Petronas ad people, those bastards…
they’ve succeeded in making me cry again. (admittedly, this isn’t actually a tough feat. Just sit me in front of the telly on Sundays at 8, ABC)
Anyways theeese eees de 2007 Petronas CNY ad:
I think the plotlines are getting a little stale and predictable – three years in a row we get the story about our old folks. For some, the beat-you-over-the-head with a gigantic filial piety mallet can definitely become annoying.
But not for me, apparently. So please, Petronas, keep feeding me hackneyed messages about family, country and identity. I just can’t get enough of it!
Oh, also – I like the song. If anybody know who that is, lemme know, mkay??

But soooo the rrrroooo-man-tick. And you just can’t beat these asians when it comes to musical arrangements for love ballads. They just nail it.

We have a looming crises of the elderly here in Malaysia especially with the Chinese community. With young people migrating, medical care that will explode (what if one day the real racist really take over government and decide Chinese not eligible for gov healthcare?), the elderly in this country will really suffer.
BTW – durian is Bad for old people – its very high in sugar, refined carbs AND fats..

According to the BBC, “Millions of people are returning home… in what is described as the world’s biggest human migration.”
