Can't resist sharing this adorable photo of my little niece with all of you! I love those round eyes that were staring into my lens as I caught her in this photo!

I have posted another photo of her last year.

Found this good news about a popular Malaysian advertising creative director, Yasmin Ahmad. Over the years, Yasmin has produced many impressive tv commercials for Petronas. It is the tv commercial that I always look out for during the major celebrations in Malaysia, such as National Day, Hari Raya, Chinese New Year or Deepavali. Kudos to Yasmin! You have done it again!!! Here's the news clip on Yasmin's winning ad from AdWeek:


Burnett Spot Wins People's Choice Prize, Jan 8, 2009

Malaysian effort for energy company Petronas takes top honors among 5 Gold Clio winners
-By Becky Ebenkamp, Brandweek


LOS ANGELES "The Love of Tan Hong Ming," a spot by Leo Burnett in Malaysia for oil and gas concern Petronas, has won the People's Choice Award for favorite commercial.

The award was bestowed after several months of online voting among five 2008 Gold Clio-winning spots. In addition to the Petronas ad, the other nominees included efforts for Cadbury Dairy Milk, Guinness, Sony Bravia and Sony Walkman.

The winning commercial was acknowledged last night during the 35th Annual People's Choice Awards on CBS.

A public service spot, "The Love of Tan Hong Ming" tackles the topic of race by showing how children are colorblind. A young, bashful Chinese boy is interviewed about the girl he likes. When his crush comes on camera, it is revealed that she is in fact Malaysian -- and that she likes him, too.

The Clios are presented by Nielsen Business Media, which is also the parent of Adweek. The awards for creative excellence celebrate their 50th anniversary in May.

Your niece is so cute and pretty. Oh yes, I saw this advertisement, the boy is so cute.

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
