Tribute to Yasmin Ahmad ~ A local talented filmmaker

I am sure the locals have come across her masterpieces very often from the television. For those who still don't know her, well, any of the Petronas TV commercials during festival season ring a bell to you?

Yasmin Ahmad, a highly acclaimed film director, award-winner both locally and internationally, passed away after suffering a stroke. Simply love her creations, below are a few which are in my must-watch list (the first went to "Funeral" that i posted on 14 April).

Tan Hong Ming In Love ~ this is cute!


Family ~ this is touching!


Chinese New Year (Our children)~ oohhh, such good reminder to us!


Greetings


We will miss all these TV commercials in coming years festival season. Yasmin Ahmad, R.I.P...

Latest Christmas Carol

My colleague forwarded this to me during work the other day. It saved me a few minutes of relaxation from those "x files" that i had on my desk. I could not help but hummed the song to myself, it was humorous, yet it was so true and sad. This is going to be the saddest Christmas song ever...

(For those who want to try sing this, well, it works perfectly on "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" tune)

Latest Christmas carol for 2008,

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

It's hitting you once,
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town

It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!

Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake, OH

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

Love it?! Hate it?!

Well, anybody out there having the same feeling? Love it because of the features and at the same time hate it because it eats up most of our time!!!

When i first joined, i was quite embarrassed of the number of my friends. Then the number slowly increases and my social network expands, from friends, family members, colleagues, schoolmates (primary & high school), course mates and even strangers!

I feel connected to the world. I keep up with my friends without writing a lengthy email (sometimes just a short message, uploading photos and video, share links, send a poke &...). I get back in touch with long lost friends (can't believe i can still have those guys sitting around me in first grade in my friend list!). I make new friends who share the same hobbies ( blogger group, parenting group, philatelist group &...)

Everyday there must be something you do with your facebook, either you add friends, upload photos and videos, change profile photo, share links, send messages, add comments to friend's photos, play games & quizzes, chat with friends, send flowers, gifts, hugs, bears, coffee, designer bags, cookies, keep a pet, keep an aquarium, keep a garden & bla bla bla... zillions of them. That's why hours being spent.

And guess what, my optician is also in my friend list, and i just ordered my contact lenses by sending him a facebook message, it's that convenient, LOL!
