All girls have a market value. The older we get, the lower the market value right? So in a nutshell, girls are like products in the market which depreciate in value.....sort of la. But if a girl has been taken/ in a relationship, she does not has to worry about the value anymore because there is a "buyer" who appreciates that value already therefore putting her off the market (and having less competitors hee hee hee) So for the other girls out there in the market, fret not as there are ways to market yourself using the sales and marketing approach!

#1 Product differentiation
You must create something within yourself that only you have and no one else does! Something that distinguish you from the other "products" in the market. Something that when people think of it, they will say " Aha!! it is she!" Just like Mercedes, it's a car, but so is BMW, Proton and Honda, however people know Mercedes for its safety feature and luxury feel; and that's how we should market our self!

#2 Branding
You must have a brand for yourself, so that when people see that brand, they will know that it is of quality and trustworthy.

#3 Positioning
Positioning of specific product feature: To wear make-up or not to wear -.-
Positioning against other "product": Perhaps being different than the other girls?

And just like all product life cycle, "sales" will continue to grow until it reaches maturity stage and after the maturity stage, "sales" will start to decline, thus entering into decline stage. In order to extend your product life cycle, you should add value to yourself, joining clubs & societies/ taking up a course to increase your value. With added value at the "products" period of rising "sales" , you can continually revitalize interest in the "product" and sustain stable "sales".

* "sales" = people interested in you ;)

HAHAHAHA please ignore me, must be studying too much sales and marketing, But come to think of it, it does sort of apply to a certain extent lol just crapping away anyway, none of it is true ;) but i like the way how i relate it to "life" making me remember the facts easier lol

Lessons

Life has been teaching me a lot of stuff lately. Not that life hasn't been teaching me the past few years but it's just that I was  moving on so fast that I never really stop to analyze things and think being as childish as I was...There are many things I learnt just this year alone but i will only mention 2 here Don't blame others, blame yourself for having high expectations; different people have different perceptions therefore you can not force people to see the same things you do. It's hard being a leader, managing people isn't easy as well, it makes me have this great admiration for the leaders out there, especially managers. I'm so tired...I need stress management...
Another lesson learnt, don't blame others for not understanding, blame yourself for not being clear. In just a short period of time, I've offended so many people. Can't seem tame this tongue of mine, I wasn't like this last time. It's about time I shape up. I guess the saying is true, when you point a finger at someone, 4 fingers points back at you. It's never about them, it's always all about you.

Lameness

One day in class, my lecturer was telling us about this true life story. She was telling us about the days when she was a Housekeeping manager, there was this worker who worked in the laundry department. This worker was short of money, so he decided to do a back-to-back shift. While he was doing his shift, he got so sleepy he slept on the flat-work-ironer ( a big ass iron to iron bed sheets la) and his hand was caught in the iron, and his hand was flat, hot and ironed just like the bed sheets. The doctors couldn't save his arm therefore his hand had to be amputated. All my friends were listening in disgust and horror, and there I was speaking in a low whisper to the friend next to me and said:" omg!! He is now hands-free!!!!" Hahahahahahaa oh and now he can raise his children single-handedly Hahahahahaha


Omg... I'm so going to hell....

Shocking things I found out...I knew my friend's mother before I even met my friend HAHAHAHA omg woot?!

I think I gave myself too little credit. I do know a lot of people in church, just that people don't know me only lol I suppose I used to be that kid whose so quiet ppl don't take notice of me back in my younger days. I don't even remember me mixing with my friends in church. Come to think of it, what was I doing in church all those while? I know after I left CW I always sat with my mum in the century, but I don't even remember mingling with my friends when I was in CW my goodness...and somehow I know everybody's names, but they can't seem to remember mine. Maybe I was a self centered, snobbish kid that no one wants to mix with me Shocking that I even knew my friend's sister b4 I knew my friend and omg I knew them 9 years ago and only this year I met my friend *double gasp*

Random thoughts

Random thought #1

As I sat on the sofa waiting for my friends to finish a movie, I saw a little girl playing with an interactive game projected on the floor. She was playing with it so happily, she didn't realize her family has left her behind. She continued playing until she realizes she is alone, so she called out to the busy mall "dad? DAD?" and she look frantically around her, searching the busy mall for the familiar face of her father; and just as she was searching, for her father,the father silently step behind her and stood there looking down at her, the little girl finally realized the presence of her father and hugged him immediately.

