LOL.
we're making losses on the Global Marketing Game -
that despite our careful calculations on the excel spreadsheet - and thinking that we've owned our competitor because we "monopolised" segments with the highest demands.
yet it turned out that they were making a 5 trillion profit and we were in 2 trillion debt. LIKE HMMMM.
haha. there are 2 possible reasons:
we either calculated our costs wrongly or
we priced them too high
or it could be both.
oh wells i think we're in a funny position lol.

anyway, upon hearing that the g2000 and club marc outlet at anchorpoint are warehouse outlets - aka cheaper than usual prices, bro and i headed down there this evening. i needed to get a blazer suit and bro needed another pair of work pants.
well warehouse prices there were, but warehouse sizes too! bro jus couldn't get the right fit - pants was just right below the waist but beyond the knee it became too flare. shirt was just right at the shoulders but the sleeves were half an inch short and failed the 90degree rule test. his blazer was just nice at the shoulders but too flare beyond the torso...
and for me, the smallest blazer size is well, too big for me. tt was kinda expected right. lol. the shoulders were the main culprit. UGH! damn those narrow shoulders of mine.
both of us believe that anything that compromises a good fit is a no go. for lanky people in the mok family, a good fit is extremely important.
we also checked out the billabong outlet. warehouse prices indeed!! jeans were going for $50! bikinis were going at 70% off - $18 for a billabong! like omg! our eyes almost popped out. lol. sadly i didn't see fancy any design. kor tried on a pair of jeans but had the same problem of being too baggy. SIGH. woe is being too thin. lol.
anyway, i felt really good shopping with my bro man. he's a good companion. and i am absolutely impressed by the way he handles the service staff in the shops - calm, cool and confident. i duno how to describe how i felt - imagine urself holding out your trophy to show someone else - kinda jus felt damn proud to be standing beside him haha. in addition i felt that i was "well taken care of" lor. lol. like when i ordered milo dinosaur he immediately said, "i thought u have sore throat?"
me: "oh yah hor!"
kor: (to waiter) "i'm sorry, could you cancel that out please? let her choose another one."
me: "hk milk tea then, iced."
ahhhhhh tt was quite gentlemanly, especially in front of the waiter :) had this warm fuzzy feeling! nice!
over dinner we talked about school and some business stuff...the momentum of USD, an upcoming recession... investments, the finance market on the whole... it was pretty interesting to hear his insights about the markets. i did learn a bit today. warm fuzzy feeling continued throughout dinner :D
impressive gentlemanliness + well taken care of = happy happy clar tonight. i even offered to iron a shirt that he needs tml for a meeting with a client because i know he's v v tired. but well he declined and said he'll iron it himself...
anyway, i'm feeling fat right now. lack of exercise + increased food intake + snacking in the late night = little tummy bulge. *CRIES* why don't they go to other parts like my arms or shoulders or sth. they always go to wrong places damn it. :(:(:(:(:(
dear clar, please go and run.dance.sit ups.swim!
