Taiwan’s armed force use Transformers for recruitment

Yein Jee — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:08:00 +0000

A Transfomers lookalike TV commercial by Taiwan’s Recruitment Center of National Armed Force. Thought that it was a prank at first glance, but it’s real, and the video could be found from its official website [Cn]…

I think the recruitment would fare better if they feature Megan Fox instead lol.

The BIG Bibik & The Little Nyonyas

Yein Jee — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:53:43 +0000

The BIG Bibik & The Little Nyonyas is the latest project from my online friend Quachee. It’s an online cookshow showcasing the Peranakan (or Nyonya) cuisine.

Peranakan refers to descendants of foreign immigrants (primarily Chinese) who assimilated with the Nusantara community during the 15th & 16th century and created a unique culture of their own. Chinese-Peranakan is often referred to as Baba (male) and Nyonya (female).

The BIG Bibik & The Little Nyonyas revolves around a Peranakan grandmother teaching her grandchildren and friends on the art of cooking Nyonya dishes. Below are the first four (of eight) webisodes…

French ‘Spiderman’ conquered Petronas Towers finally

Yein Jee — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:56:18 +0000

Alain Robert, nicknamed Spiderman, climbed successfully to the top of Malaysia’s iconic 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers on September 1…

The 46-year-old Frenchman is famous for scaling skyscrapers and famous architectures across the world, without safety equipments.

This was Robert’s third attempt to conquer the 452m Petronas Towers, formerly the world’s tallest building. He made the first attempt in 1997, and the second a decade later; both climbs were thwarted by authorities on the 60th floor.

He was subsequently arrested and fined RM2000 (~USD567) for illegal trespassing.

You Can Shine, beautiful Thai commercial

Yein Jee — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:01:31 +0000

A touching Thai commercial (more like a short film) about a deaf girl who defy odds to learn playing a violin. The product brand will only be revealed in the end; you can give a good guess of what it’s about in the final minute though…

Theme song is one of my favourite classical pieces, the Pachelbel’s Canon.
