I will be in Shang Hai from 30th til 2nd for China F1. I didn't know Schumi retiring is such a big deal. I hope I don't get trampled to death on sunday.

Here they are, enjoy, and leave comments. :)

Charcoal fire grilled Lamb, Horseback riding, 4x4 racing, and comfortable cabin. These features led me to the most anti climatic and physically demanding field trip ever. I wouldn't recommend it for clean freaks lets just put it that way. I did end up have a lot of fun and enjoyed the entire trip though.

Pictures of Chicago (again) and Mahattan will be online soon. Returning from a physically challenging field trip this past weekend, I stumbled on this thing on the net. It reminded me just how much New York has to offer... (tear drop).

I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant when I decided to spend my 60rmb on this film after that "the promise" disaster. Then again, you look at the roster, Director: Feng Xiao Gang, Choreographer: Yuen Wo-Ping, Score: Tan Dun, Art Direction: Tim Yip. This is the dream team of Chinese film industry. If Aliens would invade China, These are the people they would abduct. So I decided to give it a chance.

Visually stunning, and in someways better than the art direction in House of Flying Daggers, It employs stunning sets, makeup and costumes to lure audience into the semi interesting plot. I think out of these recent batch of "oh no we have to beat Crouching Tiger" costume epics, this is so far the best one, it is distinct enough both in art direction and story-line, and chemistry between the characters are well balanced. I didn't find Zhang Zi Yi's performance ground breaking though, simply because I've seen her face in too many period films already, Although she puts on an commendable effort in the film, I still find it quite bland.

A solid piece non-the-less, I'd recommend it.

Contrary to to the film, the movie's website is disproportionaly negalected.

Chinese surgeons who performed the world's first penis transplant had to remove the new organ after the recipient developed severe psychological problems.

uh... so let me get this straight, so some guy unfortunately lost his manhood, but... after a rare, infact first in the world transplant, he decides to go through the loss again. Bizzarre.

I will be in those two cities for work. Update when i come back.

At last, I watched this movie. I always adored Pixar movies, this one is no exception. As usual, the pre-opening short film was charming as well.

award ceremoney, this is the ogilvy part of the field. i'm very glad this guy is part of our crowd.

two minutes before Ogilvy scoring the only goal in the game.

Saturday was Ogilvy's Final soccor match in China 4A soccer competition, sorta like the world cup within all the major advertising agencies in China. The final match was between us and McCann-Erickson. I was pretty proud that Ogilvy lived up to the "best regional agency" name through this. Also worth mention, JWT's cheer leaders were hot as hell, with these cute New York pinstripe uniforms. (I wonder if they know its a baseball trim.... cute non the less though).
