I've always enjoyed watching good TV commercials and marveled at the clever guerrilla marketing campaign those sports advertising came up with.

But these entertaining TVCs are somewhat hard to come by, what with all the "noise" and "clutters" being served to us viewers.

Prophetic Oracle

In the second semi-final of World Cup 2010, Spain has just defeated Germany 1-0 to advance to its first ever World Cup Final, where they will do battle with Holland.

I've been a football fan for over 20 years and has seen my fair share of football related TV commercials. But this clever guerrilla marketing campaign from Heineken brings sports advertising to a whole new level.

Preview of Universal Studios Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore in Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will be open (albeit a soft launch) to the public from March 18 at 8.28am.

During the Chinese New Year period in February, there was a sneak preview of this first Universal Studios theme park in Southeast Asia and I was there to soak in the new playground.

Here are a few snapshots I took during the sneak-peek:
