Sunday Preview - A Little French

2012-01-29T06:13:00.006+08:00

说真的，我经常在看预告时就很喜欢该部电影。可不是每一步电影都是如此。这是一部加拿大法语电影《Café de Flore 》（花神咖啡馆）由Jean-Marc Vallée执导。一个故事发生在60年代的巴黎，单亲妈妈的唐氏症孩子爱上另一个唐氏症女孩。另外一个故事发生在现代的蒙特利尔，一个男人和离婚妻子和现任新欢有纠缠不清的关系；而其实，他们是前世今生。预告用上了Sigur Ros的音乐，所以特别吸引我。

单看法国电影《La Guerre est Declaree》（战争已宣）的预告，就已经很有冲动想要冲进戏院。影片讲述当代年轻情侣面临孩子患重病的考验，他们不但为了孩子而战斗下去，同时也为了他们的人生而战斗下去。故事取材自真人真事，也由当事人扮演故事的角色，他们是导演兼女主角Valérie Donzelli和男主角Jérémie Elkaïm。本片获得了很高评价，同时也报名84届奥斯卡外语片。导演大玩电影技巧，用了许多配乐和感人moment让大家惊喜，并感觉片中大家都很想感受到的活力。

Jean-Marc Vallée's Cafe de Flore is quite a complicated story. The fact is, I like Venessa Paradis. It explored the human relationship in different times, different places. It took a lifetime, perhaps another lifetime. Gosh, It sounded depressing. But from what the trailer showed, it was quite depressing.

I watched the trailer of Valerie Donzeli's second feature film "Declaration of War" and I already felt the vitality that made me the rush to watch this film. It is about a contemporary couple who fight for their child's life and also their own lives. It was not a documentary, but in real life, they had a child who was ill. It should be inspiring and tearful.

Jason Wu for Target

2012-01-28T05:49:00.001+08:00

我就是很容易地爱上这个广告。真想如果有机会一定要参与服装品牌的电视广告。服装品牌的广告和一般的广告的手法不同，品牌要很直接表达自己的性格，甚至可以制造跟风效应。服装品牌在retail上下了很重的功夫。就像这Jason Wu for Target，就是Target和Jason Wu的collaboration，价格上也比较舒服，所以很能制造一种很容易就能占有的购物欲。况且Jason Wu给总统夫人的名气带旺了，真的很吸引叻。

I love this advert, so simple and nice. Feeling good, feeling french, especially the black cat. I like Jason Wu's design and details, simple yet elegant. At the end, I saw this super printed on screen: Target: Expect More, Pay Less. Honestly, I love the idea and it works well.

Google Chrome - Tanjore

2012-01-28T00:15:00.000+08:00

其实网络世界一切都变得很方便。这个广告，却用了古时很手工的方法，告诉大家如何建造网页，甚至连click这个动作，也由一个人用真实的箭头道具显示出来。很多时候，越先进的科技，就越需要更简单传统的方法来解释。可是看了几次，我还是觉得那是Google所有产品服务连带网络所带来的整体效用，也并没有觉得浏览器Google Chrome本身就有此神奇功能。到底这广告有凸现Chrome的厉害吗？我倒使很喜欢开头时，用印度文化元素将Chrome的标志印度化，连音乐也是很Bollywood的。

I am a frequent user of Chrome. I liked to use Chrome for its simpleness and convenience. Just that, it always clashed on me. With the integration of all Google products and introducing "One Policy, one Google experience", I felt my privacy is not that private and I was being observing like seen from CCTV. Anyway, Chrome is great, just that I did not really get it from this Tanjore.

Audi - LED Headlights

2012-01-27T09:28:00.003+08:00

我很喜欢吸血鬼的故事，也很爱看关于吸血鬼的片子。很明显的，我对这广告有些失望。因为车头灯太强犹如阳光连吸血鬼也抵挡不住要马上烧死？如果可以使这样的话，我根本就不喜欢吸血鬼。我喜欢他们，其中一个原因是因为他们够迅速，可以在刹那飞走。如果这样也逃不了，妄称自己是吸血鬼。除了强调车头灯太强之余，不如也强调其速度太厉害，连吸血鬼也逃不了，那我就很buy。

An Audi advert featured its LED headlights as powerful as sunlight by killing all those stupid, hippie vampires. Well done, wasn't it? To me, vampires are not that lame, but then it was quite a good fun to laugh about.

Google Maps - Start Here

2012-01-26T10:06:00.003+08:00

这是谷歌一则赏心悦目的广告，产品是Google Maps。Google是大家都很喜欢用的品牌，好像不需要怎样特大广告作宣传，只要产品本身很好用就足以一传十、十传百。应该是谷歌要强力推荐大家用手机使用，所以很致力推出这广告告诉大家Google Maps是一个很有趣的apps。其实，我最喜欢的，是那个供人操纵的地仪。花多少时间造成呢？很适合我想要收集的艺术品。

"Sometimes getting there can be half the fun. Use Google Maps to explore your world and get to your destination on time". That was the line, Google Maps, Start here. With a suitable soundtrack, plus the aesthetic wonderful toy that made the ad, it was easily being liked by many. I am very curious about the mobile phone shown in the advert, as it is brandless, though I wish to get a Samsung Nexus.

5 Friends Song

2012-01-25T09:19:00.001+08:00

这首5 Friends Song是5 Friends系列宣传的宣传曲。比起之前那两则反讽呼吁广告，显然其激励作用不及前两个。但是，总的来说，整个5friendsvote的宣传做得很棒，鼓励大家将这讯息传给朋友，以达到全民投票。希望我们的国家有更好的未来！

Even though I believed that it take times for things to change, but for this 5 Friends Vote campaign, I just liked this line: It's only one day in your life to make things right. I wish there are hopes for my country.

5 More Friends

2012-01-25T07:26:00.000+08:00

上一次的广告是呼吁大家去注册成为合格投票者，接着这支宣传广告也是用了同样的反讽方法，呼吁大家在11月4日不要投票，郑重告诉大家：一票是多么神圣。比起上一次的呼吁广告，我会觉得这支广告更加有激励的作用，更能传达神圣一票的意义。我要去投票的情绪又高昂了许多。同样的，大家呼吁将它发送给5个朋友，朋友呼吁朋友去投票，在网络发达的时代，这是一个很好方法。BRAVO！

This sequel advert is to ask people to go vote on Nov 4th and I had to say this advert had a bigger, stronger effect on me. It brought up the alerts of 'one vote does not count' and why people were voting. A fact were brought up that 537 people decided the result of 2000 election. Seriously, I was moved and we ought to go vote!

5 Friends

2012-01-25T06:14:00.001+08:00

不要去投票？从开始就知道这广告是在反讽。一大班明星呼吁大家不要投票，这不是美国明星会做的事情。虽然一开始就知道他们其实要叫美国公民去注册投票，但是看了之后，还是有被激励的冲动，觉得我必须去注册（其实我很早已经注册了）。我很欣赏他们可以用很平民的口语，甚至带有fuck、what the fuck...的字眼。最后，大家呼吁大家将这则讯息传送给5个朋友。我觉得这才是真正的作用，因为如果我是一般普通美国公民，我一定会将它发给其他朋友。所以，身为马来西亚公民的朋友，大选即将到来，你们注册了吗？

This video was uploaded by 5friendsvote on Oct 1, 2008. I watched it a few weeks ago, and now it is 2012. This video is to ask people register to vote via a sarcasm of telling people "do not vote". At the end, all superstars asked audience to register and they could wait for them to do that, plus advise audience to send to 5 friends. Actually, I liked this mechanic - send to your friends, like a viral spread. If this advert was for my own country, I already had been moved to register. Well done!

Pakatan Rakyat - CNY2012 Advert

2012-01-23T12:43:00.003+08:00

大年初一要祝大家事事顺利，身体健康和新年快乐。马来西亚民联政党也趁此新春佳节祝愿大家“国泰民安、如意吉祥、百业兴旺”，再以“民联新政国运换，平安吉祥阖家旺”收尾，正好叫出了今年国民的愿望。大选即将开锣，敬请大家关心国家政事，为国家带来繁荣！恭喜发财！

This is a CNY 2012 advert from Pakatan Rakyat (民联). The names of all three top leaders have good meanings in Chinese character. Anwar starts with "An"(安) . "Ping An"(平安) in Chinese means safe, peaceful or harmony. Kit Siang(吉祥) means auspicious. And Hadi Awang ends with "Wang"(旺) which means good luck. So the Pakatan Rakyat combination will bring harmony, auspicious and good luck to all Malaysians!

Skittles - Climax

2012-01-15T18:08:00.001+08:00

说真的，我觉得这则广告有些无聊。可是在一开始的时候，我是被“banned ad”这字眼所吸引才看的。我不是不喜欢，只是觉得，好像少了些什么，同时嫌它不够尽兴（要干就干到底嘛）。既然已经来到这个地步，不如就干到底，再来些更“激”的情节/镜头，让大家在笑的同时，也觉得莞尔。

Seriously, every time I read the words "banned ad", I had a huge interest of watching it. In fact, anything labeled with uncensored, banned... would instantly create a rush for me to find out, so was this. Well, at the end, I knew why it was banned, still my "hope" was killed by my over-curiosity. No matter what, I still liked the tagline - Skittles, taste the rainbow.

Adidas Originals - Move It On

2012-01-13T23:29:00.002+08:00

Adidas纪念三片叶标志40年，也适逢2012奥运会，展现奥运五环颜色，推出了这则宣传广告。片中的主角是亚裔人，而且上载到youtube的标题也附有中文，这是我出奇的地方。说真的，看了之后没让我留下深刻印象，只有些许‘酷’的感觉。我本身很喜欢看关于运动商品的广告，到目前印象最深刻的依然是Nike在世界杯Write The Future的广告，片子真的很精彩。虽然如此，说道商品呢，我还是喜欢Adidas多于Nike。

This time, Adidas Originals wanna "celebrate 40 years of the trefoil with originals new year surprise". It changes colours with the colours of Olympics. It's kind of cool, and we should expect more of those adverts to welcome Olympics 2012. By the way, I really liked this previous advert: Star Wars™ Cantina 2010, that was really cool. But then I do not really like this Adidas Denim, I felt a bit wrong.

Property Advert - 92 Savoy Drive

2012-01-08T02:27:00.000+08:00

这个房产非常宽敞，而且因丛林茂密而隐秘，你可以随时在家自裸。我不是一个喜欢裸露的人，就算有很多特别制造的裸露机会，也不会特别恋。应该是因为习惯的关系吧。但是，这则宣传短片实在看得人心痒痒的，能够拥有如此的房产简直是梦寐以求。算了吧，也不必问什么时候，它肯定不是我的to-wish名单。

After watching this property advert, 92 Savoy Drive become a naked private drive to me. It is so great to have a home as huge as it shown. It is totally cozy to have this property. A private pool party would be absolutely convenient and convincing!

Let Calcutta Surprise You

2012-01-07T21:10:00.002+08:00

还记得小时看电影时那些机器你心中壮志凌云的感觉吗？看了这套宣传短片Let Calcutta Surprise You，那配乐激发我我这份情怀。这部动画的概念来自“手指皮影戏”，用手指呈现印度加尔各答的城市魅力。虽然音乐在接近尾声时失去了那什么的，但是那个起头很好，再编入一些很印度的管乐，让我感动。

I guess it is just me. I like things in black and white. I like simple things, simple idea, that lead us to a rich feeling. I will call it, simple and nice, just like this short animation - Let Calcutta Surprise You. Enjoy.

Faye Wong - Wish

2012-01-02T10:42:00.002+08:00

王菲在湖南卫视的2011/2012跨年晚会上演唱新歌《愿》。听了之后很顺心，希望大家不要失去信念，继续为我们的世界抱着希望，加以积极力量，我们的愿力就会越持越大。祝愿大家美好新年。

作曲+编曲：讴歌/作词：慈诚培吉

在山水之間　有一份信念　是靜默無言

在佛塔之間　有一條經幡　是為你掛牽

在聚散之間　有一劫宿緣　是無常善變

在你我之間　有一縷思念　是魂繞夢牽

此生　上路　哪怕天絕地穿

只願　途中　能再與你相見

嗡嘛呢唄嚒哄舍

Asia super diva Faye Wong performed a new song called "Wish" during 2011/2012 New Year Eve Hunan Satelite TV concert. It's a smoothing song to ease our mind. At this new year, please continue to have faith, do not lost hope, keep calm and carry on, wish good wishes everyday, the positive energy could make us better. Wish you all a very happy new year!

Harvey Nichols - The Stone House

2011-12-14T02:18:00.002+08:00

看了Harvey Nichols的圣诞广告，我接着再看这部短片《The Stone House》。流行服装的广告/短片和一般的广告很不一样。上次的广告有一个很重要的信息，就是Harvey Nichols要女人们不要feel ashamed。可是这部短片就是完全很流行服装的语言：影像一定要很吸引，不必详细的故事情节，一些场景，一些音乐来营造氛围。我没有觉得做这个或做那个有什么可以不可以，但是我们必须知道不管走哪个方向，我们都要努力做出好作品。

After the Christmas advert of Harvey Nichols, I watched this "Stone House" by Harvey Nichols. It was a short film with a man and a woman wearing elegant and beautiful clothes in the stone house, with no storyline. As a matter of fact, I would prefer it has a more obvious story, so that I could remember it easier.

Nando Adverts - Funny Series

2011-12-13T01:59:00.003+08:00

Nando's也有一系列的搞笑兼且夸张的广告。这系列的广告其实和政治系列的广告的手法同出一册，都是集中在搞笑点。如果政治系列的广告太过认真，就会觉得其实本来政治就是很严肃。可是，进餐本来就是一件愉快的事情，所以还是走一些黑色幽默或轻松易明的点子，就会让人觉得还很ok。这系列的广告展现轻松有趣，就如其他的广告一样。

This series of Nando's adverts are more funny, they are kind of pure hilarious. Overall, Nando's gives an impression of happy and affordable eating out. With some adverts going those political issues are best to enhance its image, as everybody else is going funny as well. Check out these: Where's My Chips?, Try New Things?, Ramadan, I Win I Eat the Chicken.

Nando's Adverts - Political Series

2011-12-13T00:30:00.000+08:00

Nando's考鸡其实好好吃，虽然我偏向素食，有时还会和同事一起去Nando's用午餐，消费经济不失大体。说实在的，我很少看见连锁餐馆的广告可以如此与众不同。Nando's这系列的广告矛头直指国家政治和贪污的情况，从而推销Nando's的经济实惠。说真的，对于马来西亚，这些广告已经是很大胆的。关注重点还是回到广告创意。大家必须关心这些广告到底如何增进客户对品牌的印象。对于我本身，这个印象已经存入我的脑里：Nando's烤鸡可以很经济实惠。所有这些系列和政治及贪污相扯得广告，我不大记得到底是什么事件，可是我已经记得这个品牌。而且我觉得这个品牌很得意，或者应该说很得我心。

I had good laugh with all these Nando's advert. I admired its daring about politics and corruption. I found Nando's chicken was quite a decent meal with quite affordable price. And these series of Nando's adverts had deepened these impressions. As a matter of fact, that would be super funny with all these people cahnge to Malaysian characters, I guess all Malaysians could relate to it.

Arts, Houben, Boogaard - Page 23

2011-12-12T10:34:00.003+08:00

这部短片《Page 23》看起来像一本宜家杂志，概念很新很富想象力，我可惜剧本没什么张力。虽然如此，我还是很佩服，因为整部片子必须在48小时内完成。这个短片计划叫做48小时电影计划。团队将在星期五晚收到提示，接着的48小时必须完成整部电影。详情请浏览The 48 Hour Film Project。

Page 23 is a short film by Tim Arts, Jeroen Houben, and Stefan van den Boogaard. It was done under the 48 Hour Film Project. On Friday night, the team was given a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre to be included in the movie. Write, shoot, edit and score all in a 48-hour weekend. It was kind of fun, I guessed. As for Page 23, I thought the idea is awesome, but the script was a bit unclear, as I did not know what exactly was the message in the ending. But it was done within 48 hours, I had to say, Bravo!

Yuna - Come As You Are

2011-12-10T00:16:00.001+08:00

马来歌手Yuna翻唱Nirvana的Come As You Are。她的声音实在让人难以置信！很赞！像天籁之音一样动听美妙。好久没有听见这种声音了，所以特别为之动心。她的诠释带着颓废的感觉，唱腔很特别。还有一首很好听的歌叫Decorate。听完了，我可以睡觉了。

Harvel Nichols Christmas Advert 2011

2011-12-10T00:00:00.002+08:00

Adverts that play with serious social context, most likely will have a bigger response, such as Benetton. This 2011, Harvey Nichols featured the "The Walk of Shame" for its Christmas advert. Y'know, spend a crazy night, perhaps one-night-stand, and wake up in the morning, go home with inappropriate wear and attract uncomfortable stares. At the end, it suggested that Harvey Nichols womenswear will make you feel proud instead of shameful. The context is still considered light. Check out this Nando's Christmas Advert "Last Dictator Standing" which touched on the political context, from a chained restaurant, great message!

