Chapter 11, bleeding advertising


I wish people would
stop questioning Megan Fox's gender.
It doesn't matter if she's a dude or a chick
Or a dude with prominent feminine features
Of if she's straight or not
She's bisexual as a matter of fact

She's smokin' hot. And that's all to it :)

On the other note, I came across this.



This is a print ad for a road safety campaign done in New Zealand. Pretty cool ey?

They wanted people to slow down when it rained. They used the conditions themselves (in this case, the rain) together with the roadside billboards to communicate the message.

So when it rained, beautiful portraits of people on billboards started to bleed.

Easter is usually the worst time of year for road accidents in New Zealand. The reason is the holiday rush combined with the first heavy rain after summer. The client wanted to remind people to “drive to the conditions”.

How successful was this campaign ad? For starters, no one died that year during Easter. No fatalities. Limiting to the area that this print was located of course.

Why can't Malaysia have cool ads like this? Pfft~

Chapter 10, labels


I hate them.

I don't understand why people do that at times.. Why is that?
People, are such detailed creatures.
Even in general, we are all so very different.
Yes, some of us share certain similarities.
But similarities should not explain us as a 'whole'
Similarities.. It's a part of you. It's not you.
Our differences set us apart.
You are you. As I am I.
I'm not like you.. In fact, I'm probably nothing like you.

If a man, was attracted to another man, does that make him gay?
Or is it just the laws of attraction that draws us to each other?
Attraction is just attraction. Like a feeling is just a feeling.
Is 'okay' a feeling?
Then why do we sometimes say, "I'm okay"?
I dunno.. Perhaps the guy was giving out really strong pheromones
And maybe the pheromones were misinterpreted
Creating mixed signals

I don't like writing too much.
Too many words can make things.. mundane.

Thank you for your time. Good luck with whatever the hell you were doing.

Chapter 9, sarcasm


Sarcasm is a useful tool don't you think? Best way to indirectly tell someone how you feel.
How bout this for kicks.. ;)
Have fun!

* * * * *

You're a special person. There's no one like you out there. You're definitely 'one in a million'.

Fo says:
There are 6 billion people in the world. Which means, there are 6 000 people EXACTLY like you. So, d'you still feel special?

You do? Good for you :) You're 'special' indeed

* * * * *

How bout this instead..

Try adding "If you know what I mean" to ANY sentence
Immediately, it sounds a tad bit off.

* * * * *

Last one for the day...

"If you ever become a mother, can I have one of your puppies?"

Get it? ;) No? You bitch

* * * * *

If you’re too open-minded, your brains will fall out.

Chapter 7, Facebook dalam BM

Pertama sekali, saya ingin mengatakan bahawa saya tidak mempunyai tanggapan yang buruk terhadap bahasa ibunda saya. Ini hanya pendapat saya tentang perbezaan Facebook jika diterjemahkan dalam BM. Dengan itu, saya ucapkan, selamat membaca! :)

* * * * *

Daaamn son.. My BM is horrendous! HAHA!
Okay moving on..

Facebook in BM is the ugliest thing ever.
I just logged out. I was too confused.
I CAN'T NAVIGATE AROUND THE NEW LAYOUT
Nak tackle layout lama pun dah satu hal. Dia tukar lagiiiiii~
Haaaiiihhh...
"-.-

Anywho, I logged into my Facebook account, and what do you know..
It's in BM.
My eyes almost popped outta my head
I'm already having enough trouble analysing the new look.

Okay la tadahal la. I figured I should give it a go
Just to see whether it's user-friendly or not.
I was searching around...
Cari butang English, tak jumpa.
Cari butang 'Old Facebook', tak jumpa.

Tiba-tiba, something caught my eye.

"Sila lihat dinding ke dinding"
Perrrggghhhh.. buruk gila! Try saying that, tapi stress on the 'd' for the dinding..
DINDING KE DINDING
Serious shit tak lawa!

Okay okay, takpa..
Let it go.

Then, I clicked a few stuff.
*Click*
Okay, the usual. Komen..
*Click*
Halaman Utama
*Browsing, browsing*
'Suapan baru'
WHAT THE- ?
ooooohhhh.. News Feed.

Out of all the translated terms, my favourite has got to be...
'CUIT'
As in Poke
Poke Farhana.
Cuit Farhana.
Eeeeiiiii.. geli geli

Random moment; Geli mat mat maaat..
HAHA! I swear this thing is HILARIOUS!

Continuing..
Cuba if MSN was in BM?
Nudge jadi apa?
GEGAR? USIK?
GEGAR Farhana.. USIK Farhana
Ya Allah.. Cannot cannot

I rest my case. Penat kerut dahi bukak Facebook tadi
Sekian.

p/s: If I knew the perfect word for 'cheers' in BM, I'd use that to end my post. Sapa tau 'cheers' in BM?
