hello all!

something to share with you guys again.

two things

hahahs

this was taken from my class blog.

A Good Way to study Economics

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, say:"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 a 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 say:"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

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.You go up to her and before you say anything, another person comes and tell her:"I'm rich. Will you marry me?"and she goes off 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 say:"I am very rich. Marry me!".Another guy with flowers said:"I am richer. Marry me!"That's absolute advantage

10. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.You go up to her and say,"I'm very rich. Marry me!"Her equally gorgeous friend tags along for the rest of the night.That's economies of scale

hahahs. and last saturday was A REAL EMBARRASSING DAY. and i mean REAL EMBARRASSING. we had core modules. so that module happened to be public speaking. we were taught about body language, clear diction, eye contact and blah blah. there came the last part, everyone had to take turns to speak about a random topic for two and a half mins. I SWEAR THAT WAS THE WORST THING EVER MAN. more addition to the torture. the topic you had to talk about would be drawn from a box, everyone writes a topic on a slip of paper and puts it in the box. so you go up and pick a piece of paper, and talk about the topic on it. for some unlucky reason, my topic was G STRINGS. WHAT ON EARTH AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY?!

me: "erm erm. my topic is on g strings"

-not a sound-

-i hear someone scoff-

-the class stares on-

me: to me ah, g strings are a... a....a ...... DEVICE. errr.errrr that every girl knows about. its a .....a....a.. FASHION DEVICE.... (thinking to myself: someone please shooot me! what the hell am i talking about?! g strings are pieces of cloth that only ppl who wanna show off their legs wear. i think so la. not too sure myself)

me: g strings are something all girls like. (WHAT ON EARTH DID I JUST SAY?!)

-the class feminist glares at me. i feel a hole being burnt through me from her laser vision.-

so i shuffled around a little.

then an idea struck me.

me: "er, you guys know cello right?"

and i try pathetically to use hand gestures to show them what a cello is. waving my hands about like a lunatic.

me: " cellos have g strings . so when the string ensemble conductor says 'pluck your g strings' yeah thats what we do. pluck our g strings"

then two seconds of silence. i look towards the speaker for help. he shrugs at me. then i just mumbled something that i was done and that's about all for my topic. rushing back to my seat. my face was tomato red, according to my classmate.

today.

thinking that my classmates had long forgotten about my speaking mishap, I WAS WRONG. we were discussing the arts in gp. and we were supposed to cite examples about arts being close to us.

' DOUGLAS IS IN AEP! WRITE THAT DOWN!'

' MS NG [gp tutor] IS IN CHARGE OF CHOIR TOO! LITIAN LITIAN WRITE THAT DOWN TOO!'

'EH! AUDREY KNOWS CELLO! SHE KNOWS ABOUT MUSIC TOO!'

'EH WAIT. CHANGE MUSIC TO STRINGS. G STRINGS.'

and this was what was on the white board for gp.
