OH!

Warning: The following may be too stupid for the weak-hearted.



Bad advertisements are a reason why I'm interested in the industry. There are so many uncreative people out there winning awards.

Firstly, here's a big fat HUH? to Swensen's. Are they trying to say that they support abusive mothers who stress-eat? "You know what, let's remind those angry mums out there that it's perfectly okay to shove ice cream into their mouths!"

Secondly, are they that desperate to get rid of ALL their customers so they can finally close down? Because of this stupid ad that wasted 16 seconds of my life (sorry for your loss too) I'm going to buy ice cream of any brand except Swensen's. Häagen-Dazs (macadamia nut yum), Wall's, Magnolia, even Nestle. (They have a range of snack-inspired ice cream like Milo, Crunch and even Smarties. The latter sounds odd, but I'm still sooo not going to Swensen's.) Heck, I'd even buy good ol' $1 ice cream (with BREAD, that biscuit-thing is yeargh and cups are for whimps) from the ice cream uncle outside Paragon and ignore Swensen's.

You know what, Swensen's Singapore? You'd make the old man Earle Swensen ashamed of you. Maybe I should be blaming the advertising agency for coming up with such a dumb series of ads. But Swensen's approved it anyway.

Conclusion: That is the worst ad any live man has seen. The number of times that the following one is better is uncountable.



Clever, and Thai.

"Mommy! When I grow up I wanna be just. like. THEM!"

Our concert was GREAT :D

It seemed different from the concert 2 years ago or SYF last year... Back then I was always consciously aware that people were watching us.

But yesterday everything seemed like another rehearsal that flashed by, even though it lasted 3 hours. There was hardly any stage fright (except before taiyang) but still, a satisfactory performance I guess (:

Qin Wang Dian Bing was really well-received. YQP! :D

Next big thing: Block tests come Monday.
After that: Passing-down on Friday ):
After that: Competition?
Then finally: SYF 2009.

2 years ago, during a performance, I broke a bass drum mallet. (Everyone thought it was quite a laugh, come to think of it.)

2 days later, on the same stage... who knows?

Last concert. Last performance with Sec 4s.

NYCO and YQP.

(I realise that I complain all. the. time. but I'll live longer that way.)

I shan't Ctrl+C+V what most (Singaporean) teens list under their "hatezx" list, i.e. "bimbos... liars... backstabbers... hypocrites...". Yes, the above named can be annoying. But what really annoys me (and probably most people) is the rare but unique few who stab you with a butter knife.

Now, now, what's with the incomprehensible metaphors, you may ask. By "stab you with a butter knife" I mean attacking you in the most seemingly harmless way.

A butter knife is a knife, and everyone knows knives are never NOT dangerous. That's why kids don't find their action figurines armed with stainless steel bread slicers-cum-margarine spreaders. It is also why Mattel or Tomy won't make Cutlery Hour (get the red fork out of the... jam before the other spoons devour it!)... or Stab-Me Elmo (Spread-Butter-All-Over-Me Elmo, for that matter).

When you stab someone with a butter knife, that person gets hurt for sure. (That is, only if he/she does not happen to be a master in martial arts and has the ability to disarm you in one swift continuous motion, followed by a lethal dropkick.)

If you plan to pass off an offensive comment, why try to make it sound pleasant?

Why bother smiling, when your teeth are sharpened and your canines are waiting to slice flesh?
