of advertisements and articles

Check out this new advertisement from nokia for its N82 phone. I’m not too sure bout whether the phone is good or not, but one thing for sure is the ad is simply awesome. At least that’s what I feel. The idea …The concept… CUN…hahaha.. I’ve always been in awe of those who come up with these brilliant ideas and concept for advertisements. I think they’ve got to be some of the most creative people out there who are constantly thinking outside of the box. They can simply make something seem so interesting sometimes or really make u laugh or really make u think. Another ad of nokia’s which I think is really good as well was the ad for the N95. For those who haven’t seen it yet. Then be prepared to be entertained by a story..



On a different note, I’m not sure how many of you’ll read a particular column in The Star newspaper. Although lately I’m starting to believe most of our local newspapers are sometimes pro-government, there is one column by a certain lady named Dina Zaman. The title of her column is “ A Writer’s Life” and it comes out every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month. And the section it is in the newspaper is towards the end of the paper somewhere near the World section. She’s one of those who I believe is a realist in a certain sense and a modern thinker . And her articles are truthful and I think that’s what is important . It tells of things that are relevant to us Malaysians and it sheds light on things some of us try to remain ignorant on.I’ve been following her articles since I think around Merdeka time last year and I feel it’s a pretty darn good read. So read up on the article when it comes to the 1st and 3rd Thursday or if you are the hardworking type, maybe you can go and rummage through that stack of old newspapers and get a good read.

the new year...

Is the year 2008 a year full of promise?? I believe so… every year is actually a year of promise.. a better tomorrow.. a better us… but the only difference between it being a year that has delivered its promise or not is whether we try to make the change for the better.. it all needs effort… I feel if we try to make a difference.. for us as individuals, families, societies and others in need .. its all possible that a better tomorrow.. For me my wishes and aspirations is to keep up with what I’ve said I’d do so far in my blog.. pick up some languages, learn to swim and cook, keep fit, start something to get a side income.. another thing I wanna do is give back to society or those who need it.. at one time I needed help.. I asked and asked and asked.. few times I didn’t receive what I asked.. I wondered why am I not being given the opportunity that I so desperately need.. sometimes I got frustrated and angry but then my chance came.. I seized upon it and made the best out of it.. my fren once said a long time ago.. sometimes god is toyin with u… like swinging a piece of meat in front of a dog for a while before actually giving it to u.. but the important thing is he does give it to u in the end..somehow.. it may not be exactly what u want.. but its something better than nothing..and if u really want something that u didn’t exactly get.. you can work towards it with the foundation that you have received.. the thing is we need to seize upon opportunity that is given to us.. something else I need to do this year is like I said before give back… just read another article that I feel is awesome.. the opportunity this guy has open up for others.. Gary Kleynhans from south Africa who’s a surfer.. he conducts free surf classes for kids who are poor… and he says through surfing, he can teach them bout discipline, punctuality and most importantly respect..he helps them get part time jobs as well ..and I think its really great what he’s doin..giving back.. there’s one line that he said that I think all of us should think bout.. "This world is stuffed because everyone just takes and takes and takes," says Kleynhans. "If everyone keeps taking, it's going to get worse and worse. You got to put something back in and it takes so little effort to do this." (courtesy of yahoo news by danna Harman) .. Check it out at this link for the whole story.. Surf …think bout it ppl…
