A DIRECT MESSAGE

Admittingly, women often expect their men to read between the lines. I admit sometimes I try to pass on subtle messages when I want to get something across. With practice, it can become quite effective.

However, the woman who left this message is obviously not a fan of subtleness especially when she suspects her man of cheating behind her back. She does make Glenn Close's character in Fatal Attraction seem like Little Red Riding Hood, doesn't she.

Cook your pet rabbit or snip snip? You decided which is worse.

ONE BANANA AT A TIME

Here is a good one sent in by James. Hopefully, it will put a smile on your face; just in time to get your weekend spirits up. Enjoy it!

Jane was one of those UGLY women, so ugly it hurts. She never had a boyfriend so she went to a Psychic for help.

"Honey," said the Psychic. "You will not have luck in love in this life. But, at the reincarnation, you will be a very desired woman and all men will fall at your feet."

Jane left very happy and so excited, as she went over a bridge she thought, "The sooner I die, the sooner my next life begins."

She decided to jump off the bridge right away.

But, incredibly Jane didn't die!

She fell on the back of a truck full of bananas, she lost her senses and fainted. As soon as she recovered, still drowsy and not being able to see very well, and not knowing where she was, she started touching her surroundings, feeling all the bananas she mumbled with a huge smile on her face,

"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Please! One at a time!"

The ieat Pizza Making Class featuring the SMEG Pizza Oven!

Thanks to everyone who came for our Pizza making class! We sure had a lot of fun! This pizza class came about because of our (Damien and I) discovery of the SMEG Pizza oven.  We have been experimenting with making our own Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN) pizzas for the last 3 years and the limiting factor has always been the oven.  We don't have access to a wood fired oven which can heat up to 500

HEADLINE NEWS!

It was reported that last Sunday, about 24 topless women protested in a New York City park to draw attention to inequality in topless rights between men and women. This was part of the "National Go-Topless Day".

Amusingly, there were topless men in the park too but nobody paid them much attention. Clearly, this was proof that the event was justified. What is baffling to me was why more men did not attend the event. I'm sure they would want to support such a move.

Apparently, it is legal for women to go topless in public in New York City but this is not always the case across other U.S. cities. In comparison, it is not even legal of walk around naked in your own home if the curtains are not drawn!

But seriously, I don't care. If I want to walk around my own home naked, I will do so. Guys get to do it, why can't us women do it as well? If anything, the one looking into my home and making the report of indecent exposure, should be the one arrested for invading my privacy.

MAKING DISTINCTIONS

Many of you have written in suggesting ideas along the lines of some adult sex friend site. I know how that works - don't ask.It's just that these days, there are too many younger heads who think they know what they are doing but unfortunately, have destroyed the true concept of swinging. But that should not concern us.

What I do want to do is define this club and distinguish it from a swingers'-type club. I don't know if that is possible but let's see where we can go with this. I've already have offers from people willing to host it.

But seriously, to host a meeting to discuss the formation of the club is great. However, to host a party where fun gets done is no different from a swingers party. It can be fun but it is not exactly what I had in mind.

What I envisage is people meeting, preferably two or three, by themselves, and doing what it is they want to, whenever and wherever they want to. Should that not be the basis of such a club I am envisioning?

Lower price = more sales = more profit ?

Got further discount ? Free gifts ? Free installation ? Very popular questions faced by salesman whenever they try to close deals. And sadly the answers are always the same. I came across an article with an interesting but very true statement: "Every time you discount your product or service you discount yourself and eat away your profits." If customer is looking for a better deal, it is not really necessary to lower the price. So, the ultimate aim is to give as little as possible to close a sale. Sounds impossible ? It can be done. Negotiating is not always about price. Although price is virtually a factor in every sales, it is not usually the primary or motivating factor. Rather, what we say, or our approach towards the customer in the very beginning will affect the value of the product or service in their mind. I was going through a monthly duration report of the units that my department took in for service and repairs. For the last few years, it have been my routine to do a spot check for any mistakes or loopholes. This time, something caught my attention. It was not only the total number in figures and quantity. But it was also the duration itself. What amazes me is that 95% of the units taken it were completed and collected on the same day itself or the next day (still less than 24hrs). And a total 30 out of 76. 10 units were completed within 2 days, the rest took up 3-4 days. And what astonishes me was: these repairs were billed @ $50 each. And those that take 3-4 days were billed @ $64 which is the normal service rates given by the company. And the important factor that causes the $14 discount = membership. Without fail, the department hits the membership quota every month. The boss is satisfied, the management is satisfied. But my guys really need to ask themselves: is this what they really want ? Or they forgot their primary goal ? Yes, no doubt they act according to a motto that I have established: F.E.A.R = fast.efficient.and.reliable. It is time to look back at how far I have came through to build a reputation, to build a brand, as a one-stop IT services centre for consumers. However, the profits that I reeled in, were not as promising as I thought. Yes, business has ups and downs like stock market. But when it is down, I will need to come up with counter-measures to ensure there is always a gain, never a loss. Hey, it is business after all. Sudden promotions, free bundles even daring tactics have been tried and tested but none were as effective as they planned to be. Perhaps the thing to look at is still the manner in which the message is conversed to the end user. Every customer who walks in is like giving you the sales person an interview. And the underlying question is: Why should I get this from you when I can get is somewhere else and even cheaper ? An important answer that all my sales team should know: service. Not just normal service. Premium service and after-sales support. Yes. It is rare to encounter such now days. Sign an invoice and the sales man will thank you for that and never hope to see you again in the event of a problem - unless you are back to further fill his pockets. I am here to look into the various issues faced after the sales are closed. As a counsellor. As a mediator. But what the customer always have the impression : after sales service is good if it is free. After sales service is good if there is compensation for any inconvenience. My dear customers. Let me humbly remind you that that like you, anyone of you out there, we are also workers. And no one likes to work for free. Right ? I may charge a premium (seems alot from customer's point of view but still alot lesser than the amount stated by the company) but I guarantee that you get what you pay for. However, I need to cater to the needs of everyone, in particular the average joe who does not need all the bells and wishes but still need the job done. Don't fret, there will be a right pricing just for these group of people. I have asked my guys to come up with a pricing and other offers. I am currently going through it and plans to roll it out this coming October. It may not be the best deals in town but hey in this world, you can't please everyone. Give up something, or lose everything. Your choice.
