Busybody

It's a crazy week this week...

Everything suddenly comes in one go~ training, meetings, discussions, old-friend and relatives visiting from outstation, deadlines, assignments....  I thought I could have a peaceful sleep at night but no... i continued to be busy in my dreams~ gosh, i wish time could stop for a moment for me to take a break~~~

Thank goodness my colleague generously shared some cherries with us during our discussion this afternoon...  I really need some booster and the red beautiful cherries did manage to cheer up my day..... and my brain hehe....

Big red sweet Canadian cherries

Gotta go, i have to do research now so i could submit my assignments before end of this week...

When u know you are paying for imperfect goods~


Saw this in a famous franchised store. 
Wah, can't believe they are still trying to sell this! 

Imperfect item for sale

It's discounted at 30% because it was determined that it's still has 70% left? hmmm... 

Will you buy?

What I am willing to pay more for T____T


Why is it OK that some eateries charge higher price for the same drink/food we can get at kopitiam while not having to worry about being complained at or losing customers?

Wanna know the secret??

Actually, it's no secret la... haha... If you are as observant as me, you would figure it out too... *sharp eyes*

Wanna find out which group you are in? Here is a game i have created to determine that  hehe... a pretty boring game but hahaha... there is no harm trying it out :P

Just look at the photos and descriptions below for clues... 

Afternoon Tea at kopitiam 
Hot Milo @ $1.50 



Afternoon Tea at a fancy eatery
Hot Milo @ $ 3.50



Since a picture is worth a thousand words (in this case, there are two thousand words), the answer should be quite obvious :P

Do you know the 'secret' of why people are willing to pay more?

*drums playing*



When the waitress at the fancy eatery delivered my hot milo, i thought this will cost me a bomb because it was presented in a "more complicated" way. Don't be fooled by the pot, it's not full... The milo tastes just the same as the one i get at the kopitiam . And you know what?  I actually thought this is a reasonable price! haha... Looking at the number of  utensils they use, i think it's OK that they charge more since they need to pay the dish washer hahaha...

So, presentation does matter huh?

Did u get it right? It's OK if you don't. It doesn't mean you are no good. It just means you are not good at observing details :P
