This is Sarah Soh.

Formerly Sarah Wong. (Salah So Wrong… hahah!)

And this is her audition for a new Australian Broadcasting Corporation kids’ channel.

Gooooo Sarah! Hope you get this. =)

Her boy, Aidan, is already the face of Heinz formula milk… so she has to keep up with him!

Say ‘No’ to illegal cigarettes.

As opposed to say ‘Yes’ to smoking?

Caution – Our coffee is fresh and hot.

If you’re going to caution me about your fresh coffee, I don’t think I want to know how putrid your stale coffee can get.

Real (Madrid) demolition shows we can beat United, says Babel.

Beat United, they might, come Saturday. But what does losing to Middlesbrough and drawing a whole host of games against mid-table Premier League teams show about Liverpool?

Extremely respectable doesn’t cut it. Serves me right for second guessing the questions in the Advanced section.

Back to school for me.

Your result for The Commonly Confused Words Test…

Advanced

You scored 93% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 67% Expert!

You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels’ questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don’t use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.

Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

Chevelle shared this video via e-mail. It’s a hoot! Some of these phrases are culturally specific but overall, a lot of these would have been uttered by mums worldwide at some point in time.

I think my mum has covered only a quarter of this list with me, at very most.

A funny short film starring local actress Qiaoyun. Hmmm… who’s this Craig Rosenthal fella who directed it?

Direct link to the video page at Portable Film Festival.

P.S. I realise this might take a long time to load, so press play to start the video. Once it starts playing, pause it and let it load the rest of the clip while you do something else. Alternatively, you can download the short film in various formats from the video page (.mov, .3gp etc. Registration required.). Hey’s its a portable film fest!

That means you’re as Malaysian as…

Michelle Yeoh!

How Un-Malaysian Are You?

Victor, I wonder why I did this. Actually, I also wonder why you did this…

I think I got marked down for giving the textbook answers. =P

UPDATE Removed Michelle Yeoh’s photo. Don’t really like her. Kenny Sia should thank me for saving his bandwidth. Heh.

Just got this off Mr Brown‘s site. It was originally posted on Adrants. The ad is for Imedeen’s skin care pills.

In case you can’t read the text:

“My secret to beautiful skin? I swallow.”
