lines within race in Malaysia; we often forget that we are Malaysians, which her films are those that always try best to pull our mindset back to the concept of unity. Some people said her films are controversial enough, that is why people love watching it. But I say NO, her films are true Malaysian films that Malaysia supposes to be.
Some of her great films are like... In fact I shall say all her films are good.
(Sepet, Gubra, Muallaf, Mukhsin and those festive ads that you will never want to miss)
Here are some of the videos I would like to share, just if you haven't come across to these great ads, and my A+ ranking ads too....

Background of this Tan Hong Ming advertisement.


It’s indeed the greatest loss for all Malaysians, and hope one day, we will be seeing true Malaysian films again. Yasmin Ahmad, you are greatly missed.

Down with flu

I'm again down with flu, and tomorrow is my convocation...
Wonder why I felt tired thinking of convocation, thinking of the time and energy that's gonna be drain throughout the day, gaaah!

Wanted to wear mask but I can't breath properly, already having a nose blocked, wearing another mask is gonna be like a tunnel with no exit.


This was taken when I was down with flu last month..

Drown yourself with water people!
Yes drown is the word.

Urbanscape 2009

Ok the very 1st warning is that, very few pictures (Have to steal some from Miao too), because I was rushing out and forgot to bring my camera!!!

Was there with Miao for Urbanscape, before reaching the destination, all I knew was rushing here and getting lost somewhere, making wrong turns and another few wrong turns...
*That cat was laughing at KL people getting lost in their territory... If you ever get lost in Malacca or Sarawak, even if I don't know how to draw I die die also will draw the LOL face for you ok Miao?*

So yea reached there, crowd was ok, but the very 1st thought of us is to get in some place where there is air-cond, cause the weather was freaking hot!

Basically there were little art everywhere, which I would call them IDEAS, plenty of cute little things you will get inspired for some creative deco, like

I kinda like this, maybe I will do one in my room when I shift to my new house, so can "pik che", which means chase ghost (direct translation)

I always have the love for this kind of miniature, which it's expensive to collect!

Wooohoooo love the caption of the tshirts, do you dare to wear it out? Like when meeting your love one's parents LOL


Don't you wish your necklace was nice like mine! Dont'cha!

Why things can be this cute? Why!!! Worst thing is that it doesn't belong to me!!!

*drooling*

Miao said it's good to stuff me inside, so no need to walk me around... That cat...

Whatever this is, I've no clue for what does this meant, art is always meant to be vague

The Miao with that Japanese style (camera hanging around the neck)


These are some of the stolen pictures from Miao

This is art people! ART! Accepting bra hanging out nowhere!

The stoodles reminded me of Raving Rabbits, those crazy rabbits!

Finally, the cow with the jester hat and Miao
(Why am I the cow, better ask Miao, I've no idea)


Next year Urbanscape! Must go again! But wallet must be loaded with cash too, weeheeee!!!

5th July 2009 12.14am

The title of this post, makes me felt like I am writing some daily report, wadafak...

I realized I've been falling asleep so easily, and the worst is, I am falling asleep some part of my home, not only my bedroom...

This is me waking up at 12am in the hall, and 4 misscalls on my mobile.
"Ei sorry I fall asleep again, I think it's a sleeping curse, someone cast a spell on me!!!"

"Oh nvm, already suspected you fell asleep somewhere in your house, thank god it's not in the toilet or something ke..."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another call came in while...
"Oi you sleep already? MSN no reply? I scared you fall asleep on the computer desk..."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I think I need some therapy to cure this, or seek some bomoh ke apa...
>.<

Well... Ji mui(s) were at Macau while I am in Malaysia, how can!
Had a webcam session with them while I was in the midst of rushing some work, worth it ok! Both of them are my more than a century old buddies, seriously, they are more than diamonds or what so ever treasure on earth.


Just a random post, no typical updates, actually there are plenty to update, just that... I hate my keyboard, it's so difficult to type, maybe that's why... *giving excuses*

OK Urbanscape up next! Featuring Miao and Jester >.<

About the haircut thingy, I will really go for a haircut, soon! Weeheee...
Staying home on a Saturday night with some smooth music, me love...