初次看这广告感觉没什么。渐渐地那些社会对我们留下的印象慢慢在浮现。在英国，inappropriate会遭人白眼。在不同场合就应该穿上适合该场合的服饰，如果穿的不妥当，会很快得到人家的目光，虽然短暂，但依然是横扫过来的目光。所以这个广告的强处，在于它将社会的目光融入服装。一套好的服装，会让生活变得有尊严？虽然不尽其实，但是，至少表面上，我们可以逃过别人横扫过来的目光。广告中所投射的女人，都是在清晨穿着昨晚暴露性感的晚装匆匆回家，显得狼狈万分。好像英国的女人都是寂寞万分的，就靠那些一夜情激起花火，却要承受第二天清晨回家的狼狈。到广告的最后，女人穿着漂亮（不必拉高拉底），还和早上值班的邮差打招呼才走进自己的公寓。这算什么？衣服好看一点、光鲜一些其实可以掩饰昨晚的狼狈？所以人须靠衣装！

Big Ideas Start Small

2011-12-09T00:01:00.003+08:00

不要害怕开始。犯错。创意巨点，从小开始。继续思考，解决疑问，找出方案，寻求帮助。如果点子不落实，请继续向前。换个地方。遵守规则，然后打破规则。停下来休息一会儿，重温旧点子。解决方案就在问题中。保持集中。对每件事提出问题......最后呈上你的创意。

China Advert - 7Up

2011-12-08T05:09:00.001+08:00

These advert series of 7Up is long yet very funny. It was the funniest China advert I have ever since and made me laugh like an idiot. How come they had so much time to elaborate, but then I really love this funny and laugh until you cant stop laughing advert. 没什么能够可以补充，就是太尽兴了！超赞的笑料。

Thai Advert - Hatari & Saving

2011-12-07T05:00:00.001+08:00

泰国广告出名夸张搞笑，这和民情有很大的关联。被尊称为微笑的国度，大家对事情的看法有很不同的角度，一些在马来西亚看得很重的东西，却可以让他们一笑置之，例如人妖这回事。Hatari这广告看得我在毫不防备的情况下笑得喷唾液。叫人节省能量的广告很夸张，在这里大家会觉得暴力，可是在那里确实真的一笑置之。

To me, Thai culture is always closer, and I am more familiar. At the same time, I am very curious, perhaps mostly I do not really understand. I admire its exaggeration and humour, that makes it unique and distinct. I guess, I just need to try harder.

Raindance - It's A Movie

2011-12-06T01:36:00.001+08:00

这是一个电影节的广告，最然一开始我以为是相机/录影机的广告。片子一日本人日本语呈现，但是，我多看几次，好像觉得不是很像所谓的日本文化风格。不管如何，我还是觉得这案子很好。

It is an ad for 14th Raindance Film Festival: It's a movie. You should do something.

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain

2011-12-05T12:14:00.000+08:00

Amy Winehouse之后，我觉得Adele就是传奇了。《21》才第二章专辑就有很好的成绩。她的嗓音很不经意让我想起EllaFitzgerald。很喜欢她在这表演中的发型，让头发爆炸一下很适合她现在的暴红状况。这专辑中的Someone Like You依然是我的最爱。点击看Someone Like You音乐录影。

Japanese Adverts - Fanta & Tokyo Gas

2011-12-05T02:00:00.001+08:00

其实我觉得日本人有某一种夸张和weird的文化程度。感觉内心很暴力，外观却表现压抑的冷静。这种极端的程度，表现在Fanta的广告中。年少总是叛逆，年长不是传统就是突兀。接着，以下的广告（东京煤气），就是我一直对日本所抱持的印象。述说的节奏和剪接，音乐和画面，都是在那日剧时代在我脑海中留下的美好印象。

always adore Japanese culture. I feel very curious and perhaps I like the weirdness in it as well. The weirdness shows certain level of exaggeration, which I like. Just like this advert Fanta, it was presented in a very contradicted way, showing the social perception. The following advert is Tokyo Gas, it is one of those typical Japanese culture I have in mind since the popular era of Japanese series and culture. These two ads give a different impression yet, still very Japanese. And I like it.

Alex ft Jane - If I Could Turn It Back

2011-12-04T12:52:00.002+08:00

看毕《晚秋》预告，突然很瘾电影主题曲“如果时光可以停止”，由韩国酷懒之味的主唱秋憲坤和唱作歌手Jane合唱。钢琴和吉他谱出凄美的调子，感觉犹如冷冷的晚秋令人惆怅万分。作为电影的主题曲，其MV就可以很有feel，都是那些电影中的情节，犹如是电影的超长预告，却没有超长，刚好提供让人感伤的成分。“我们有凑巧的邂逅。借过的钱也不必换，我明天就回到监狱。”天啊，这样的故事真叫人心酸。这首歌，就是起着这样的效用。

This feature song, "If I Could Turn It back" is a perfect melancholy as an OST for Korean movie Late Autumn. It was a duet by Alex and Jane, yet the title printed "Alex ft. Jane". Alex is the Alex Chu from Clazziquai and Jane is a singer-songwriter. It is a sad song yet beautiful and it is a tear-bomb song.

Sunday Preview - Korean Romance

2011-12-04T00:46:00.001+08:00

刚刚看过金泰勇《晚秋》的预告，这部片乃是李满熙导演的同名电影翻拍，有玄彬和汤唯主演。女犯人表现良好获得得假释，遇见性感应召男，在异国他乡发生刻骨铭心的爱情。玄彬真的很新世代型男，汤唯的忧郁依然超迷人，非常期待的。还有另一部同样也由玄彬主演，是李润基导演的《爱，不爱》。故事讲述一对结婚五年的夫妻的分手的那一天，妻子搬离爱巢，却刚好下起大雨，于是两人在家里渡过，也同时回忆了大家的恋情。这样的故事，听起来像闷闷的，可也很想看。

Korea rising star Hyun Bin has two recent love movies. The first is Come Rain Come Shine by director Lee Yoon-Ki. The splitting couple was stuck in the house by the huge rain and then spent their last day there reminiscing those old days. The second is Late Autumn by director Kim Tae-Yong, it is a remake of a 1960s movie with same-name. It is an enchanting tale of two unlikely misfits who meet and fall in love. So this time, let's get a taste of Korean romance. Watch Come Rain, Come Shine Trailer.

Solvil et Titus - It Takes Times to Understand Love

2011-12-03T12:15:00.003+08:00

看了很细腻的铁达时2011版Time Is Love广告，我再看去年2010年版的Time Is Love。广告最后的主题是“唯有时间。让爱，更了解爱”。如果要做一个比较，我会比较喜欢2011年的“这三年间”，因为我实在觉得广告案子拍得很好之余，而且也和品牌比较相关，也更能带出品牌的‘时间性’。这则广告就很纯粹说两人的相遇然后到分手，感觉上产品置入也做得比较勉强。片子也是拍得非常有水准，背景音乐则用上“我愿意”。说真的，选一首好歌，真有画龙点睛的效果。如果我可以比较自由用乐就好了。

After watching the Solvil et Titus Time Is Love advert of 2011, I watched this Time Is Love from 2010. The advert tell the story of encounters of two lovers and it died out along the times. At the end, it says 'it takes times to understand love'. Then in the shorter Christmas version, they missed each other, but at the end, we all knew what they got for Christmas presents. Click here to view the Christmas version.

Solvil et Titus - These Three Years

2011-12-02T20:06:00.004+08:00

今天FB朋友在网上分享这则铁达时Time Is Love电视广告“这三年间”，看了感觉很舒服，感觉也很类似台湾广告的感觉（这样说好像台湾特能干出这种创意点子。说真的，也真是台湾才能如此）。这个4分钟版广告我看了几次，也看得很细。整个过程处理的很细腻。片子中那个已经离开的“男人”看起来特有品味：黑胶、漫画、单车、篮球、情信...这简直传说中濒临绝种超有品味的直男。到最后，虽然大家知道卖的产品就是手表，但是大家对这手表的品牌价值肯定因这则广告而觉得那是非常值得珍藏的产品。还有，梅艳芳那首《似水流年》给了片子很对位的feel。再说，这广告的文案写得很到位，很好！

FB friends shared this advert today. It is called "These Three Years" from Solvil et Titus 'Time Is Love' series adverts. Obviously this series is about love and relationship, I am sure even without translation, non-Chinese audience will understand the idea. Times by times as she sold off those stuff to a recycle shop, those things belonged to her 'ex', or someone who had left. It take her very long time (three years) to get rid of 'him'. When she slowly got rid of his staff, the man of the shop slowly had feeling for her. Time is love, and love need times t solidified. Such a feel-good advert!

