Change my ringtone, my SMS tone and my caller ringtone. Seriously, I have been using Mr Darcy's voice for my SMS tone for what? 3 years now? I've been using Jay Chou's "Twilight Chapter 7" for both my ringtone and caller ringtone for 2 years.
Seriously, I nearly able to do a Jay Chou rap by now...
I was watching the TV and saw this one skin care ad featuring Shila - you know, daughter of N.D. Lala who nearly won One in a Million Season 2 if she didn't sing that awful "Oops I Did it Again" again... (I mean, didn't you realise the word 'oops' in that song is subliminally telling you to NOT do it again?). Which makes me think, why the hell all girls in tv commercial spoke in that annoying cutesy voice nowadays?
Last time I watch a KOTEX ad featuring the three girls from "Kisah Kaisara", I almost threw up from the giddiness. Is it a new trend now? To speak like babies? I mean, what's wrong with saying things like, "Sekarang saya rasa lebih berkeyakinan" and give that hundred million dollar smile, rather than wiggle your shoulder, arch your back, give a puppy dog eye and say;
"Shekarrrhang, shaya rhasshe lebey berrhkyakinahn." (add annoying giggle at the end)
Like what Sophia Ridza said in that Korean talkshow, "It's becoming, for Koreans and Japanese girls to be all cutesy. If Malaysians do that, people will look at you weirdly." Like I said before, it isn't wrong to be cute. But not all the time. And moreover, if you are a Malay who speaks Malay 24/7, why the hell do you have to be all slang-ey? I have friends who have a bit of slangs, and that's because they are english speaking people since toddlers. But to have entah minah mana yang baru datang KL all prim and proper suddenly turned into babies and substitute their 'S' with an "Sh" and Perakian 'R' with American 'Rrh' just makes me wanna slap em. For God sake, if you wanna do that act in front of your boyfriend, please. Do. Whatever.
Do NOT try to be all that in front of me.
But kudos for Silkygirl's new product... that whatsitname fairness cream. I'm not talking about its cheap price of RM1.99. I'm talking about how they advertise that thing. Showing women of all colours and said that all colours are beautiful, BUT if one wants to be fairer, they have a product for that. It's nice and subtle, instead of Fairever and Fair & Lovely's rude and mocking advertisement where they use words like, "Kini anda boleh mengubah masa depan", as if being dark skinned is a ticket to damnation and the only way to live life is to be fairer.
Yes. I admit. I was extremely disturbed and disgusted by it (the 'kini anda boleh mengubah masa depan' slogan). And so are millions of other dark-skinned women out there. Face it, even Condoleezza Rice would feel the same way, though I hate her from the deepest pits of my soul.
