Digi will follow you everywhere in Malaysia

May 13, 2007 by Yein Jee

Malaysian commercial for mobile service provider Digi, featuring the company’s now famous Yellow Man mascot. The song is a remake of I Will Follow Him, an oldie made famous by Peggy March in 1960’s.

Digi is one of the major telecommunication companies in Malaysia. Its largest shareholder is Norwegian telco giant Telenor, and that creates a huge disadvantage because Malaysian government doesn’t always play fair in business decisions in order to protect the “local” companies.

Thus, Digi always have to be extra innovative to compete with the rest; and the Yellow Man is one of its major successes. This particular ad aired late last year, can’t remember when the Yellow Man first appeared though. Regardless, the campaigns help a lot to keep Digi’s competitiveness in the market.

Heavy snow in London Streatham

May 11, 2007 by Yein Jee

Video after a heavy snow in Streatham, south London, in February 2007.

The Youtuber (Michael) was on his way to a train station in early morning after the snow fall. The snow totally blanketed the cars and streets.

Locals, like Michael, may lament that as bad weather because of inconvenience. But for some people like me who stay in tropical country all our lives, this looks cool.

The only time I’ve seen snow was during my European trip in October 2005. But that’s just some sprinkles on a mountain in Switzerland.

[Update] Finally a snowy experience in 2010 during my visit to South Korea =)

Cool fountain clock at Kanazawa Station

May 5, 2007 by Yein Jee

A cool fountain-clock at the main railway station in Kanazawa, Japan. Contrary to most electronic or mechanical clocks in public areas, the fountain uses (computer programs and) little water jets to display its contexts instead. The words at the beginning of the video means Kanazawa Station.

Kanazawa is a city in north-western Ishikawa Prefecture. It’s famous for its traditional handicrafts, and it’s also a major tourist attraction among Japanese. The region is relatively unknown to foreigners though.