Project Wise

2011-12-01T08:56:00.001+08:00

The Project Wise was launched recently. As the Malay Idiom goes, “Sediakan Payung Sebelum Hujan”, which means prepare an umbrella before rain. How wise. One of the well-known call-to-action is “#1. Switch off the lights when not in use”. Since last year, my family no longer entertains “switch off lights for an hour”, as throughout the year we have been switching off the lights whenever possible. So I fully support this campaign, actually we should practise that not only until Dec2012, but every possible moment in life. Let’s SAVE! And SAVE the planet.

HSBC - 那些年

2011-11-30T08:47:00.001+08:00

《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》效应出现在台湾汇丰银行广告中《8072篇》。"你的问题，就是我的问题"，多么好的服务。说真的，银行服务这回事，在多的广告业只是在制造良好形象。真正让顾客享有便捷服务的银行最终还是赢得顾客的忠诚。

Meet Uncle Hussain - Pokok

2011-11-29T22:32:00.003+08:00

Meet Uncle Hussain is a Malaysia rock band. I have listened to their song before and this song, named "Pokok" (tree) is a song I particularly fond of. Malay is such a beautiful language. I guess now is the best time for me to polish my Malay, hopeful all my colleagues speak Malay to me.

今天毗邻的同事请假，他却让我突然想起这首Meet Uncle Hussain的Pokok。有一段时间我很恋印尼的马来歌，在埋怨为何马来西亚没有move我的流行摇滚歌曲。就是这首Pokok (树)，让我再次爱上马来歌曲。chorus这样唱着：问树为何摇曳，答说是风在摇曳。因为这份工作，我又在一个口操很多马来语的环境挑战前途。我喜欢马来语，我希望借此机会我的马来语会进步。还有，我很怀念大学日子，因为那时我有两个要好的同窗，一男一女，现在失散了。他们每一次都回笑我说的马来语，但是又很喜欢和我做朋友。希望他们和我一样喜欢Pokok。

Samsung - The Next Big Thing

2011-11-29T00:29:00.000+08:00

看起来这是一个普通的广告案子，不像一般手机广告尽炫功能的广告。点子很简单，说一群人在苦苦排队等候新电话的推出，但是这群人中却对其他人的新电话又兴趣。品牌本身非常了解市场对新电话的反应。大家都知道哪个品牌能招致一群热衷的客户排队等候。Samsung了解到自己的本事，再根据这个‘事实’，去凸现自己的功能，好像也不怎么避讳说它很有抄袭的姿态。就是这个事实，就是非常了解客户对品牌的看法。可这是褒贬其它品牌的一种手法。

Michael Bublé - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

2011-11-27T00:36:00.002+08:00

美丽的圣诞节快要到了。各大百货已经在装潢圣诞。我一直这样认为，圣诞节最经典的专辑，应该是Nat King Cole的《The Christmas Song》，像是大家应该就在圣诞节播的专辑。说真的，实在太经典了。但是，今年，我们还有Michael Bublé的《Christmas》，里头也是收录了最最经典的圣诞歌。以他的天赋之音，这个圣诞，除了经典，还可以是很摩登的经典。A Must for shopping list。

沈志煒 - 玩笑

2011-11-26T23:31:00.004+08:00

A song by Tezuka Shinjan called 玩笑 (joke). It talks about the room become so empty when the loved one has gone and how much he wishes that this is just a joke. When someone leaves, we do not believe it thoroughly and thought that it is just a joke. But when we realise all those things that we are so used to have all gone, we slowly realise it is all gone, and it is no longer a joke.

从FB的连接中听见沈志煒(阿尼)的《玩笑》，唱的是不敢相信原来他已经离开了。歌好好听，有感人之处。情歌若touch进人心深处就是首不错的歌。我一直坚持歌手必须要会唱live，好歌手就要把live唱好。阿尼的live很稳。如果能把更多感情融入vocal，那肯定要叫人掉眼泪了。加油！

Kasikorn Bank SME - Cookies Boy

2011-11-26T23:28:00.001+08:00

泰国Kasikorn银行被标榜为国内第一提供中小型企业服务的银行，这广告是一则简单煽情的故事，说的就是业主创造了一个类似宠物的可爱饼干。一天的意外它死了，之后经过拯救又复活了。从此以后，创业的念头就生起了。广告真的有些煽情，我觉得我好像做不出这样煽情的作品。可能我的心像冰一样冷。Sigh。

Get Up! - It's Time

2011-11-26T11:25:00.001+08:00

It is simple yet very nice. When we think of loves, any kind of loves, all should be the same. We all savor the sweet moment and romance. As a matter of fact, loves should be very lively, unbored and always put us on smiles. It's time, to get up!

这广告用了一个简单的方法，就是将镜头等同当事人的眼睛。所以反而大家不知道这个当事人是谁，只看见他眼睛看见的事情，反而这样观众对此片发生了兴趣：到底他是谁？当然故事来到最后大家都知道他是谁。把片子的剧情安排好，配上这音乐(Oliver Tank - Last Night I Heard Everything in Slow Motion)，就有如此效果。

Wii Christmas Advert 2011

2011-11-25T14:14:00.002+08:00

至少这个广告讲中了现代城市文明的要害，就是过节是一项很闷的事情。除了食物，如果佳节没有电视、电脑、智能手机......那将是一个很boring的节日。所以Wii就做住这个点子，告诉大家，如果你没有Wii，你的圣诞将会很沉闷，门得如果整家人聚在一起，也没有话题只是想睡觉而以。这正是所谓文明人的通病，我们太依赖电器所带来的欢乐。这个年头好像没有人喜欢面对面交谈良久的美好时光。我不知道要如何，但是我应该属于比较传统的人。我喜欢面对面的真实接触，我喜欢和人真的在一起，就算很少说话也行。我不能只通过网络联系感情，就如我不能享受internet sex一样。要来就来真的吧！

Argos Christmas Advert 2011

2011-11-24T14:09:00.002+08:00

总之，利用外星人说去圣诞购物会很突兀反而应该上网Agros购物这点子一点都不work。第一，我是人，我不是外星人，我超喜欢在圣诞节前上街购物。第二，圣诞老人，甚至是多角鹿，肯定都比外星人来得贴切和亲切。第三，已经是外星人了，还需像一般人出来购物吗？话说回来，难道要像外星人那样才可以Argos吗？我不知道，我只知道这广告很白痴。

Coca Cola Christmas Advert 2011

2011-11-23T13:45:00.002+08:00

说真的，我没有真正做过圣诞节的电视广告，但是如果有机会开始，可能我会从最简单的案子着手，例如，只要那些能够将圣诞的美好感觉呈现出来就是我要做的第一步。电台有几项圣诞广告案子要找，应该也算是圣诞广告了。我就是想把圣诞的那种温馨和气氛给再次呈现出来。就像这则可口可乐的圣诞广告，用首可以激起气氛的歌曲，加插画面，就可呈现圣诞感觉，虽没新意，也不算草草了事。(点击看Coca-Cola Summer Commercial 2011)

Morrisons Christmas Advert 2011

2011-11-22T14:04:00.001+08:00

我之所以特别对这则Morrisons的广告有兴趣，是因为片子所选用的小广场，就是我初到伦敦工作一年的地方。我从视频所看到的广场，左边有一间Borders书店，书店里有一座星巴克，我就在里头工作，和其他来自马来西亚的朋友辛勤地在这里度过一年的咖啡座生活。每到夏天，我们就得将桌椅搬到这广场上，那些桌椅也是非常够重的。小休十分，我回到广场右边买薄饼吃，吃完了，就在那打电话回家和拨电给好朋友。无论如何，一看见这里，满满的回忆就回来了。

Bad Meets Evil ft. Bruno Mars - Lighters

2011-11-21T13:40:00.001+08:00

我们在听着这首大家都认为很catchy的歌。

歌曲好像给着大家遥不可及的希望。

我们没有显露像Eminem那样frustrated的饶舌，

只抱着像Bruno Mars对满天星光的黯淡期待。

我们都不敢奢侈太多，

我们都小心翼翼经营。

可以做的，就是保有那份永不毁灭的希望。

It's a sky full of lighters，

我们如斯盼望。

John Lewis Christmas Advert 2011

2011-11-21T03:54:00.003+08:00

Out of all Christmas adverts of retail, John Lewis' is still the one which caught my attention most. It is not something extraordinary new, yet it set up a traditional twist and I fell for it. It magnified the "waiting' moment but then it had a good twist. Again, to live a middle-class life as portraited in the advert is not an easy job.

