Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Just came back from visiting my sayang in KL. It's the merdeka celebration weekend..lot's of parades and celebration happenings everywhere . We managed to catch glimpse of fireworks from the apt's balcony, they were shoot from Putrajaya, KLCC, Dataran Merdaka . Malaysia seem to celebrate their 50th Independence Day in a Big way..


I've been watching lots of tv too, I fell in love with this special merdeka ad by Petronas. It's so cute , candid and real. Tan Hong Ming in Love is about a primary school student declaring that he secretly likes his best friend Umi Kazrina and wants to take her out on a date. He doesn’t want to ask her out because he says he is shy and that everybody will laugh at him.

The crew then interviews Umi and asks her if she has a best friend and boyfriend..guess what were her answers?

What makes the short commercial so special is the look of surprise and joy on Tan Hong Ming’s face as he sheepishly takes Umi’s hand and leads her away. . Aaaaw
