Muallaf was not shown at the charity screening (for the Gaza war victims/survivors). Talentime took its slot. Me thinks the Lembaga Censorship (not the real name but you know lah) decided that Muallaf is "sensitive". However, it will return to the republic of Singapore for another round of screenings in late February.
Aand my sister might win the tickets to watch fall out boy in Singapore. D: go win sunburst maan

First, Talentime poster!

The actress for Melur was in TARA. Guess who.

Yasmin has directed many commercials over the past years, almost all of them during the holiday/festive season. All of these commercials are for Petronas. Go search for some on YouTube and prepare to cry your heart out.
Her Petronas commercials are top notch, because they're not loud and in-your-face, but quiet and poignant, and makes you question yourself when the words
"Selamat Tahun Baru Cina"
or
"Selamat Hari Raya"
appears at the end of the clip.
Also, the ads tend to linger in one's mind very long.
What makes it even more amazing, I think, is the fact that she (probably) does not speak the Chinese dialects in the CNY09 commercial, nor the Indian dialects in her previous Deepavali commercials, but manages to make them carry not only a brand for advertising's sake, but also a thought-provoking message. Truly, she is a Malaysian to be admired.
(after i showed the ad to my parents [they had to listen separately cos only got one headphone here], the ad came on the tv!)