John Lewis是目前为止在今年我看见的最感人英国零售百货圣诞广告。不是说Mark & Spencer星光灿烂不好，只是这John Lewis的广告更重要害，因为广告直接和客户的产品挂钩，所产生的情绪很直接和公司品牌产生关系。片中的童星也真会选，并不是那种演技派的，而是很自然就可以流露出天真的表情，而且他普通得来像一般孩子一样。选角就是要这样吧。我看了很多次，我也知道，来到尾声那一幕，我才知道其转折。

Mark & Spencer Christmas Advert 2011

2011-11-20T12:21:00.005+08:00

这是我第一次几乎看遍英国零售百货公司的圣诞广告。这是到后来的后来，我才发现Mark & Spencer用了X Factor决赛入围歌手作为圣诞广告的招牌，还唱了这首动听的“When You Wish Upon A Star”。X Factor在英国还算大件事，犹如美国的American Idol，很能激起群体国民意识。这支广告做得星光灿烂，可这其中的赞助费用我不敢想象。经济状况都已经很不良好了，这应该算是豪迈的一掷。

It's always great with a team of stars to bright up your advert, that goes fantastic with Mark & Spencer's Christmas advert 2011. All the X Factor finalists singing "When You Wish Upon A Star" is such adorable and making M&S starry. A great advert cannot go without a touching music. Just that it has not yet triggered my emotion to rush to the store.

Sunday Preview - Snow White

2011-11-20T10:03:00.005+08:00

最近很凑巧有两部根据白雪公主改编的电影。首先，我看了《Snow White and the Huntsman》的预告。制作看起来很像好莱坞的大片，还标着“from the producer of Alice in the Wonderland”。Charlize Theron饰演的女王很有气势，Chris Hemsworth饰演的Huntsmen也还ok，只是局的Kristen Stewart饰演的白雪公主有些怪怪的感觉，感觉上白雪公主至纯无邪的气质在她身上找不到。但是无疑的，这是我期待的电影之一。另一部是《Mirror Mirror》，由Julia Roberts饰演恶毒女王，但是这一部反而是比较comedy，由Julia Roberts来诠释应该很好笑。

Oh brilliant! there are two Snow-White movies this coming spring and summer. Spring is Mirror Mirror, then summer is Snow White and the Huntsman. I first watched the trailer of Snow White and the Huntsman, by Rupert Sanders. It seemes like a big production with war scenes and such. And the queen by Charlize Theron is fantastic. Then I watched Mirror Mirror by Tarsem Singh, gosh, it is a more comedic movie and yes, I would love to see it and have a good laugh.

Slow Moving Millie - Please, Please, Please

2011-11-19T15:05:00.002+08:00

前几天看了英国John Lewis百货公司的圣诞广告，广告中的曲子来自Slow Moving Millie的Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want。Slow Moving Millie是艺名，那个女歌手叫Amelia Warner，来自英国Herefordshire。说真的，她这首歌和John Lewis的广告是绝配！她的另一首Beast被用在Virgin Media Advert。

Lose Your Belly Fast

2011-11-17T17:25:00.002+08:00

在网上看见这则广告。虽然我觉得很disturbed，但是也觉得很有impact。如此Sell男人，毕竟对我的冲击很大。

Glee - Rumour Has It / Someone Like You

2011-11-15T02:37:00.000+08:00

Adele的魅力实在是无法招架。很多歌星都有cover她的歌。Glee在这里一次过cover了Adele的Rumour Has It和Someone Like You。只是这一次，Glee将Someone Like You混进了Rumour Has It里头，无疑是一种很适合在台上表演的歌曲，变成一种可以边唱边跳的表演舞曲，实在也精彩。虽然很多人说原汁原味好，但是，如果是翻唱得话，如果还是原汁原味，不如我听原唱者的更好。

David Guetta ft Sia - Titanium

2011-11-14T12:23:00.002+08:00

昨晚一直在听Titanium。

副歌部分是这样的：

I am bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

是的。

你射我，但我没倒下，因我是钛。

是要练就成为强如钛元素才有如此功力，有生之年多么痛苦的经历。

强悍、冰冷，能抵挡杀伤力强劲的子弹。

不成仙，终成钛，刀枪不入。变钛成全自己。

Jay Chou - Exclamation Mark

2011-11-13T14:33:00.000+08:00

Jay Chou's latest album Exclamation Mark is now released! I particularly love this track 水手怕水 Sailor Afraids of Water. Track List: 1) Exclamation Mark 2) Ecstasy Song 3) Mine Mine 4) Princess Sickness 5) How Are You? 6) Healing Dumpling 7) Wounded Piano 8) Sailor Afraid of Water 9) End of the World Yet 10) Shadow Play 11) Super Run Goddess.

Sunday Preview - Let's Greek

2011-11-13T09:48:00.005+08:00

这部希腊电影《To Tango ton Hristougennon》（The Christmas Tango, 圣诞探戈）由电视导演Nikos Koutelidakis执导，改编自Yiannis Xanthoulis的小说。故事发生在圣诞节，一名老将遇上一名年轻人，勾出1970年发生过的刻骨铭心，故事周旋在害羞兵士、严峻中尉、陆军上校和她妻子之间。继《Dogtooth》，导演Yorgos Lanthimos有另一部风格怪诞的电影《Alps》。故事讲述一家公司提供特别服务，让失去亲人的伤心人聘请暂时替代失去的人。希腊电影，开始在出征世界版图。

I watched a trailer named The Christmas Tango. It is a Greek film directed by Nikos Koutelidakis, and adapted from Yannis Xanthoulis' fiction. It is best to be shown during Christmas time, as the story started from a Christmas day, an encounter of a 65 years old lieutenant and a bashful soldier dancing tango. The is a nice and simple e-description about The Christmas Day, click here. Dogtooth director Yorgos Lanthimos' new film Alps is as eccentric as Dogtooth. The film is about a service offering stasnd-ins for the recent deceased. It is dark and black humour.

Xperia Play - Lady Cop Kristen

2011-11-11T17:00:00.001+08:00

At first I thought this ad was lame.

Xperia Play- Pwnage

2011-11-11T16:00:00.000+08:00

Then it caught my attention when I saw the second one.

Xperia Play - Kristen is killing it

2011-11-11T15:04:00.000+08:00

I started to think, it was quite a fun campaign to execute.

Xperia Play - Kristennetsirk

2011-11-11T11:05:00.000+08:00

Slowly I understood, because of Kristen Schaal, it worked.

Xperia Play - Kittenliscious

2011-11-11T09:06:00.001+08:00

At last, I think this one is funny :) and I had a good laugh.

最好别用脑

2011-11-10T16:15:00.002+08:00

虽然我的工作需要经常用脑，但是我已经不想用脑。就是那种不必多想的东西，一看就明白最好，不必费精神浪费心力，一看就懂。我也不知道我何时变得如此懒惰。总觉得这样子是不应该的，但是依然很懒惰。以上这则网络广告我剪录下来，就是要这种最好别用脑的广告。

Skating with Sony Xperia Neo

2011-11-10T08:32:00.002+08:00

这广告很长。点子很简单，只是用手机当成自己的眼睛然后滑板。其实，也没什么大不了，也真的不怎么酷。我看了，还是觉得Samsung那个unleash your fingers超酷的。

Nokia N9 Journey

2011-11-10T05:17:00.001+08:00

Again, watching those mobile advertising, I felt they are all becoming movie, which means, doing a commercial, unlike the previous time, as if we are making a movie to please the audience. Audience's senses must be entertained, only then we will get full attention from them, to essentially make an little move of interest into it. It his challenging more than ever.

Samsung Mobile - Unleash Your Finger

2011-11-09T22:05:00.002+08:00

现在做广告好像拍电影一样要让观众感觉爽，或要娱乐观众才引起关注。一句tagline是不够的，文字的力量不够多样化/多媒体化（或者文字的呈现方式也要很多媒体化）。什么以前人家说独特的广告是别的牌子取代不了你的牌子，就是人家的牌子挤不进你的广告里。可是就看这则Samsung Mobile的广告，谁说其它牌子的手机挤不进去取代它？从前那些所谓的广告原理都好像的面临时代严峻的考验。就像这则广告，融合了人纯属的技巧，动画和音乐，就是看得够爽。

Wonder Girls - Be My Baby

2011-11-07T14:19:00.004+08:00

Wonder Girls第二张专辑的首发单曲“Be My Baby”MV上载了！虽然黑白feel有些像Beyonce之前的MV，但是她们的魅力很吸引！这张专辑叫《Wonder World》收录12首歌曲，好期待哟！

Wonder Girls are back with their second album! It was reported that they are having Jonte, Beyonce's choreographer on the team for this album, no WONDER! Super!

