Petronas' Chinese New Year Ad


one commercial about Chinese New Year, that REALLY touched my heart (and made me laugh as well lol)

spot iklan sederhana tp menyentuh :
Ama2 sedang ngumpul2 dan makan bareng...lalu mulailah mereka bergosip ria - n tema favorit (typical Chinese) Ama2 : menggembar-gemborkan ttg kesuksesan anak2nya - anaknya dokter lha, lawyer lha, pinter cari duit lha, dll...and guess what?! DALAM DIALEK HOKKIEN XD

which made me laugh , karena gw bnr2 ngerti setiap kalimat di iklan itu (yeah - wa si Hokkien Lang slash Medan Lang tapi bukan ngko2 Glodok,alah) ,
and yet yes,tiap kali Ama gw ngumpul2 sama tmn2nya dan bergosip - ujung2nya akan muncul juga tema 'my son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter is successful , bla3...' itu.

...i wonder if that's a typical Chinese stereotype?XD

anyway...di ujung commercial itu,muncul sebuah mobil tak jelas dari mana - dan itu ternyata adalah anak cowonya salah satu Ama di iklan itu n anaknya selalu ngunjungin dia dan bawa dia jalan2 sama keluarganya.

well...that's really touching.

coz fact is, i think round 90% of working Chinese DON'T do that - they just visit their family (in this case, mom/dad) on CHinese New Year. On the other day of the year?

...busy,busy,busy.

the fact that the son visits his mom and takes her around with him in a family-trip , well - i wonder if my family can be like that as well? =(

...and i wonder if I can be like that son in the commercial as well?

only time knows...

a simple yet strong message in this ad :

Love of the family is life's greatest blessing =)
