Mitsubishi and ME!

Mitsubishi Impression-Gallery [+]
-2002-

Grand Prix winners of ASIA with the wheel we drew.

-2004-
Makihiko Kumekawa came to Penang, Malaysia to interview me on the Grand Prix award for the Monthly Mitsubishi (September 2004 issue). LOL... Cover Girl!-
He is a professional photojournalist who was appointed to interview all the Asian winners.
Yupe! He travels around! and I LOVE HIS JOB!
He is my inspirator!
His photos are AWESOME!
I remembered him bringing his SLR, all his lenses and his camera tools....and oh ya! HIS FLIMS!!! For just a 2 page article on me, myArt, myFamily, mySchool, myLife and myPenang, he took around 15 rolls of flims!
(at that time I was like OMG!!! damn a lot la!!!)
WHOA! damn hebat la!
That day, in school, I was like a *celebrity*...(lol...true~) That day pula, I dunno why but I was like super busy with other stuff, had to finish my kerja kayu then he came and took photos pula...so just look at the photos... I look damn messy... ;p
+on the cover, beside me is my best friend, Chiew Nyen. I pulled her in front if not everyone wants to stand beside me ...lol..everyone wants to be in the photo...LOL!

OK, about the 'wheel' we drew, both Nasreen (Brunei winner) and I combine a drawing. We drew a globe like tree with people around it. :D
The word "Apa Khabar?" was written in 2002 when I was at the Mitsubishi Festival of Asian Children Arts in Japan. (everyone had to write their own greetings)

Another thing which Maki told me was,
"There's always a reason to meet the person you're meeting."
~something like that la~
anyway, I STRONGLY AGREE!

Thank You MAKI!

With love,
Jade.

GO HOME! (aaaa...can i just stay at home and not go back there!!!)

"Many would give anything just to experience the joy of a family reunion.
Please be home for reunion dinner, if you can. Gong Xi Fa Cai."

/////Who's behind the ad?/////


*Jade salutes Ken Wong Woon Kian*

Mum’s the word for poignant CNY commercial

KUALA LUMPUR: The scene shows seven-year-old Tan Tiam Hock staring blankly at his classmates, unable to proceed when his art teacher asks the class to draw a reunion dinner scene.

Later, we see him waving goodbye to his friends and happily running off. But, when all alone, his cheery little face crumples.

An Indian woman later picks him up from the bus stop and they return “home” to an orphanage.

It becomes obvious to the viewer that Tiam Hock was not able to draw a reunion scene because he had never had one.

Titled “Nobody’s Child”, Petronas' Chinese New Year advertisement carries the tagline, “Please be home for the reunion dinner, if you can.”

The three-minute commercial is the brainchild of Ken Wong Woon Kian, a 24-year-old visualiser with ad agency Leo Burnett.

He is the youngest person to have a script approved by the national petroleum company, and admits to being surprised when his script was short-listed and then chosen as this year’s advertisement.

He said he was inspired to write the script after his mother died from a heart attack just two days before the Chinese New Year last year.

“My mother was the pillar of strength in our family. She bought clothes for the family, spring-cleaned the house and cooked for reunion dinner,” he said.

Wong said the idea later evolved to that of orphans because he felt that his loss was not as big compared with that of those who had lost both parents, or those who had never known their parents.

Shot over two days around Jalan Ampang, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and SJK (C) Lai Meng, the advertisement was directed by Yasmin Ahmad, who has also helmed many other festive season advertisements for Petronas.

When telco companies smile...

...you'll know, dis' d season (again)!



SMS mania in Malaysia includes:
- New Year
- Chinese New Year
- National Day
- Deepavali
- Hari Raya
- Christmas

.....uh huh, and the telco companies keep
smiling from one end of the ear to another.

"Messages, make people happy.
Replying them, makes the other side happy.
Both, battle of the SMSes, makes the telcos happier!!!
...and they live happily ever after."

I am! Are you?

Be an Organ Donor today!
Save a life with your gift of life.

---------------------

Q: Who can be a donor?
A: Anyone can sign up. If you are below 18, you will need parental/guardian consent.

Q: What is organ donation?
A: It is the gift of one’s body parts after death for transplantation. Transplantation is an operation which replaces diseased and defective organs and tissues with healthy ones from donors.

Q: What are the organs and tissues that can be donated?
A: Kidneys, heart, liver, lungs and pancreas are the organs that can be donated, and the tissues are eyes, bone, skin and heart valves.

Q: When are the organs and tissues removed?
A: When death has been confirmed by two registered doctors. The doctors involved with certification of death are not involved in the transplant operation.

Q: Will my hospital treatment be affected if they know that I am a donor?
A: Absolutely not. Doctors will undertake every known measure to save your life right till the end.

Q: What about religious objections?
A: Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism recognise organ and tissue donation as the ultimate act of charity and benevolence.

Q: What if I change my mind?
A: If at any point you decide against donating your organs and tissues, inform your family and return your donor card.

Q: Will organ donation delay funeral arrangements?
A: Not at all. Following the removal of the organs and tissues, the body will be cleaned, draped and returned to the family within the shortest possible time.

Q: How can I become a donor?
A: Complete a donor pledge form and forward it to the National Transplant Resource Centre. You will receive a registration card from the centre. (Inform your family that you are an organ and tissue donor).

-----#Taken from Malaysian Medical Resources [+]-----

You can register here.
More info on the National Transplant Resources Centre [+]

"MANY lives could be saved if more people became organ & tissue donors. That’s why I’m doing my part to help in this important effort. Please make the decision to become an organ & tissue donor. It’s the right thing to do." -Michael Jordan.