Radical Face - Welcome Home

2011-11-05T00:05:00.001+08:00

我在看以上视频时，发觉那首歌非常熟悉。我听过，我也因为这音乐感动过。可是我好像不记得我在哪里听过。然后我找出这首歌的一些资料，歌名叫Welcome Home，由Radical Face主唱。听这首歌，所有的神经都为之精神，很有激发的效果。就是那些能激起生活涟漪的音乐和节奏。希望你也能和我一样给这些生命的音乐感动，然后继续好好活下去。

I wish you are thrilled listening to this song. I have some memories of knowing this song before but I do not remember. But then, things come back slowly. it was I AM NIKON, that I know I was thrilled because of the music and the visual.

Rihanna - We Found Love

2011-11-04T14:03:00.000+08:00

We Found Love是雷哈娜最新专辑《Talk That Talk》中的首打单曲。Rihanna太爷厉害了吧，我比她大整10年，在这个周末晚我感觉有些无地自容（我总是会做一些无谓的比较）。这首MV有很特别的开场白，可是MV越看下去，越像两个在磕药的年轻男女的恋爱。只是，MV让我回想起一些英国的日子。

No-Life Lunch Menu

2011-11-03T16:01:00.001+08:00

Lunch @ Kafeteria Sri Pentas

2011-11-03T11:29:00.001+08:00

我最喜欢到公司底楼的食堂吃午饭。理由无他，经济实惠兼方便。当然食物属于清真教食品标准，所以很多同事都会到别的地方午餐。我则无所谓，而且还有抽烟区。这吃饭的标准和我的性格相宜。请看那些丰富实惠的经济饭，那就是我。我可以从这些午饭中看见自己的品格。

If you consider to save up from all those office lunches, the canteen attached to a company is normally a good choice. I love the word canteen. If you break it up, it become "can" and "teen". Can teen! As if I could go back to those teeny youth.

Nuit Blanche - Arev Manoukian

2011-11-01T00:02:00.002+08:00

这是spyfilms2009上载的片子，感觉和Sony 3D Two Worlds的广告点子一模一样，但是显然这个的感觉太强了。这是将某个moment放大放慢的感觉，完全靠视觉效果和音乐。可是，拍得真得太好了，那是每个人都想拥有的冲动。是的，就是那种不管一切的冲动，那是我一直在寻找的冲动。

Coldplay - Hurts Like Heaven

2011-10-31T23:22:00.002+08:00

我不介意Coldplay的新专辑到底是否彻底新意。我就是喜欢他们一连串的节奏，总可以让我进入超现实的世界。还没有到午夜，虽然睡意正浓，但是不舍得睡觉。总是在发现好音乐时，想多留几分美好时光留住今晚的美丽回忆。今日和麻烦同事的争论觉得很多余。她说，坚持死去后再多美好回忆也无济于事。我说，若死了，留下的是美好回忆，那也是一件好事。显然我们的看法有很大的分歧。不是我没有包容她，只是再多的讨论也是多余的，因为我看见那个杯子满得装不下其它。可能因为这白天的伤脑让我更留恋这刻的宁静。

Slimming Coffee NatureGift

2011-10-31T00:53:00.001+08:00

这个广告很夸张，娱乐效用很高。讲真的，在泰国曼谷很少看见过胖的女人或男人，所以如果这个瘦身咖啡的广告没有如此夸张，好像起不了什么作用。这样的点子在马来西亚好像行得通，但是却没有人这样做点子。XX的，如果能够做一单如此的广告，再多的废材广告我都肯做！

Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston - You Got To Go

2011-10-30T22:13:00.003+08:00

屠妖节晚去了看英国DJ队Above & Beyond来KL推盘，是他们的Group Therapy Tour。本来很想在家睡觉，最后还是给朋友拖去了。DJ Simon和DJ Terrence后，才到Above & Beyond，我几乎都已经打瞌睡。但是，他们一接手推盘，我即刻精神为之一振！太强了，强到可以推掉我的睡意。他们的音乐属于trance/ progressive trance。请马上看以上视频！然后投入节奏。

This Deepavali was not just an sleeping holiday for me. I went out at night with mates for the Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Tour at KL Live Centre. It was absolutely exciting, I loved the beat. They always type on some words on the big screen, which was brilliant to connect the crowd, as the crowd will went crazy seeing those messages. It was a total fun Deepavali.

Sunday Preview - Horror Halloween

2011-10-30T09:42:00.002+08:00

万圣节期间有很多鬼片和吓人的片子上映。这套《The Devil Inside》（心中的恶魔）应该是超恐怖的吧。一个母亲鬼上身遭驱魔不成，长大了的女儿去寻找母亲并要救她，于是...预告片看得很吓人，在戏院看会很恐怖的，我一定会遮眼睛。另外一部恐怖片是《11.11.11》，说的是在第11月第11天11时11分将会有另一种灵异从另一个空间进入地球。预告片也是超恐怖的。这个万圣节，大家就来些horror吧！

There are two horror movies this Halloween. It's extremely scary. the first one is The Devil Inside. It is about exorcism but this one makes people feeling tense even by watching the trailer. The other is 11.11.11, a date of horror that marks the arriving of other evils. Click here and watch the 11.11.11 trailer.

Tesco Homeplus in South Korea

2011-10-29T15:28:00.003+08:00

这是Tesco在南韩的成功扩展例子。Tesco没有坚持一定要用Tesco，反而用了Homeplus的名字，让本地人更加了解这个概念。现在的手机的确可以做很多事情，已经结合了手提电脑的科技。我们现在这么发达，有甚多好处。大家好好珍惜吧！

Sony - Don't Just Watch. Feel.

2011-10-26T18:03:00.002+08:00

这广告排的很美，美得我没有听清楚旁白。我完成不知道其实到底发生什么事情，只知道好像有巨大的万有引力将这男女给拉在一起。就这样美丽的画面，我都不在意对白。最后看见：Sony - Don't Just Watch. Feel。这个tagline真的很重要吗？

Feist - The Circle Married The Line

2011-10-25T00:33:00.001+08:00

加拿大唱作才华歌手Feist出了最新专辑《Metals》。她的嗓音应该很少人会不喜欢吧。这叫做天赐之音，真像天使般的声音。专辑中，我最喜欢这首The Circle Married The Line，很能激起自省的动力。说她要寻找地平线，让自己看得更清楚。请在晚上时一个人静静地欣赏，慢慢去体会生后给你带来的意义。

Feist again amazes us with her latest album Metals. Her vocal is angelic. I love this song very much - The Circle Married The Line, as well as A Commotion and Bittersweet Melodies. She is not what we presume as 1,2,3,4-alike, she is always a surprise.

Rihanna - California King Bed

2011-10-24T22:49:00.002+08:00

Rihanna's latest album Talk That Talk is out this coming November, This is the single, California King Bed, from album Loud. The album Loud is a success since last year. This MV was uploaded on May 6, 2011, and I saw it a few day ago. A slow burner love song for me, so Rihanna's vocal is kind of everything in this single. I just could not understand that the title could be as it is.

The School of Life

2011-10-24T22:02:00.004+08:00

无意中在网上发现的生活学校。应该说，到这所学校学习如何生活。点子非常有趣，而且对症下药。这正是现代虚弱的我们所需要的。我已经不再相信大学学术派，跟社会地球越扯越远。生活中有许多事情值得我们学习。The School of Life提供的课程包括如何平衡工作与生活、如何面对死亡、如何酷、如何找到你爱死的工作、如何谈得更愉快、如何享受你的身体......其中还包括所谓的购书治疗(Bibliotherapy)、精神治疗(Psychotherapy)等等，就请赶快浏览 http://www.theschooloflife.com。

Coldplay - Paradise

2011-10-23T08:46:00.000+08:00

这支MV唤起我对英国伦敦、地铁和涂鸦的回忆。如果你喜欢冷玩，你就是喜欢冷玩。这首Paradise没有太大惊喜，但是就是喜欢。我超喜欢里头的大象，好可爱。他们的摇滚有自省的作用，对人生有一种第三者的距离，尤其是这首歌。

Woody Allen - Midnight in Paris

2011-10-22T00:34:00.000+08:00

巴黎肯定是超吸引人的，每个人都想去的浪漫之都。很多关于巴黎的电影都让我着迷，更让我有冲动向在此飞到巴黎。我看了今年康城影展的开幕电影《Midnight in Paris》（午夜巴黎）。说白了，这其实就是撞鬼的故事。到了午夜，一个美国作者撞鬼，不只如此，他撞见的是20年代的鬼。那个时代的文化、服饰和氛围真的好迷人。影片中的服装设计很华丽，巴黎的夜景很美。除了那些，这只不过是另一部Woody Allen的电影。

A Woody Allen's film with starry casts is absolutely interesting, but it seemed to me as another film from the director. I love the costume design most, they are pretty and fantastic. Of course, the actors and actresses are very attractive. After all, it show the beautiful side of Paris, and Paris in midnight is really beautiful.

