How Time Flies

The above title simply means that time has gone by so quickly since our last update. Time did not literally fly like a bird or an aeroplane or anything (but it would be cool if we could see that). Nonetheless, it has been almost a month since we launched our new website. We’re still making improvements so thank you for putting up with us. Thank you for your feedbacks.

Now on to Ramadhan (Ramadhan is a month in the Islamic calendar). Have you checked out our latest comical short clip on Ramadhan on Morrielandtube ? Well, you should. Watch how Buyong and Yaya play practical jokes on each other. You know what? Let’s watch it right here, right now.

Hope you enjoyed that simple clip from us. Naturally after Ramadhan where Muslims all over the world observe fasting for an entire month, will come Syawal. Muslims refer to the first day of Syawal as Eidulfitri.  So right here, right now, we would like to present an exclusive new Eid Mubarak video clip.

We hope you enjoy that festive clip. In times where we are lucky enough to celebrate a joyous occasion, we shall not forget about the people in need. Sharing is caring. Giving is loving.

As we in Malaysia would say it in Bahasa Malaysia, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Keep enjoying MORRIELAND over the break!

Updates!

Our silence is golden. The team has been working really hard to please themselves mostly but the outcome will be for your viewing pleasure really soon. They've come up with some new stuff but that is not all. There’s plenty more in store for you guys until the end of the year. In fact, I just saw our first iPad app in test phase. It will be awesome when it’s ready in about two weeks.

For comic lovers, our in-house comic artist/self-taught animator, Apis, has come up with a true eco-friendly comic. Why? Because for one, it is only viewable on web and second, it is about being eco-friendly! Who knew being eco-friendly can be so lucrative. Actually I did but did you? You will find out soon enough. So keep your eyes out on this one.

From just across comic corner, I found our extremely talented animator/assistant director, Antong, working on some hilarious cartoon clips. They’re all about our reason to be jolly and celebrate a new beginning. There might be a few surprises creeping up to shock your sense of humour whether young or older. Again, you have to wait just a little bit more for this.

Have you guys been checking out Morrieland A Story A Day Project? If you haven’t then you should. Some cute and simple stories told in a simple way too.

Just think about it right? Why not use these stories to start a habit of bedtime reading? Read to your kids or read to your parents. Either way, keep on reading and we’ll keep on writing. In fact, we want to welcome stories or poems from the younger folks out there (or seniors if you’re up for it). Give it a try why don’t you! Have fun reading and writing.

There’s plenty of stuff going on as I speak and some things are not ready for updates while some must remain a secret until then. Please stay tuned to MORRIELAND. Keep refreshing to see the change. See you really soon in MORRIELAND!

Buyong Word Warrior with a Local Flavour

Have you checked out our YouTube channel yet? We’ve got free original cartoons there. Why would anyone miss out on such a thing right? It wouldn’t make any sense at all.

Here’s an episode I personally loved making especially during the voice recording session. A bunch of us were at Incognito Studio in Damansara Kim (a really cosy studio). Our talent John Oommen did a few voices that day and one of it was the Policeman. He made the character sounds so real that I felt like I got stopped by a policeman for not wearing a seatbelt or something (please wear your seatbelt!). We all laughed until our eyes got all teary. I just love making episodes where we can inject the good old local flavour in it. Ultimately, we all like to have a good laugh and maybe this episode can brighten up your day with a good laugh.

MORRIELAND? What on earth???

Yes, on earth because we are not aliens. However we can’t promise how earthly it will be come July 2012. We just love English. To us it’s fun. It could also be fun for you and your kids. It’s only reading. At least it starts with reading. Let’s face it, that’s where it all begins. You can’t read, you can’t answer those exam questions. If you can’t answer, then how do you expect to score an A (no pun intended)? 

We think it’s time you face English head first. Morrieland is where your child’s English language experience should start. It would be great if parents or an older sibling were to assist the little ones but if none is present, Morrieland can be quite independent. It’s online and it’s personal so time is not an issue. Let your kids take their time to learn English the fun way. Let them try at least. Don’t deny them of education please J

This way to MORRIELAND!
