PHOTOLESS | Something to Think About ...

1. Despite having no photo, some do still read this post, thanks.

2. Mass Media plays an important roles in our daily life nowadays, that we can not escape from encountering them even for a day, unless you are living in those remote area, then that is another story, but otherwise, you will not be reading this.

3. Because of this, people, especially those "marketing people" will try to promote their product via radios, TV, newspapers and magazine, etc.

4. But what I found annoying is the type of advert that I have to listen/watch everytime I wanted to listen/watch a good program,( I know the TVs/Radios need the advert and well I don't mind those good ones.)

5. What I'm trying to stress about is some of our local adverts on the radios, did you realise that, most of adverts are all about LOANS! KAIN (Clothes)! BUFFET! STUPID CRAZY RIDICULOUS MIDNITE BACK TO SCHOOL, BACK TO UTANG SALE! (Which I think the "ridiculous" one is those who bought and paid $10 for a $5 item which they don't really need), and what does it all show you? orang kitani kuat berutang? kuat membali kain? kuat makan? Dunno, pikir tah sendiri.

6. When you look at the adverts of other countries, you won't find 90% of their adverts of such product, but instead, adverts about coffee, tea, detergent, holidays, medicine, perfumes, watches, toys and such.

7. "Dad, you still remember your promise?"
" What promise?"
"You promised me to buy me a spanking new-girl-in-Gadong-grabbing-attention sports car once I entered Uni"
"But you have already got a car, and it is still in good working condition?!"
"Yea, true but you did mentioned I could get a new one"
" Well ok, go and find some resonable price one"

"Oh yea, dad, I just remembered this financial institution is having some sort of a garbage eh a garage sale, where you can just trade in the old one with a "new" second-hand one"

I bet for those local radio listeners, you are very familiar with the above adverts (obviousl it was in malay, and I just exaggerate a 'lil), but yeap, my point is that, are we trying to promote a community for spending, loan community, people who just care about their wants instead of their needs?

8. Furthermore, the quality of some of the adverts, are ridiculous and annoying, I know those advert makers would say, " but it did attracts your attention and you remember it".

9. Well yeah it did, but it is just because we have no choice, in other countries, if a production house, produce a rubbish adverts, no one would ever come back to you, producing something rubbish, annoying and no meaning is totally different from those meaningful, heart touching adverts/ promo. (Good neighbouring example is the TM and Petronas ads esp. during the festive seasons)

10. Can we make something which is meaningful? Something that can touch you "there"? or at least make a good quality ads/promo, as for those who have parabola, Indonesia have thousand of creative ads, go study.

11. Just something I wanted to share, did you know how the guys in NISSAN promote their new flagship super car i.e. GT-R? Well, Mr Ghosn, the President/CEO of NISSAN called his office worldwide to discuss about their marketing strategy of the new GT-R, and he specifically said no promo in Mag, TV or the likes, so one of the guy from Nissan UK made a suggestion of promoting it via Manga (anime) and GT3 or in the layman terms, video games & comics! Brilliant!

PHOTOLESS | Ingin-ingin Atiku Saja...

1. When I took my photos, it will usually depends on my mood.
If I don't feel like taking it, the outcome will probably be just a "normal" shot.

2. The same goes in posting articles on this website, it will usually depends on my mood, if I'm in a mood to write heap of stuffs, then the write-up will be lengthy, and vice-versa, (thou I know that people only visit this site just for the photos and not for the write-up), who wanna read a lengthy grammatically incorrect article by the way.

3. Well, as for this post, and some future posts, I just decided not to post up any single photo, because I just don't feel like it.

4. So, what am I going to write up if there is no photo?

5. Whatever it is I feel like writing, (or typing rather,) our everyday life, journey along the road, social observations and such.

6. For those F1 fans, the hot topics now is the KERS, Diffusers "loophole" and also the McLaren "lie-gate".

7. Idiots, who put the Jokers for the lousy fellows in managements.

8. For those football fanatics, they all knew that, sometimes to "buy" or to "delay" the time, the players will "lie"/ "pretend" (or what ever they called it), that they are experiencing bodily injuries, leg cramps, stomach cramps or any imaginable injuries, so isn't that a lie? Is that acceptable? And not to mentioned WWF/ or WWE as it is known now.

9. Everybody knows about the controversional Argentinian Maradona's famous "Hand goal", during Argentina vs England in 1986, but even after knowing the thruth, does the result change? It was very controversional alright, but, Nope, the result did not change, Argentina still won 2-1.

10. But during the Melbourne 2009 F1, Trulli (3rd place then) was out of the race track, I repeat OUT OF THE RACE TRACK, imagine if YOU were in the 4th place would you follow him out of the race track? Would you stop?

11. You would be a Joker to follow him out of the race track, obviously, you will continue, hence that was what Hamilton did and soon after that, the safety car's out, so no overtaking during that time, but hey, funny enough, Trulli still has the gut to overtake Hamilton to get back his 3rd position.

12. So you would think it would stop there, as the race ended, who cares, who's 3rd who's 4, but no, now those Jokers in F1 management think that Hamilton i.e. McLaren team have lied, and "misleading" the stewards and might be penalised heavily because of that, ( Hamilton was totally disqualified for the Melbourne race, and to know more about the "scandal" just google it out), and the case are still pending, and can only be known after the extra-ordinary meeting on the 29 April 2009! Lousy Fellows! Get back to the real racing will ya!

13. Imagine McLaren being banned, there will be a drastic drop in the number of fans watching F1, TV viewers will decrease, race-goers on the race tracks will drop, and imagine the impact on loss of revenues, advertisement and such, the management will be at loss!

14. On a different note, congrats to DPMM FC for winning against Gombak FC, 2-1, hence gaining top spot in the S-League 2009 standing.

15. On the local scene, what I can't understand, is how some drivers unethically just overtake other people when coming to the merging lane, can't they just queue up? Especially, if they wanted to drive thru the entry lane to the highway, yet on the highway, they drove very slowly, and what annoys me most is, driving slowly on the right side of the lanes! Lousy Fellows!

16. Sometimes you wonder, despite no accidents, the road are still jam-packed with very slow moving vehicles, why?

17. Well the reasons, are the frequent brakings and then move again, then brake again, then move, what the ????. Did you know that, if the motorists just drive in a constant speed, of say, 70kmh, we will have a smooth traffic flow! As what have been researched in the UK.

18. There are still more that I want to type, but I don't know who wants to read this lengthy post, well, may be next time.
