Marketing Explained !!!
A Professor at the SMU was explaining marketing concepts to the Students
1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. "Marry me!" - That's Direct Marketing"
2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: "He's very rich. "Marry him." - "That's Advertising"
3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich. "Marry me - That's Telemarketing"
4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say:"By the way, I'm rich. Will you "Marry Me?" - That's Public Relations"
5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says:"You are very rich! "Can you marry ! me?" - That's Brand Recognition"
6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - "That's Customer Feedback"
7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband. - " That's demand and supply gap, do your market survey first"
8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him - "That's competition eating into your market share"
9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" your wife arrives. - "That's restriction for entering new markets"
Received this from my colleague!
super hilarous!
and i bet all those dumb guys will never fail to understand..

ALL FEMALES MUST READ- too much Tofu and soya? dun over consumption.
My sis forwarded this to me! so DAMN scary! wau kao!
To think ive been worshipping soya bean milk, hoping that it enhances *ahem* u noe la, women's assets..
oh whatever, READ ON, impt!!
To Soya/Tofu lovers FYI ONE WOMAN'S STORY ON SOYA...
All Males-PLEASE pass this info to ALL your female friends...
It may save their lives!
Something to take note of.
This is my true story, nothing altered.
These are facts, as they relate to my experience, my opinions based on what I have read and felt. I am relating them to warn other young health-conscious women who are unwittingly harming themselves.
In 1989, I graduated from high school in Texas and couldn't wait to hit the big college city. One of the changes I wanted to make was to eat healthier. Once I moved to health-conscious Austin, Texas, I began to fortify my body with the best and healthiest foods I could find.
Tofu was the main ingredient in every healthy dish and I bought soya milk almost every day used it for everything from cereal to smoothies or just to drink for a quick snack. I bought soya muffins, miso soup with tofu,soybeans, soybean, sprouts, etc. All the literature in all the h ealth and fitness magazines said that soya protected you against everything from heart disease to breast cancer.
It was the magical isoflavones, the estrogen-like hormones that all worked to help you stay young and healthy. I looked great - I was working out all the time, but my menstrual cycle was off.
At 20, I started taking birth control pills to regulate my menstrual cycle. In addition to this I began to suffer from painful periods. I began to get puffy, it was as though I was losing my muscle tone. I began to suffer from depression and getting hot flashes. I mistook all this for PMS since my periods were irregular. B
y the time I was 25, my periods were so bad,I couldn't walk. The birth control pills never made them regular or less painful so I decided to stop taking them. I went on like this for another two years until I realized my pain wasn't normal. At 27, my gynecologist found two cysts in my uterus. Both were the size of tennis balls.
I went through surgery to have them removed and thank God they were benign. The gynecologist told me to go back on birth control pills. I didn't. In 1998, he discovered a lump in my breast.
Again, I went through surgery and again it was benign. In November 2000 my glands swelled up and my gums became inflamed. Thinking I had a tooth infection I went to the dentist who told me that teeth were not the problem. A fter a dose of antibiotics the swelling still did not go down.
At this point I could feel a tiny nodule on the right side of my neck. I told my mother I had thyroid trouble. She thought I was being silly. No one in the family suffered from thyroid trouble.
Going on a hunch I saw a specialist who diagnosed me with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. After a series of tests he told me it was cancer. My fiance and I sat stunned. We were not prepared and I was so scared. We scheduled surgery right away.
The specialist told us that it would only be after the operation that a pathologist would be able to tell us for sure if it was cancer. They found a tumor at my right lobe composed of irregular cells and another smaller tumor growing on the left, so the entire thyroid was removed.
They told me that after undergoing radioactive iodine I would be safe and assured me that I could live a long life.
After treatment I began to search for the cause of all these problems. I never once thought it could be all the soya I had consumed for nearly ten years.
After all, soya is healthy. I came upon a web page that linked thyroid problems to soya intake and the conspiracy of soya marketed as a by-product of the vegetable oil industry.
This was insane, after all, the health and fitness magazines had said nothing about soya being harmful.
I visited a herbalist who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 1985. She informed me that soya was the culprit. She had a hysterectomy due to cysts and other uterine problems.
A few months later another acquaintance who had consumed soya came down with thyroid cancer.
A girl in England I met through the Internet in a thyroid cancer forum had just undergone surgery and she was only 19.
What was going on?
Breast cancer is linked to estrogen.
What mimics estrogen in the female body, SOYA! But I never suspected soya because until now I never once found a single article that stated soya could be dangerous.
Women who took soya prior to thyroid problems will continue to take it after if they are not aware of what soya actually does, what it contains and how it reacts in the female body.
I think this is the reason that women with thyroid cancer often develop breast cancer later. My co-worker is big into soya and I see her losing hair and gaining weight despite a walking workout during her break and after work, and apples and oranges for lunch. She just had cysts removed from >her uterus too.
I warned her to stay off soya.
I referred her to websites but until it is on the evening news on all four networks, women will suffer.
Since the thyroidectomy, I do not touch soya, haven't for two years.
Dear readers, Please use my story in any way you can.
There are so many young girls who are consuming soya because they think they are taking care of themselves and women taking soya because they want to be healthy.
It is so unfair that the information about the dangers of soya isn't more widely circulated.
It is sad.

I caught 1408 this afternoon with bf (who now looks like my DI DI, as quoted by my sis's bf)
It was a total mistake!
It was written clearly as a HORROR movie..
WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I AGREED TO WATCH IT?!!!
I have no idea
how many times i screamed;
how my times i teared (yes, there's no romance, i was soooo scared tt i tear - LAUGH ALL U WANT);
how many times i shut my eyes and buried my face in didi's armpit;
how LONG i chewed on didi's sleeves..
I WAS SO FREAKING SCARED and di di still can watch until so calmly!!
I just wanna run out and CRY!!!!!
but well, the movie is good, i think
cos at some parts, its funny (-____-")
this is the 2nd time i watched horror with di di in our ONE year & EIGHT months r/s
and definitely, the last time!
I CANT TAKE IT, old liao..
when i got out of the cinema, i was practically panting..
Sighs..
cannot cannot..like that will accelerate aging one..

I had a fun - filled sat !
Had the famous beef balls noodles at Geylang,
crash SengShiong @ Bedok cos hk wanna buy biscuits
biscuits - so plain he made it sounds, i thought
I would call my biscuits as TIBITS! (AH!!!)
But anyway, yes he did ended up buying BISCUITS, those plain kind, no cute shapes/pictures.
Bleahz
and finally, sent home at 3.06 NOON (i know its early but he claims tt he need to prepare for book in at 8pm)
BUT no, he did not go home straight to "PREPARE"
guess what, then?
He went to meet his OTHER HALF (reads: cousin)
please roll your eyes with me.
okie, Im such a bore, no good company cos iknow where to go sometimes but u dun wanna godunoo where to eat/go ALL THE TIME
He dun wan HIS GF's company, he rather has a GUY for company
One who doesnt nag at him for smoking (i nag only once in a BLUE MOON)
One who doesnt complain abt mosquitos (i bet he doesnt, the mosquitos would have been trapped in his massive bush of LEG HAIRS)
Bottom line is WHY!
Thousands, Hundreds, Many, Few ppl would die like to meet me!
They LOVE my company!
*HUMPTttttttt*
Actually, im not angry or whatsoever.
Im just reflecting on this.
ALL THE NSmen would die to spent their weekends with gf, isnt it?
