Of commercials and what nots.

I'm sure you've all caught at least one of Yasmin Ahmad's commercials... and this is my favourite one.



It's so adorable. And it comes across unrehearsed and genuine.

I don't really like the MCYS funeral "beautifully imperfect" one. Firstly, an imperfection can be perfected, if need be. Snoring, if you ask me, is a bit too difficult to give up because even surgery can fail. Farting, is another thing that shouldn't be considered as an imperfection. It's a bodily function! Not farting is the imperfection. And if one accepts a person, flaws and all, than it doesn't qualify as an imperfection anymore, does it? Snoring, in this case obviously becomes a trait that she grew fond off. Don't tell me that it became "beautifully imperfect". It is something she got used to and grew to appreciate.

You know what I propose would be a better example of something beautiful yet imperfect... A fat wife whom the husband cannot help but love anyway, despite hating the gut that spills out from the side of her jeans.

In this case, obviously, the wife can do something about her weight but chooses not to - thus the imperfection. The beauty of it all lies here; picture the poor husband who goes to sleep with a fattay every night, yet never once commited adultery because he loves everything else about her WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HER WEIGHT. Now if this is not beautiful and imperfect, I do not know what is.

Now I'm thinking about how fat I've become. I better lose the gut. Before I get all sorts of weight related diseases and become completely imperfect and maybe even invalid.
