Saturday, April 22, 2006
this is an extract of Ms A.L.'s reply to my boss. i wish to comment on certain "biz issues".
We are both good examples of an obsolete good. For the benefit of all, obsolete means outdated, out of fashion, out of trend etc...
[under Google search. Obsolete means No longer in use / useful + Outmoded in design, style, or construction. maybe my appearance is a big problem.
guess is a matter of time i'll be placed in the museum.]
I have zero net book value and still depreciating in value day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second. Not that i am unable to keep up with the times but the technology advances way too fast for me to even catch up with (pple getting attached at a supersonic rocket speed). In such circumstances, i am being left behind cos nobody wants me, perhaps high chance of being left on the "shelf" one day, rot and rust there...
[I am worse lor. i am alrdy -ve NRV. the seller whom is me have to compensate the buyer if he is interested to "buy" me. still depreciating daily. so must earn more to be financially independent. dun wan to be a society burden.]
I do not mean to offend you, Your Highness cos you are seen as an antique increasing in value day by day, equipped with rich knowledge and skills and not ancient....
[boss, ur value is appreciating like the Sing dollar recently. many rich men collects antique so who noe wat may happen.
do continue to strength ur value to keep the agency going. the co cannot make it w/o you. you are a VIP - Very Impt Person.]
So Your Highness, are you sure you can find one for me cos im such an obsolete good? Tough case here.. Hard nut to crack.. and furthermore i got super complex buying behaviour (high differences between brands & high involvement). Don't try to overcharge your fees leh.
[same here. i am known to be "picky" and till today i dun understd why they think so. maybe i am picky but was not aware of it bah. if so i guess it will be easier to find me gal frends to keep me co and stuff.
"i choose guys and guys choose gals. not much choices left actually. who can "tahan" a person / gal like me??
very thxfully tt i have some very gd gf. i am lucky and fortunate in a way.
but i am not as bad as Ms A.L. lah.. wat complex buying behaviour...?? i am not so complex lah. but definitely low involvement and high differentiation due to my image when stressed]
im just a beggar on the streets, waiting for my pathetic Progress Package payout on 1 May . how about buy one session get two sessions free? if im successful, then i shall be your free marketing cum public relations officer to help you out in all the publicity campaigns, event managements, source for sponsorships and execute marketing plans, who knows you can get some exclusive deals at your favourite Expressions Salon or even go for treatments FOC. Then you shall shake leg at office and be your towkay neo, go for afternoon high teas, shopping at Paragon, followed by facial, spas, massage, body wrap, manicure and pedicure, then do your hair at David Gan's and you are ready to go for your candlelight dinner in a yacht with your lover! muahahaha!!!
[i need more discount lah boss. ur 1% discount can only cover the CESS lor. i will help to think of more promotion strategies and come up wif a biz proposal when i am free and if this story continues.
sound like the "tai tai" lifestyle. can i take off at times to join you for high tea?? i need breaks too if nt i will break down wan lor.]
Silent shall take care of the accounts and PA cum domestic (maid) duties.
[i am part-qualified "accountant" only lor. there will be high inherent risk leh. the audit cost will increade due to me. tt is not very economical. maybe get a qualified accountant in lah.
