Reunion

Yet another thought provoking and heart warming festive commercial from Petronas. This time, it depicts the loneliness of a young boy, unable to picture the meaning joy and happiness.

Click here to see the video.

It is true, we often take things for granted. We do not cherish what is around us, until we are deprived of it. By that time, it is all too late. Chinese New Year and all other festivals are getting too commercialised. All the thoughts are devoted into shopping for new clothes, eating expensive meals and indulging in gamblings. But are these really the meaning of Chinese New Year?

So, my dear friends, it is time to go back to basic and understand the true meaning of happiness. Happy Chinese New Year to all.

I saw the ad, i am definitely very touched by the ad, just that it will be such a "pain", if i am the orphans who stays in orphanage and saw this ad, it will be damn painful! its like spilling salt on the wound...

Well, i guess that is why the ad works. It created an awareness that someone is out there having this "pain" while we have taken for granted the blessing we enjoy; ignorant of the bliss that others longed for.
