Mocca ads

I've been wanting to talk about this for the.... not the longest time la. But It's been really intriguing, that i even have to blog about it, at grand ole 1am in the morning.

There has been really catchy
Mocca.com advertisements that really made me sit up and look. I hasn't exactly looked into the website yet, and nah, hasn't seen the need (or have the funds) to purchase things online. But..... Their ads are really interesting.

There's the
Selling Car which is the first one of all the Mocca ads. Very innovation i must say with *eh hem* HID lamps..... Big Boot and girls. This one is kinda impressive u know, being the first of its kind. Can't deny that the script is really fantastic.

There's the
Looking for Doggy ad too. The 2nd one. But i guess, in Marketing, there's a benchmark already by the Car ad. But it's not too bad... Girls will like it. I mean, first thought is that she's looking for a companion... in the different sense.

Finally, the latest one that came out only like 2 weeks before. The
Bodybuilder selling his house with green pipes and walls. Kinda lame. A bit gross even. Why? Sell house like sell body like that! And the muscles are bulging but... wrong place la!! Ppl want to see the house, not the body. And it's so grotesque to have "search-buy-sell-connect" wordings on the check. Ewwww......

But, i do agree..... IT DOES GRAB ATTENTION!!!

Hahahaha....



My mother was kinda lame this morning. She suddenly called me while i was on the way to work, and she's like

Mom: Ok, call me back when u are in the office

me: Oh... ok

And the weirdest thing is that she sounded like something serious happened. I have a few scenarios that i thought that would happen.


a) She said : "i'm pregnant"
I imagined my mother saying that to me... Pretty siao hor? U think la.. My mother is already 50 years old, and my younger brother is already like 23!!!! Imagine if this is the scenario. Our so-call younger brother/sister will be like our children instead of sibling with between 24 - 28 years difference (ooops!!!)

Vividly remembered a cartoon where the mother became preggers at 50..... just couldn't recall.

Just side-tracked. Back back back!!! Anyway, it's a scary thought. *shudders*

b) She said: "I'm retiring"
yeah yeah, the government encourages the folks to will till at least 62 years old before retiring. But even if she is, ok wha. 50 is a good age to retire. My papa is semi-retired liao. So, not a bad idea. I think she will like it too, then she can focus on her 'folk dance' thingy.

Anyway, it's neither situation la. It disturbed me so greatly that once i got out of the train at Bugis, i called her.

Mom: Do u notice that i always have cough?

me: ya

I was thinking, : "wha siao. What's happening?! Hope nothing worrying...."

Mom: Yesteday i went to the doctor, had sore throat... my throat very sore.

me: oh, ok...

Mom: the doctor say maybe i over-exert my throat. Maybe i talk too much (Mom's in customer service export) or teach too much folk dance (but have microphone).

Then i told the doctor that maybe i karaoked too much. The doctor say, : "yah hor. It will be good to not sing too much....."

me: Oh... (suddenly 3 strips of sweat just dropped like this -_-"')

Mom: So i am not going to sing so much. Doctor say that i should not talk too much. So i won't talk too much now. Bye bye.

And she ended the call just like that.



Eh... My mother is very funny right :)

Well, she's quite naughty, to give me a morning shock out of an innocent thing. But yeah, whatever it is, i still love her lots!!
