I wish most of us adults are colour blind like these two kids.... we are always so ready to judge a person's choice partner by the colour of their skin.
Check out Yasmin Ahmad's latest commercial for Singapore, "The Funeral"
opps.. hong ming's secret is not 1 now.. haha.. cute kids.
I remember when i was young a boy just came giving me a big hug.. then says he likes me and brough me my fav chicken wings from school canteen. we're just 8years old. and now.. his still living just few floor below my floor. lol..
Yasmin recalled that the commercial was not at all difficult to shoot. A month before the shoot, we contacted the schools in the Klang Valley to set aside students aged between seven to nine whose best friends are from another ethnic group. Out of 46 students, eight stood out Hong Ming was one of them.
She had a 15-minute reel of Hong Ming telling her of his crush on his best friend, Umi. "...the two are so real."
And yes, Hong Ming and Umi are still best friends.
I am a Malaysian myself, and I have to say .... I am touched by this ad. (Though sometimes I grumble a lot of what happened in Malaysia--coz I want my motherland to improve as time goes by....)
i am a friend of Tag Hong Ming now.. XD he is a Pengawas now. and he wears glasses too now. my mom thinks its SO SWEET XD

OMG!!! Hong Ming is so precious! I love the emotion on his face as he was telling how much he liked Umi!!!!
And the way he walked away from the interview when he found out Umi's feelings for him? Cute! Very movie-like!
I'm actually a product of a multi-ethnic background. My grandmother's Filipina-Indian-French. My grandfather's American. And I think that's lovely!

What are we adults doing to our children? They start out so innocent and open ... and we turn them into suspicious, greedy, selfish adults.