Cecile Corbel - Arrietty's Song

2011-10-21T00:12:00.000+08:00

等了好久终于有机会看米林宏昌执导、宮崎駿编剧的动画片《借りぐらしのアリエッティ》（借物少女艾莉缇）。这故事改编自英国作家Mary Norton的小说《The Borrowers》。故事很简单，就叙说小人国在人类的世界其实是借物者。每当他们被发现，他们就得搬迁。如果是宮崎駿迷，这是绝对不能错过的好片。

Finally I have watched the long-awaited animation The Borrower Arrietty trailer. Again I am amazed by the story and the details of the animation. The soundtrack is a bonus, with Cecile Corbel dreamy angelic music, it magnify the tiny little world of Arrietty. Satisfied.

Hornet vs Bees

2011-10-20T07:57:00.005+08:00

几年前看了关于大黄蜂hornet屠杀蜜蜂的视频(http://feiziyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/japanese-giant-hornet.html)觉得恐怖冒冷汗。最近我和同事谈起这件大自然屠杀事件时，顺便上网查询其它视频，却让我发现以上的精彩片断。蜜蜂长期和敌蜂针锋相对，它们发展出一个被预防屠杀的存活技巧，看了之后真要佩服它们的智慧。不过那是一只大黄蜂vs群体蜜蜂，要是大黄蜂是一群来攻击，恐怕...

The Antlers - I Don't Want Love

2011-10-17T22:58:00.003+08:00

周日晚很迟睡。睡3小时后起身去上班。本来以为今天在公司又是行尸走肉过一天。除了早上时分一直不停打瞌睡，接下来的时间我还能提起精神去干事。难道是年纪大了，睡眠可以减少？我好像不相信这回事（因我很爱睡）。周一经常都是最惨、最难过的日子。因为周末不但没有补眠，而且还超支。这个星期一还算神奇。现在打算睡觉，却没有睡意。不过写完了这篇，我应该会去睡觉。我已经养成了那种只要有机会躺下来睡意就立刻产生的神奇。我就是一直在听这首The Antlers的I Don't Want Love，感觉轻轻地漂浮，脑袋开始抛空。就是这种感觉，我入眠时将会忘掉今日的烦躁。

When I was watching the trailer of Weekend, the background music is familiar. I thought, I knew this song, I listened to it before, but I could not recall the names. Later I found out it was 'I Don't Want Love', the first track from The Antlers' latest album Burst Apart. Honestly, when I found a song I like so much from an album, I would keep listening to it and tend to forget others. The song that I like most (from Burst Apart) was Hound. Yet, It was never too late to look back and found something extraordinary.

David Guetta - Without You (ft. Usher)

2011-10-16T16:38:00.006+08:00

巴西6:07am；我输了，我不能等。

南非6:07pm；没有你，我就赢不了。

泰国4:07am；我迷失。我空虚。

美国2:07pm；没有你，我就不会不同。

... ...

没有你，世界永远孤独。有你，大陆因你而移。国界粉碎，世界联合。

又一次，大卫库塔将派队欢乐的精神注入这首Without You。他的音乐，就是能够带你去一处虑过烦恼的天堂，大家就纯粹来一次共舞派对。他的beat，就是起着这种作用。就像MV中的男女在共舞欢乐，全世界都连在一起。就像这样的派对，我向往。

David Guetta did it again. This song, Without You, featuring Usher, is a universal party music. Despite our colours, our language, our differences, we long for happiness. When we are in peace, we are dancing in happiness. That's why I love this video very much. Bravo! Let's dance :)

Sunday Preview - Ryan Gosling

2011-10-16T14:17:00.001+08:00

第一次看Ryan Gosling是他主演的《Half Nelson》，觉得这个演员以后的星路应该还不错。近来，他又很多不片子上演。最近的《Drive》在康城影展赢得了最佳导演。除了都演那些比较冷门的电影，他终于有机会主演商业喜剧片《Crazy, Stupid, Love》，和Steve Careel飙戏。接着，在George Clooney自编自导自演的《The Ides of March》主演主角，这是George Clooney一贯想要拍的美国政治片种。他还没有成为好莱坞的A级，但是潜能很大。他属于实力派那种，希望他能藉着一些商业片把自己变得偶像派一些。《Crazy, Stupid, Love》应该是一个很好的开始（虽然单看预告好像没有到达那个感觉）。Ryan Gosling，看好你了。

Recently, there are a few upcoming movies starring Ryan Gosling. I saw him in 'Half Nelson' and he had made an impression. Those recent release include 'Drive', 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' and 'The Ides of March'. Hopefully these are not just a rush of demand in short term. A rom-com will boost him up, I bet.

Bjork - Moon

2011-10-15T19:59:00.000+08:00

有一段时间对她没有兴趣。现在也应该是。大概对她的热情已经退热。但是却对她这张《Biophilla》有些兴趣。听完了这首单曲，大概也知道自己会不了过去那个样子。然后，也不想装自己很民主好像什么都可以一样。听听吧，听听后就罢。

The Cranberries - Fire and Soul (Preview)

2011-10-14T08:32:00.003+08:00

久违的小红莓。这个预告我重复听了几遍，喜欢鼓声和吉他慢慢铺陈的节奏。Fire and Soul感觉很清新。好期待。一直喜欢The Craberries。这最新专辑《Roses》要到明年2月才正式发行...好难等啰。

Zee Avi - 31 Days

2011-10-13T11:07:00.002+08:00

以前时间很多工作很少，写博客的次数也不算多，偶尔其中的一个月我会发疯般不停地写。现在工作实在忙得不可开交。上班时间一律不用Facebook，社交网络用率大跌。觉得自己因为工作变成了一个名副其实的宅(老)男。翻译的工作依然在进行着，感觉没完没了。正职的工作，说真的，大部分已经搞完了，而且工作量不大。现在这一刻，我真的是在偷闲。在听Zee Avi的新专辑《ghostbirds》。Zee Avi的歌，就是有那种让人放松心情的作用。我既刻变得软绵绵的很想睡觉。这张专辑我尤其喜欢单曲Swell Window、31 Days和Siboh Kitak Nangis。

Sunday Preview - Let's Watch Taiwan

2011-10-09T08:19:00.002+08:00

I keep listening to this song - "Those Years" (那些年). It is written by "9knifes" (九把刀), a famous fiction blogger from Taiwan. The song is the theme song for his first feature film "You Are The Apple of My Eye" (《那些年，我们一起追过的女孩》, literally it means "those years, those girls we wooed"). Those bittersweet of high school and first love memory, we would love to reminisce.

Those years might be unbearable lightness, yet Another Taiwanese feature "Seedig Bale" (《赛德克·巴莱》) by director Wei Te Sheng should be the heaviness. The Seediq tribe were forced to fight for their own during ruling of Japanese. It's a movie of war, lost, and fighting for Seedig's faith. It looks like a great production. Watch the trailer here: Sun Flags & Rainbow Bridge.

I AM NIKON

2011-10-08T09:14:00.001+08:00

最近同事们接到一个案子，是Nikon的I AM广告。我们大家就到youtube看其电视广告。大家的第一个反应，就是觉得那首背景歌曲很好听，很能激奋人心。在我看着看着的时候，觉得有些像National Geographic的feel。现在的广告拍成像短片一样。只要是大制作，就已经有震撼力。用I AM 什么什么去定义自己的生活，我喜欢。

The Dazzling Cafe @ Kota Damansara

2011-10-05T20:21:00.003+08:00

以前经常和朋友Keith去吃然后到网卡工作。最近因为大家都全职，所以没有自由工作的时间。但是freelance依然不间断。就在这个周末，我们选了一间在Kota Damansara的kopitiam，打算吃后工作。他点咖喱面，我点星洲米粉。全都不错。饱餐后就开始工作，不停工作，也不停点饮料，又再次重过freelance的日子，虽然只是一个周末。

Just Stand Up!

