Was at KLCC area, and was taking some pictures with Melvyn and Jose. Then we asked an elderly couple to help us take some pics (which were terrible!) hahahaa…

When asked where they were from, they replied, “LIVERPOOL!”

I immediately bombed them, “One of the lousiest football team in teh world!” Hahahaa… then Melvyn brought me to my senses before I blew up with stupid comments!

When I think back, I thought it was quite insensitive. After all, they are elderly couples in retirement. How can I be so selfless, heartless and critisize the city they’re from, when they have an awesome University and nice vibrantculture?

Then, upon second reflection, I thought to myself. I’m “merely” showing them the Malaysian passionate football culture. We like their football, we like their flare. I think it was within the limits allowed. No profanities, just a light-hearted joke.

Shows the tolerance, and accomodating nature of Malaysians.

Then again, I might have painted a dark image of Man United supporters? I thought I was being passionate. But I guess it was at other’s expense.

If I go Liverpool, they say “Eh, your Malaysian food is rubbish” I’ll just nod and politely smile! RIGHT?

At the end of the day, would I do it again? I think, yes… but maybe to a more younger audience. Then of course, I would be subjected to a good whacking, if he’s an aggressor!! LOL!

KLCC :) Sunday.

Here it is!

US$499 (~RM 2000 when arrive in Malaysia) eta 1 April 2010

This is the 16GB version, which is the one you should get. Don’t pay apple more for unnecessary storage!!!!!

Hmm… very reasonable prices. Time to save up the cash for the device + accessories + dock + case!

Fire Tiger – Years 1926 and 1986

Expressive, vibrant and a bit eccentric, Fire Tigers are always looking at the positive side of every situation. Because they’re able to generate excitement in others, they’re considered excellent leaders. When Fire Tigers speak, others listen – and do what they’re told!

I was told that zodiacs and horoscopes use very general vague language to suit as many people as possible. This results in high “hit rates” when it comes to matching your personality. Oddly though, I wish to believe this analysis! hahaha..

and of course another element is….

Wood Tiger – Years 1914 and 1974

Not feeling the need to be in charge, Wood Tigers work well with others. Others enjoying being around Wood Tigers because they’re very giving individuals. They’re compassionate and willing to do whatever is necessary to help others.

Ha ha ha…

OH, check out this Facebook Video on the 3 types of English [FB...?v=177987672834]

And check out a local movie production WooHoo [woohoo.my] about the Tiger dance. 2010, by the way, is the year of the Metal tiger. And if you’re a Lillian Too or Joey faithful, then buy metal shares like gold, tin, aluminum and precious metals.

Oh, and no offense to buddy John Sam, but couldn’t I buy 2 items twice to get 2 of those RM 20 vouchers? Or, is this a reverse psychology promo that we should talk about “offline” :) *wink*

I met two guys today while doing my chores and paperwork in and around PJ and KL.

I’ll share with you guys if you ask :)

Anyway, after a good sleep I feel great. I feel refreshed! I will let due process take its course and look forward to the beautiful weekend ahead, starting with CouZ night at SIB KL on Friday.

Here’s the smartest thing (I think) I said today

Will be watching 24, hopefully, before lunch with foo.

Whoa, what a roller coaster ride it has been.

I went for a assessment test at Maybank, did a Presentation and was asked for medical.

And I thought this was it.

And it turned out to be a “pre-mature celebration”!

I will only find out on the 3rd February (Wednesday) whether or not I will be offered a job in MAYBANK HQ as IT Auditor.

He gave, and he take it all :)

On the flip side, 31 January 2010 is GRADUATION DAY!

Time to play that Vitamin C song over and over again! BLEH…

LOOKING FWD to see Melvyn, and the gang again TOO!

Blast from the past is back!

Here are some graphics from back then (that I happen to save / share)!

International Marketing, Ms Neliza

Banana 69 aka Shawn Khik

Shinn87 (aka Atalude) Ahh.. good times!!

Melvyn Wee Wee

Choon San (CS) and his Nikon

Pizza & Catan

Sue Ann & Ashley

Tee Pee warning. When it first came out, it was a joke. Now its a phenomena!

Rabbit Cake and Oyster (oh-chien). Sunway area!!

The cartoon character resembles closely to the Oatmeal

“I got my eyes on you!”

Oh, and one more thing: Here is a map of my mouse movements for the past 2 hours. Dark circles denote where my cursor rested. Activity: Surfing the net. Cool huh?

It’s just past the half way point on the premier league and Arsenal tops? Looks like @aidanlegend @y2ngwei Edwin and the other gunners finally in the promised land.

Will they have the firepower to last through the remainder of the season? Which team will have the depth to carry through as the fixtures pile up?

That, is the question!

Liverpool ain’t doing too shabby, within a sniff of C. League playoff spot. The league seems to get more exciting every year.

THURSDAY IS HERE!!! WOOTZAH!!

Ok, I’m now gonna act as if I know everything about advertising and TVCs. So please bear with me.

I just watched the Lenovo laptop ad

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=249247918041

I must give credit to the camera work. It was well shot and directed.

As for the concept, the voice overs. ALL RUBBISH! Looks like they took it out of an outdated Marketing textbook! I’m betting the director is a middle aged balding dude who just hired a freshie with textbook ideas.

An example of a good advertisement in my opinion is by

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sPvLRVrvC8

DIGI Telecommunications on their 3G service.

Easy to understand, clear message on what it’s all about and something we can relate to. Not some crazy story line about creativity and attempted collaboration! Pe-tuui!

BOTH are technology companies and it is really shocking how one can get it so wrong while the other hits the nail!

And if you want to be wow-ed, just check out Apple’s theme for all advertisements on their products. [at Apple.com of course]

I took a picture of Maju Junction this morning, and it failed epicly. The color is wrong, the sun is overexposed, the leaves are not green enough.

I wonder if any Photoshop guru out there can help me fix it!

Add your fixes to the comments section.

Thank you for your time!
