Petronas Deepavali 2008 Ads

I’m not trying to be KNizam here but this ad brought rain on my sunny day. Watch it!

[flash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ORwXqiByc8]

To all my indian friends and readers, thank you for being a good Malaysian and Happy Deepavali.

To Balajoe, I’m still pretty much in love with this story you wrote 3 years ago. Happy Deepavali to you too. If I was part of the Petronas branding team, I’ll definitely pay you for the story and make advertisement out of it. The only problem is, getting a bas mini.

ps: Yes, I’m a sucker for warm stories and movies.

pss: If one thing Petronas is good at, it’ll be making TV commercials, no offense.

psss: Looking for Junior Web Developer, willing to learn PHP, MySQL and other open source project. Send your resume to wobiboyz(at)yahoo.co.uk. Offer ends on 24th Oct. (MK, this is your ticket to a better oppurtunity)

Everybody can become anything they want, but the question is, will they be good at it?

Ha ha.Noktah Hitam – happy holidays to you too. Just hope Petronas reads your idea there and makes a short film for Merdeka (that would be interesting)

My favourite deepavali Petronas ad is about a big brother who make sacrifices for the siblings (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HyeLCeH_WXI&feature=related) although Muthusamy Karrupiah is far too funnier.

I watched this advert that day, I must say it is quite an advert to watch. Yasmin Ahmad is good at this. Ehem, you are not entirely right, the only thing Petronas good at is finding the right director for its advertisements. Petronas adverts normally very long, wonder how much it costs.. Well, with deep pocket, it’s easy heh? But after a while, watching Yasmin’s adverts, it is kinda predictable which is not good in *her line of business :D

ps: I love balajoe’s blog as well. He writes kick-ass stories.. and entries. :up: :up: :up:

yeah, bad acting. The way I see it, they want normal people to participate. I think Balajoe’s entry should be turned into a Petronas Ads.

aku suka iklan ni… masa starting tu rasa “ek elehhh” kat bos si macha… pasal boleh beli sayap jer… heheh

Reply to This comment


NoktahHitam replied #1

hehehe.. boss die agak keras skit. Sebenarnye boss die nye tone salah.

The underlying part is, “No matter how hard you work, you can never afford a plane, might as well you spend most of your time with your kid!”

It is hard to grasp that part.

Bos dia lagi pikir jauh dari dia.. He said, “The most u can buy, only two wings”

ps : maksud bos dia, dia cuma boleh buat anak dia berjaya jadi pilot la..

“If you work overtime your whole life also, the most you can afford is the Wing-lah”..

Mano dio cakap two wings pulok?
