1Malaysia F1 team to be formed

Of course I am patriotic but I am equally tickled. Read article from theStar
  • Even the pit-stop team consists of Malaysians
  • 1Malaysia Team would identify a suitable Malaysian driver
  • If we want to export the Proton, we must ensure that the brand is strong
If you read the article, all the objectives and strategies seem sound. However take a look at the Digi yellow man ad campaign. The ad was successfull in terms of popularity but it never achieved the objective to increase sales and conversion. This is simply because what the ad shouts out to be could not be delivered by the product. Digi simply does not have the best coverage, period.

Old Fashioned Cooking Shows


Despite the fancy arrays of cooking programmes on AFC, I find myself attracted to the Malay language ramadhan cooking shows! It reminds me of childhood. When we were kids, there wasn't much cooking shows except for Sunday afternoons. Then comes fasting month and everyday at about 4pm, I would watch the yummy shows despite the garish decoration, terrible lighting and clothing. Each time after they cook, there is always recap of recipes and cooking instructions which I will try to copy down as quickly as possible! Of course modern cook shows do not publish ingredients or instructions on their shows. Bleah...

Oh goodness where are we 52 years on?

I stumbled upon some videos on Youtube which showed the dialogue sessions between the residents of Section 23 with the Selangor MB.

I didn't put the sound on. However based on what I saw, please heaven I pray, that those are merely a bunch of politically motivated paid goons. If I haven't got any Malay friends, my perception of them would be perpetually skewed!

Whatever happened to harmony, tolerance and respect? The Standard 1 book we learnt to read where Ali, Mohan and Ah Meng are playing ball in the playground?

My dear main 3 readers, lets promise each other that we at least, will raise our children well. No matter how different we all are, they will learn to respect the difference. Of course, we will still crash Taman Hijau for Laksa Johor whenever the occasion permits it!
