Reunion Dinner and I Am Busy Ma...

Chinese New Year can be said is already ended after the Fifteenth Night which we call "Chap Goh Mei". However, I am touched by 2 advertisements that always played on television.


The first one: the Reunion Night.
Thiam Hock is asked by his art teacher to draw a picture of "Reunion Dinner". He has to draw a picture of reunion dinner of his and of what he understands of. But, sadly, Thiam Hock does not know what is reunion dinner and so, he did not draw one during the art lesson and being scolded by his art teacher. All his friends were drawing their own reunion dinner, for your first sight, you may think that Thiam Hock does not have color pencils, that is why he does not start to draw on his paper. However, this is not what we think ... just watch this advertisement and have it etched into your heart the spirit of Family to you! Do not abandon your child, as they are your gifts.


The second one: I am Busy, Ma...
What you can see now is a working man and he is so busy until he can not talk to his mother. What you will be hearing in this advertisement is a very easy-learned Hokkien phrase, which is "Bo Eng" meaning "not free". Visit your parents in their golden age, and be with them whenever you can... Do not be "Bo Eng" ...
