Star Wars now on TOM TOM GPS - YODA

Last May I posted the Darth Vader version of the Tom Tom GPS Ads. Here's another sequel to the Star Wars© Tom Tom commercial. I can't stop loving this!

DJ Courses This Summer!

OK, it's been like forever that I haven't teached. So I thought why not bring it back again? Since I always get phone calls asking me if I can spare them some time to learn the art of turntablism. This is only for students based in Kuwait.

Here are some of the latest creative ads we made at work. This is for our client's website launch. It reads in Arabic, "Find out more about the best deals online", "Find out more about great discounts online" and "Find out more about amazing price cuts online" www.electrozan.com

Football Greats featured on LV ad.

I am always fascinated by the picture quality of LV ads, and this is the latest of their series.

World Cup Crazy!

Been busy lately, haven't had the time to blog about things. One of them is the World Cup! There's been a lot of weird things happening at the tournament, but it's getting better each match, Let's wait and see!

"Tomorrow"

Last night was the Arts & Music Show, a talent show produced by the grade school students at the American International School and Aliyah is a part of it with group and a solo performance. The auditorium was packed, people from different nationalities, parents, teachers, friends and students filled the seats. We entered, Aliyah was a bit nervous after seeing the crowd, I guess that's a normal thing because even myself would have butterflies in my stomach performing on stage in front of those people. Showtime! At the second half of the show, the emcee, (who's also their Arts & Music teacher) announced a 'special' treat for the audience, and said that it's a rare moment that they'd be having a solo performance from a very talented young girl from grade 4 and she calls Aliyah onstage and the applause! Aliyah gave a small introduction about herself and the song she'll be singing, "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie, with a huge Annie poster projected on the background wall. Music starts, a karaoke version of the original, after the first verse, the unexpected happened, the cd starts skipping! Aliyah stops singing and stands right there with a smile looking straight at the control booth, the music stops, the emcee jumps in the scene, the crowd reaction was mixed, and we waited, after 20 seconds of no music, the emcee went to her and asked her if she wants to do it in a cappella, and she says yes! The crowd applause was crazy, i heard some whistling, yelling "yeah!" in the audience. And she takes off.. but just when she's about to sing, the music plays again, (damn! I'm really hating the guy in the control room), Aliyah for a split second looked at me, and I gave her a nod to "go on", and she did, with a sweet smile and a bit of action on her singing, I knew it wasn't there when we practised it at home, I told her that when things go wrong and you're on stage, smile and never look scared-be confident, remember that you are singing their song, and you have to give your best doing it! And she did! after the last verse and the ending, the auditorium was filled with applause, Aliyah got a 'Standing Ovation! A wonderful performance, and a real great experience for Aliyah, You made us proud again, love! - You're my Superstar!

Star Wars now on TOM TOM GPS

I just wish we have it here in Kuwait, Imagine Lord Vader telling you.. "after 10 meters turn right..>breathe<.." Love it!!!

Saturday Storm: April 17, 2010

This one's every blogger's dream: To witness and cover this first-hand! It's called 'Saraya' in Arabic, a sandstorm with rains and violent winds. This one turned a Saturday morning into midnight! Really freaky experience! I was lucky enough to grab my cam and cover this! Music by Chris Mansell
