Silk Canvas : Local Girl
Before / After ...O' Hai there Kak Timah! I swear to god it's all in the lighting. Its a MIRACLE I tell yah.
Silk Canvas : Local Girl
Before / After ...Fear the brows!
Silk Canvas : Local Girl
Before / After ....Found this picture randomly on the web while looking for Malay girls. She's so fierce in the before picture, so I was compelled to do her. No choice in the matter what so ever.
Avril Lavigne - Hot
This song was constantly blasting on Surfers Paradise Boulevard when we were shopping. Now it's stuck in head. Not that I mind. Apart from the video, the song is pretty catchy.
Australia
Well well well....it's our 5th day here and I must say Gold Coast is amazing. The beaches are amazing, the people are very nice and the weather is great. Now I know I understand why some Malaysian want to make this place their second home (or first for that matter). Heck, even I wanna stay here if the opportunity arise. Having said that, I will also miss Malaysia terribly cause no matter what, it's still the best in the world for me. Pirated Cds, KL Traffic Jam and Malaysian food that I can't find anywhere else.
Oh, people in GC look like they jump out of a Roxy / Billabong / Quicksilver catalogue. Golden tan, blonde hair, blue eyes and a face like an angel. Not to mention legs that can go on for days. Gila lah. I would definately miss this place when I leave....
Going to Australia
I'll be going to Australia tomorrow morning with my family. To be honest, I wanted to go to an asian country (cause I'm bias in that way) but since I'm not paying for the whole trip so I'm open to the idea. We're going to Gold Coast. I have no idea what to expect but we'll see what comes out of it.
Jodie Marsh Gets New Tits
I wonder if she will suffocate herself if she wears Wonderbra.
In 2003 Jodie Marsh's natural cleavage was a badge of honour in her ongoing feud with nemesis and plastic surgery aficionado Jordan.
But five years on, it's abundantly clear the glamour model has had a change of heart.The 29-year-old showed off her new set of 32GGs at the launch of Orchid bar in central London last night.
David Cook - Always Be My Baby
(Note: Might take time to fully stream)
Today must be a music surprise day for me! I'm not really a fan of American Idol or David Cook but my friend Li San (insane David Cook fan thank you very much) forced me to accept the mp3 and listen to the song. Hey, hey it turns out to be a very nice song indeed.

Coke Euro 2008 Launch

Carole King - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
I love her version of this song. Simply beautiful.

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
Guess which guy/girl is a big slut!
On men, a square jaw, large nose and small eyes are more likely to betray the look of lust than of love. Women found men with softer features more likely to opt for commitment.Published in the journal "Evolution and Human Behaviour," the research also showed that women who were open to short-term sexual relationships were usually seen as more attractive. They tended to have wide eyes and large lips, such as the actress Angelina Jolie
So basically study shows, the guy on the right just wants you for your vavavoom. And the one on the left wants white picket fences and 2.4 kids.
Same goes for the girl. The one on the right just wants to jump on the cock and the one on the left is the desperate housewife.
Conclusion: Hot people are sluts and the fuglies wants to marry and have ugly babies with yah. So which one are you? Hmmmm..!
Mariah Carey - Touch My Body
With the stress of facing work tomorrow morning, this song brings me solace. Yes i know it's a weird zen song but it works for me. I'm not kidding!

Worry Wart
I get paranoid when I have things pending at work.
1. Our LRT / Lightbox design got rejected due to some anal people on the media approval board. We have to revise it and I hope the clients are agreeable to the solution I have in mind. If not then we're in deep shit.
2. I have to follow-up on some minor translation for our press ad.
3. I need to go for Coke Euro launch on Tuesday. The operative word here is NEED. Even though I have all this crap on the old account (not my fault!), I NEED to focus on my new account. It's a matter of principles. I will not put Coke on hold any longer. I've delayed it ENOUGH.
4. My boss is on leave. I really hope my other colleagues can help me out while I'm away on Tuesday.
5. I have to shift place tomorrow and I hope the internet connection is up and running when I move.
6. I got discussion with the team over a new project Coke tomorrow. Need to balance the leftover crap on the old acct with the new acct.
7. Whatever happens, all the crap on the old acct need to be settled by Friday cause I'll be away for 2 weeks overseas. Tiket dah beli 2 months in advance already. No way can cancel at this point (not that I want to anyway). I need this break or I'll crack.
Silk Canvas: Jackie Stallone
Before / After ...Well at least she ain't melting anymore.
Another Party
There's going to be another gila office party tonight. I'm not sure if I'm gonna go or not. I have training the whole day with my new clients Coke. Right after that we'll have to oversee a focus group at 5pm. Later, I still have to get back to the office and clear my desk cause they're having a professional photoshoot of the office on Saturday. Plus! I have to move all my crap so by Monday, I can be sitting at my new place.
Oh, even if I do go, I have no idea what the hell I'm going to wear cause the theme is "anything sugar". wth?!
First thing that comes to mind with 'Anything Sugar'

Nokia TV Commercial
I first saw this ad a few years ago and I still think its damn good. It sells the products but still manages to be charming and witty. Hard to do yah! Most ads out there either trying to hard to be smart or just plain dumb.

