Gadoh

14 June, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Watched this super movie over the weekend and i think everyone should watch this one.

Synopsis

Gadoh tells a story of a group of teenagers who fought each other along racial lines; a cycle of hatred and violence further escalated by their environment and school system.

What was to be a quick resolution to improve the school’s bad image, was taken as an opportunity for one teacher who believed that real change was possible. She ropes in the help of an old friend and reluctant maverick theater activist for this arduous task.

Is there hope amidst the cycle of discrimination that surrounds us? Its in the education system? Or is it our ignorance that is generating a dysfunctional new generation. Ponder about it, but watch Gadoh first!

Watch Gadoh for their story, and what it may very well tell us about ourselves.

Brand Loyalty – Does It Exist?

Do you have the slightly older folks in your office telling to go and Xerox a letter for them? Or have you had your parents ask you to run to the grocer to go get some colgate? Brand loyalty was such a huge part of life at one point. It was so prevalent that we used to address certain products by a particular brand.

As a kid growing up, i always wanted a pair of Levi jeans. Or a Nokia mobile phone or my father who only read The Star and nothing else. The older folks had brand loyalty!! It was not even a situation where a certain product was a monopoly. If someone said that he/she is a ASTRO fan, dude…do we have a choice?

There are no right answers if someone asked if being loyal to a brand was good or bad in my view. [Read more...]

Deepavali 2008

3 November, 2008 By 1 Comment

For many years i celebrated Deepavali at KL. This year the drill was slightly different when i went to my better half’s hometown at Raub,Pahang. I was there for only a night but it would be nice to experience the festival with a twist of a “kampung feel” to it.

Im not going to go into details of my experience because I’m sure if your from Malaysia, you would know exactly what celebrating a festival in your hometowns like but I’m going to share some of the pictures that i toke while roaming around the nice piece of land right behind of the family home.

All images were taken with my Canon 1000d DSLR (EF 18-55mm kit lenses)and since I’m a rookie at photography with a DSLR, it was a very interesting experience as i tried some of the info i picked up from various websites. Let me know what you think and if you have comments, please do let me know!

I’ve put up about 5 other images below [Read more...]