I need a haircut

Getting bored of my hairstyle now, I guess I need a little bit of change!
There are times when I bump into some old friends, the first ever thing they just have to say is " Hey you still look the same!..." While on the other hand I have friends changing hairstyle like drinking water, ish!

Ok so now, I'm still thinking what hairstyle suits my face...
If I'm skinny and my face is sharp enough, I'll definitely go for a super short hairstyle that I can style, but well...

These are some of the few hairstyles I had before... Yes I have never do any digital perm or what so ever to my hair, and it's the first time I dyed my hair, and it was like beginning of this year, coz no $$$ lah,and I don't have the patience to keep my hair long for the princess looking curly hair...

I remembered I was whining about my short hair, that I wish I will wake up again with my long hair! But then now the length of my hair is persuading me to the saloon for a short hair, back to what I had months ago...

This is another candid of my short hair, which a lot of my friends said I looks better with short hair...

This was like 3 years back, and the only few picture I can find with my abit long hair...


So so so... Shall I like keep my hair long and maybe do a little perming or cut it short again? Can't really decide at the moment, once felt the urge to cut fringe too!!! Ada apa advice?!
Weeheeee!

There goes Andy Lau's classic

This is someone you guys know!
Was ordered to censored his name, hahahahah!

Nick Vujicic

There are times in life, you will have tough moments, moments that made your negative thoughts gone wild, and lead to giving up and do nothing.

When you fall, some tried standing up, and gave up. Well some don't even try and certified their lost to the fall. But some, they never give up in standing back up.
So which one do you think you are? Or which one do you think you wanna be?

I remembered when I was having lunch at Shanghai 10 with the nuffies, Nic showed me an email, which is quite true to read, it's asking how will you want to do when you face problems.

I've seen people, with all the things they needed from the physical, but I guess, we are just not well equip with the inside spirit, the courage, to do wonders, to go extra mile for themselves. On the other hand, there are some people out there, might not have the complete set of physical outlook, but the courage and fighting spirit can be so much more stronger than us.

Here a video clip of Nick Vujicic, a man with no arms and legs, he is basically only a square with his head. If you were one of Nick Vujicic case, imagine what things can you do, without your arms and legs. Probably thinking you can't even eat, drink, dressed up, bath, walk,or even giving a hug, all the basic things that we are doing now, that we never realize that there are people out there can't even do such basic act, and shame on us whining about how much we wanted to give up, and they are the ones showing us giving up is not going to help...
I appreciate people like this, and they are the people that gives me the inspiration, when I fall and needed strength to stand up again.



Please watch the clip, you will find really good inspiration for life.


Cheers people, and finish it strong!

What is he doing?

Still waiting to get the Tiger Party pictures, I know I took some pictures with some bloggers, if there is any, please pass it to me? Or drop me your URL, so I can visit your blog and get the pictures too, hehehe...
At the mean time...
Maybe you can come out a creative tagline for this picture...
See who is the most creative tagline get to walk away with Nicholas's kiss...
Hahahaahah!!!
The contest shall begin!

Quick send in your creative taglines!!!

Speedy Gonzalez : Join The Pact

Especially in Klang Valley, even when you own a damn good sports car, you just don't seems to have the chance to speed, mainly because there are two barriers stop us from speeding.

1. It's definitely the traffic! It jams all the way from point A to not even point B yet, maybe point A.5, you freaking need more time to reach the destination that it might only takes you half an hour?

2. It's when the road is clear once in a blue moon, and when you thought it's the good time to have your engine to make some noise and do a little speedy thing..... The front awaits you usually are the speed traps and there goes, you pay RM300 for a little speed.

So... Conclusion is, Malaysians like us, not like other countries where we have the government getting the people to be summon if they drive too slow, do not really get the chance to be in a speeding car, but well... I am now not talking about normal speed car, what is 150km per hour man? It's more on being on a rocket, far more, imagine having a ride on the F1 cars, where you can only drool over TV or feel the impact in your dreams, yes your dream is coming true, YOU REALLY HAVE TO RIDE ON THIS!

Johnnie Walker is making dreams come true, promoting the Don't Drink & Drive campaign, on top of that, the surprise is
