Midway through a wonderful presentation to clients on the 23rd of July 2009, Yasmin said, “I don’t feel well”, then lay her head on the table, and lost consciousness until she passed away peacefully on the 25th.
At 8pm on the Tuesday night before she died, Yasmin called whoever was still working in the office to come to the Leo Burnett amphitheatre.
In the quiet of that night, she told us things beautifully prophetic. She asked those present what they want to learn from her. Naturally most people said they wanted to learn how to make good TV commercials and movies. Her answer to that? “I can’t show you how to do it. But I can point you in the right direction”.
Then she played us her Petronas Merdeka TV commercial ‘Tan Hong Ming’ (which won numerous awards including Cannes Gold) and said, “I didn’t do this commercial.”
“God did it.”
“Doesn’t matter whether you call it the Tao, Allah, or God, God is One. Be open to this Higher Power, and each one of us can be a channel.”
She explained how she had initially thought that she was done with shooting Tan Hong Ming who said his best friend is a boy who wears a songkok (a headgear often worn by Malaysian Muslims). But Tan Hong Ming kept pestering her, pulling at her baju kurung and saying strange things like “I’m a vegetarian”. So she kindly humoured the 7-year-old, putting the camera on him and asking, “Do you have a girlfriend?” And that’s when the magic just flowed.
Nothing was scripted. It was all real. It was just an innocent little child, speaking from the heart. And when Ummi Qasrina came by, her heart echoed these same pure thoughts. All the team had to do was keep the camera rolling. “Only God can do things like that” said Yasmin.
Then Yasmin took us through another Petronas TV commercial which was not written by her, but by Ng Choo Seong. She reminded us that Nisha Khiruddin wrote one of the most loved and most insightful Petronas Chinese New Year commercials. That one of our most junior staff, a visualiser, Ken Wong Woon Kian, affectionately known as “Ayam” to her, did three TV commercials in just three years of his career with Leo Burnett. That Christie Herman, a Christian, did what’s probably the most watched Petronas TV commercial for the Hindu festival of lights, “The Boys in the Hood”. That we can go through the entire list of Petronas TV commercials, and realize that many were not written by her, but by each of us in the office. And that we can continue doing so.
“To tap in to this kind of inspiration” said Yasmin that Tuesday night, “we just need to open our hearts and humble ourselves to the One”, she repeated “doesn’t matter whether you call it The Tao, Allah or God”.
Then, Yasmin literally demonstrated how she humbles herself five times a day - on the very floor of the Leo Burnett amphitheatre - standing, bowing, kneeling, prostrating. “At every point, I become smaller, smaller and smaller” she said, “reminding myself that I am nothing.”
“And God, everything.”
On that very night, she also reminded us that “Energy cannot be destroyed. It just takes on different forms.”
She said we “should not have a guru. Because, even if one is a very good imitator, at best one will be limited to being a poor imitation of the guru.” She directed us to God, “upon Whom there are no limits.”
She's 18, he's 109. And there are topless scenes galore. It sounds like the most politically incorrect movie of all time.
But this is New Moon - the second movie in the Twilight vampire saga - and all those bare chests belong to buff young men with waxed pecs and six-packs. "You get a lot of nipple shots in this movie," laughs Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays the 109-year-old vampire Edward Cullen. Since the first film came out a year ago, Pattinson has become a heart-throb to teenage girls across the world, and is also a favourite target of the paparazzi.
Wai Kit, a 23-year-old undergrad living with Justin, his 27-year-old boyfriend, are about to celebrate their first anniversary together. Justin makes a suggestion as to how to celebrate their first anniversary but was met with a luke warm response from Wai Kit. Following a call from Jimmy, Wai Kit wants to move out of Justin's house, leaving Justin wondering what has gone wrong between them. "Anniversary" is a story of love, of what trust mean and the need to find out the truth. "Anniversary" will touch your heart and remain in your mind long after viewing.

Pengunduran mereka daripada Les'Copaque Production bukannya ada persengketaan atau masalah dalaman, tetapi bagi Nizam ia adalah kerana minat mereka untuk berdiri di kaki sendiri dalam menghasilkan produk melalui syarikat animasi milik mereka, Animosta Studios. Tambahnya lagi, Les'Copaque kini mempunyai ramai tenaga kreatif dan mustahil mereka tidak boleh menghasilkan karya yang sehebat Upin & Ipin. Namun, kata Nizam biarlah tahun 2010 yang akan datang tidak lama lagi memberikan sinar baru buat Boboiboy, produk terbaru mereka dan harapannya adalah animasi ini mampu mencetuskan fenomena tersendiri sepertimana produk sulung mereka, Upin & Ipin. Oleh itu, kepada yang berminat untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut mengenai Boboiboy dan Animonsta Studios, sila layari laman sesawang, www.animonsta.com sekarang.