2011-10-02T14:18:00.002+08:00

友人在FB转载了这Just Stand Up To Cancer视频，我多手点击结果花了一些时间感动。说真的，我更有兴趣看众超级女歌手同台表演飙歌。如果我这样想的话，应该符合了该promo的初衷，就是要能吸引成千上万的人观看然后拨电做慈善。就这样吧，我就是来消费而已吧？不是的，我只是来听歌的。歌是好听的，众聚集让人兴奋。但是癌症基本是一项很私人的事情。我们自己必须拿出勇气去面对生活。Just stand up，勇于面对，好好去生活、感恩。我们可以去到很多意想不到的地方。

Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Carrie Underwood, Keyshia Cole, Ashanti, Ciara, and Nicole Scherzinger performed "Just Stand Up! To Cancer" to help raise support for others to stand up to cancer. Great song and great collaboration. Just stand up!

Sunday Preview - Hola!

2011-10-02T00:30:00.000+08:00

大师阿莫多瓦新片《La piel que habito》（吾栖之肤）很让人期待。他的电影总是有离奇的感觉。电影讲述一名外科医生试图制造出新型伏击，在真人身上进行实验。这人对于这医生只是一件试验品。人不但是一个臭皮，还有灵魂。如果没有灵魂，就只是皮了。另外一部由依格侠导的西班牙片《Balada triste de trompeta》（最后的马戏团）。西班牙内战时期，快乐小丑被雇在马戏团服务，他在马戏中大事屠杀兵士。故事也是够疯癫的。西班牙电影有种歇斯底里的疯。

Almodavar's new film The Skin I Live in is going to show everywhere else but not Malaysia. I always wanted to watch Almodavar's movie. I anticipate his and yet I do not have my wish come true. Never mind, there is always an alternative. The other Spanish movie The Last Circus by Álex de la Iglesia is quite bizarrely interesting. A clown ss hired to serve in a circus during Spanish Civic War and he massacres the entire platoon. Revenge? Hola! Let's watch some Spanish films.

Chiara Mastroianni & Paul Schneider - Ici Londres

2011-10-01T00:00:00.000+08:00

继《Les Chansons d'amour》（巴黎小情歌）后，导演Christophe Honore和作曲人Alex Beaupain再次合作另一部音乐剧情电影《Les Bien-aimés》（被爱的人），演员班底几乎一样，还多了老戏骨Catherine Deneuve。这首动听的歌曲“Ici Londres”由Chiara Mastroianni和Paul Schneider演唱。在这部独特、怀旧又浪漫的作品中，他们饰演的角色将我们带入了60年代的布拉格、80年代的伦敦、911事件时的世界和今日的

巴黎。

故事涉及三个城市：布拉格、伦敦巴黎。在上世纪60年代，巴黎女子新婚丈夫来到布拉格，然而随着俄国坦克开进这座城市，两人的爱情也走到的尽头，她回到法国。30年后，女儿在伦敦遇到了意中人并疯狂爱上他，但她却认为自己失去与人相爱的能力。

This song, Ici Londres, from the new movie by Christophe Honore is okay, at least it catches my attention. I have paid attention to Honore's films, even Homme au Bain, but not all of them are my cup of tea. But I love Les Chansons d'amour, I love it, I love the songs. Hopefully this The Beloved is as good as Love Songs.

張震嶽 - 我會想念妳

2011-09-30T00:06:00.003+08:00

I do not listen to Chinese songs often and I do not have a concrete reason. But when I listen, I always go back to those I like, such as A Yue. He is one of my favourites, as a matter of fact, he might be the only one who is appealing to me. I like his directness and simplicity, those words suddenly become his songs. And also, I am liking his attitude. This song, I'll Miss You, I like it a lot. I will miss you, till I see you again...

不知道为什么自己甚少听中文歌。听最多、最喜欢的依然是張震嶽。就是張震嶽。我喜欢他的直接、属于他的一种不羁方式。也很喜欢这首我会想念你。是的，我会想念你，直到我们再相遇。生命来到这个时刻，直到相遇很难，遇到合拍的更难。感觉对的好像在这个念头特别难发生。我会想念你，也因我的耐心多了。我们何时能再相遇呢？

Beirut - Goshen

2011-09-29T00:04:00.002+08:00

有些时候担心分享自己所喜欢的不被人喜欢。唯有在自己独立一人的时候才让真正的自己现身，让音乐放得大声一些，尽量做回自己。那都是自己一个人的时候，才可以不管其他人，因为都没有其他人。不知道是否我的妥协度太高或太热诚，别人的声音就让其嘹亮吧。不要与人争执，不要不必要的麻烦。每每等到临睡前，剩下自己一个人结束夜晚时，就会很自然听自己喜欢的音乐，不必多想第二者的存在。就只有自己，和喜欢的音乐，和不必承受因为有你有他的压力。原来自己的孤独来自于此。我也曾经认为自己的配合度很高。真的。就从这结束开始，成全自己。

Roman Polanski - Carnage

2011-09-28T22:07:00.003+08:00

精彩的剧本，就该由资深的演员演绎。我看了导演Roman Polanski的新片《Carnage》（今晚谁当家）我就即可爱上这个故事。两对父母因为各自孩子的争执约好在一格下午讨论这件事情。故事有很夸张的元素和歇斯底里的人物性格，而且有很浓的另类幽默。一个这么简单的故事，感觉却很有张力。而且演员的演技很精彩，我很想马上就看。

Carnage is a film by Roman Polanski adapted from Yasmina Reza's play, which makes the film interesting. The characters are hysterical, I reckon the actors enjoyed playing those characters. This makes me want to read the play and see the play. Both Yasmina Reza and Roman Polanski are talented!

Sigur Ros - Festival

2011-09-28T17:17:00.002+08:00

This song was featured in the movie 127 Hours. They uploaded the this video not long ago. It was fantastic to see them live, I had a chance when I was in London. I always love their music, till now. And this track is fantastic, heart-touching. I could forget everything else, like a instant breakaway.

Joanna Wang - Times of Your Life

2011-09-27T00:26:00.000+08:00

赶完手头上的工作，我想我要好好正视自己的生活。目前不能面对，却刚好冲着而来。濒临崩溃好几次，也总希望能够找个出口。我觉得我已经变了，变成一个自己也不喜欢的人。我的脾气变得很大很暴力。我变得一意孤行。我看事情的眼光带有很多不肖。然后，我一直认为那些刻苦铭心的经历让我如此。可是，我也不能走不出阴影长期以这位借口。我也不想再浪费仅有的丁点青春。就这样吧:times of your life, is determined by yourself.

有声胜无声

2011-09-26T22:09:00.002+08:00

昨晚在床上闭上眼睛想睡觉时，我知觉地发出感叹声，接着我发现我，放声近似哭。闭着眼睛。痛心太多工作没能赶完，稿期直逼，逼得我忍不住放声解压。没有眼泪。哭不出眼泪。只是有痛心的声音，我真觉得那一刻我就要疯了。我从来没要看见自己是这个样子，我也觉得陌生。

Sunday Preview - Feeling A Little Bit Gay

2011-09-25T00:52:00.003+08:00

我不是一个喜欢gay-themed电影的人，但是我看了这部关于两个男人在周末邂逅的电影预告片《Weekend》，我就像一见钟情喜欢上这部电影的节奏、画面和音乐（预告的音乐好听，希望电影本身亦如此）。这是一部关于美好邂逅，然后要对生活做选择的故事，表达了现代人所面对的生活。我们可能遇见浪漫，但是我们好像也不想放弃对生活的理想。还真想看这部电影。另外一部是Run Lola Run导演Tom Tykwer的新电影《3》，说得是两男一女的三角恋情性爱（女男、男女、男男），当然Tom Tykwer的电影手法常识引人注目，可是，就故事而言，我还是喜欢从不刻意的角色引发深一层的思考。

Weekend is not just a movie about gay one-night stand, it explores more than that, about life, what you wish to do in life. That is what fascinates me, about encounters of human being, albeit any kind of relationships. The trailer makes us believe the film is watchable. A new film by Tom Tykwer, 3 , is about triangle relationship among a woman and two men. This is a full triangle sex and relationship. So, let's see...trailer 3.

I Break Horses - Winter Beats

2011-09-23T20:55:00.002+08:00

这是瑞典乐队I Break Horses的首发专辑《Hearts》。乐种属于shoegaze，有许多电子音乐的indie。听不清他们唱什么，一直在呢喃着歌词。但是无损歌曲的美妙。或许就是爱上这种类型的音乐而一直在寻找这些自己喜欢的声音。听到这些音乐，就有很大的感动。

Hearts is the first album by Swedish duo I Break Horses. Even the name suggested they listen to Smog, but it was a total different story. I like the ambiance created, a bit cold and loitering on the same point and keep repeating. Like a loop, you hardly get out of it. Recarnation.
