I caught this article in the papers and I wanted to share it because for quite a long time I’ve had to share the sentiments of the writer. In fact, in some ways, I still do.
I remember when I was in secondary school and JC, I had to struggle with how the community forced me [...]



Musings

“Deep down, we all know that such things need us to make time for because time will not be given for it. It seems that for the past few years, people have always had an excuse to reject or bail. The difference is that now, people have real excuses – real jobs. Nowadays, every gathering [...]



I learnt something new about the Ps of Marketing…

Aug 8th, 2008 | By | Category: Featured

Ok. So I’m slow. But when I went to school, I was only taught the standard 4Ps of marketing( and the 3 extra ones for services)

Product

Honestly, I went there expecting the same old thing – jeans and T-Shirts, messy rooms, seemingly hordes of people walking around talking with [...]

M1 Going into Fixed Broadband Market…Hmmm…

Aug 5th, 2008 | By | Category: Featured

Ok, this is isn’t exactly big news but it’s newsworthy to me because it comes at a time when I’ve just ditched their mobile plan for Starhub. Their mobile plans were so terrible in terms of connectivity and bandwidth last I checked(which is about a month and a half ago), they were still limiting the [...]



When perfection breeds blunders