Oh... How I love fathers like that :) somehow that scene brought a smile to my face and I was smiling like an idiot alone there. However I know I would have hated my father if he were to do it to me if i was young hahaha but it looks so loving when u watch it from a 3rd person's perspective. It's like a father's strong and protective presence surrounding the young daughter to make sure no harm comes in her way :') it's sort of like, though u may have forgotten ur dad while having fun, but he will always be there to protect u and to stand by you. Besides to see a father daughter bond like that really brings joy to me, coz usually men don't fancy children, they are usually the ones doing all the discipline. Ah~ fathers.... I remember i used to cry over the slightest thing and my dad remembers it most, coz he has to deal with most of my cryings ahahahaha and my poor mum too, omg I can remember all the episodes clearly in my head :') joyful memories...

Random thought #2
I somehow think that days have a particular feng shui. I mean seriously! On days when nobody ajak me, they don't want to ajak, then when somebody ajak me already, everybody would ajak me out on that day too -.-" so I came to a conclusion that some days are good days to go out since everybody is ajak-ing everybody to go out -.- its really fascinating and annoying...happens ALL the time >.<

Hunger Games

Just recently my friends invited me to watch Hunger Games with them but unfortunately I was working so i declined their invitation. But i got so curious on what this story was all about that i went and google it and found out it was initially a book and then made into a film, then i saw the very familiar front cover which i have seen in many bookstores while i was using up all my 1Malaysia voucher but just never paid much attention to it. So anyway, i thought since i'm so bored at work, might as well go search for the book online. After some searching, i found a website that provides a 3 chapter preview on this book. The minute i started on it, i didn't want to stop. I read until the last chapter of the preview and i got frustrated coz there is nothing more to read. I searched high and low on the internet but to no avail. I was so tempted to like drop by Popular to purchase the book , but thank heavens i found a torrent yesterday which allows me to download the trilogy *excited* 3 books in one man ^^

The book is very much interesting and captivating, a genre of books which i rarely touch. But this book was awesome, captivating since pg1. And i stared at my computer screen from day to night ( even in the office hahahaha) just to finish the book. Its as if i've already watched the movie in my head. However i read reviews online which states that the movie was some what disappointing and that people who did not read the book would still be able to enjoy the movie. Anyway, i just finished the book and went on Youtube to have a peek at the trailer, and straight away i saw the flaws... it didn't follow the book exactly which means it has lost part of the elements that made the story meaningful. I don't really know how the movie will turn out, but i hope i won't be too disappointed when i watch it since the book was full of details =/

Epic Month March

Just got back from a friend's wedding, the sweetest thing ever man... Anyway somehow when I say friend, ppl tend to assume my friend is 20 years old and getting married ( with a hint of "must have gotten herself knocked up" in their eyes) I suppose I don't blame them, coz I think I would assume the age too if my friends told me about their friends. But yea, due to me joining societies and jobs and church event, I have friends whose ages ranges from 15-50 something aunties -.- so yea... Anyway my this friend is 25, and she just got married in Taylor's Lakeside Campus , OMG it was one of the most sweetest and memorable wedding that I have ever attended in my life. Not only was it unique since it was a garden wedding, but because it was very touching. Even a cold hearted person like me almost cried.

I mean I have been to church weddings ,2 in fact ( not counting the ones I went to when I was little coz I don't remember anything) and it was just ok, but this one was really touching, I suppose it was because they went through a lot when they were dating. And the vows that they exchanged was from the bottom of their hearts, not the normal til death do us part bla bla bla, but it was the grooms own words, frm the bottom of his heart. And the bride vow started with a song named "最重要的决定" she sang it to her husband and she was swallowing back tears and then after that she said her vow too. I suppose when u r saying something frm ur heart, u tend to cry.

Omg and then there was the tea ceremony which made me watery too was when the bride was pouring tea for her parents, and then she said to her daddy " dad, since young u have given me everything but when it comes to my husband u denied him once. I know we do not talk often but deep down i know u love me and want the best for me just like I love you too" omg shit man...and then she thanked her mom too which was quite touching too, but she made it humorous.
Since I was part of the flash mob, I was able to witness all this, I could see the unity in the people of the church, all her performances were free, all by the college societies and most of them by the church members. U could feel the family in them just by witnessing. It was a true blessing ^^ I wish I could post up the video of us flash mobbing but I think it's gonna be on our group page so don't think it will see the light of day. It sucks I couldn't take much photos, but hopefully I can steal from my friends and post up here :) but just to dangle some meat I have 2 photos here :)

This month is gonna be a super busy month for me, next week got another wedding to attend :/ but this time as a guest hahaha then Easter production rehearsals have started, then lots of dinner outings coming up. Basically I don't stay at home for more than 4 hours excluding sleeping time of course coz it's not counted when u dun see ur family. Today itself I've only been home for 1 hour. Back to back activities man, so pooped out right now. Anyways ciaoz