Congratulations Nor!
Don't worry, you'll be great!
Trigger Happy Tuesday Night
O' God, this is becoming a picture blog! My sister came back today and out of the blue she wants to play with all the settings of her new camera. So, on a random Tuesday night we had decided to become a trigger happy family. Yay!

200 Pounds Beauty
This is going to sound absolutely lame but I really like that Korean movie, 200 Pounds Beauty. It’s one of those movies which I can watch over and over again. The jokes are abit predictable but funny nonetheless. I’m usually quite stoic when watching a movie unless it really means something. And this is one of the very few movies that had tug my tear duct. Seriously caught me off guard at that time.

Sufiah Yusof: Child Prodigy Turned Hooker
She was a child maths genius who won a place at Oxford University aged just 13—but now the only sums Sufiah Yusof is interested in are the ones she earns as a HOOKER.
For sad Sufiah the daily equation she has to solve is simply sex equals £130 as she sells her body to punters over the internet.
The gifted girl with the winning smile had the world at her feet ten years ago and should be a rich woman by now—but last week she was busy subtracting her underwear for our undercover reporter in her dingy back street flat.
Calling herself Shilpa Lee, the former child prodigy still juggles with figures on a hookers' website, describing herself as a "very pretty size 8, 32D bust and 5'5" tall—available for booking every day from 11am to 8pm."
She says she is a "sexy, smart student" who prefers "older gentlemen"— but a former pal who has witnessed her downfall told us: "It is all desperately heartbreaking.

I heard this on the radio and I love the song that goes with the video. Kindda haunting. Sung by Jason Rowe.

5-Minute Management Course
I got this through one of my colleague at work, Liyana (Ms. Nespray & Darlie) . I normally don't read non-work related emails in the office but this one was pretty interesting and smart. It's abit long but here goes....
Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies. 'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' Replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.' The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your
friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep
your mouth shut!
Coca Cola Sampling
Coke will be my new account after DiGi is gone. So the other weekend I was out to see how they did the sampling at KL. Basically to keep an eye on things and make sure the videographer get good shot of people sampling the product and give positive testimonial. There was soooo many people who turn up for the free coke. It got abit crazy at one point. I don't know how these people have the energy to go to about 4-5 different location each day and give out thousands of samples each day. Must be really tiring for them. Oh, Li San was there as well to keep me company and keep things crazy as usual.
Aly & AJ - Potential Breakup Song
The other day during the crazy office party Lisa (Ms. Nescafe) and Zahir (Mr. Prudential) was telling me about this 'potential breakup song' which I never heard of before. So they sang to me afew lines and it sounded quite catchy so I had asked for the MP3 and now its one of my current fav song. I usually play it after 6pm at the office to loosen up the tension of working.
Aly & AJ - Potential Breakup Song
2 Days
Could it be true? 2 more days and its over. No more doing a telco account....Wow. Will I miss it? ofcouse I will. But will I do it again? maybe...FOR HIGHER PAY!
On a serious note, If you are in the advertising industry in Malaysia, you would know that any telco account is a craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy account. But after having dealt with them, I still say they are OK LA! There are only 3 major telco in Malaysia and I was lucky enough to work with the best among the 3. If I had worked with Maxis or Hotlink, I'd be hanging myself by now. hehe.
Ps: The Anjing is still my worst client. Can you imagine, not even telco clients can beat The Anjing! shame shame.
Agency Farewell Party
So the thing is, our client wont be with us any longer and we will fully part ways in a week or so. The clients were nice enough to throw us a mini farewell party and typical for agency, we were 2 hours late for our own party....aiyooo!! BUT we do have a good reason!! We were actually rushing out some excellent FAs for them.
So anyways... the party had good food and great company. I enjoyed myself. Halfway towards the party, I notice one by one people started being pulled into a private room where the party was in full swing with beer and cigarettes. Laughter, scream and even more laughter we heard all the way out. Finally, I was pulled into the room by my client. She says that i need to do a lil "TEST" and that I need to check an FA with one client on my right and the McCann planner on my left....
Gary: Ok Ari! There is a mistake in the FA in front of you. And you have 20 seconds to spot it
Person : Yeah, this is to test how well Kamal has trained you as an AE
Ari: Okayyy.... is it a CI mistake? copy error? visual error??...anything?
Kamal: Nono...you have to look out for it. We can't say.
Gary: Ready? Timer Set?.....GO!
Ari: (looking...loooking HARD...LOOOOKING HARDERRR)....Where? I cant find lah..... where laaaaa
Gary: Found it? Found it? 5...4...3....2...
Ari: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
