MBA practice Consumer analysis

Since no one reads this blog I shall make use of this to practice my MBA skills...So first chapter is marketing...

So according to this book...there are 7 steps in creating a marketing strategy.

1) Consumer analysis
2) market analysis
3) Competition analysis
4) Distribution
5) marketing mix
6) Econs
7) and revision...

so I suppose we could start from consumer analysis then...

So what is the need or use of a perfect man product?
Companionship, reliable, efficient, long-lasting, durable, compatible.

Who will obtain the product and who will use the product?
well since its an end product, I suppose the obtainer and the user is the same.

Ok involvement and all i guess can skip for now..lets move on to
demographic segmentation

Age - Young hehe prolly users between 18-24
Sex - Female
Income - I guess not really relevant
Martial Status - Singles required lol
Family Life Cycle - empty nesters or mate hunters lol
Education/Occupation - more matured the better but naive is okay as well
Ethnicity,religion, race: Asian, anything, Chinese or mixed.

haha dem this looks more like a dating recruitment than an analysis lol

Next up Marketing Analysis!

August 08 monologues

WARNING May be offensively funny!
You know my brother used to use this abbreviation a lot. SAD. Stands for 'Single available and desperate. Goes with Bad, Bi-available and desperate but thats a different story altogether.

SO anyway he recites this mantra like, well quite frequently and so it hits my muscle memory. So now I'm 'sad' most of the time. Only variable is not the S and A part but the D part.

And so Ive lived my life as a 'sad' person. Cause now, I find that women don't find me attractive at all. Don't ask me why. They don't find me hot, except for one, but thats cause she was curious why i didn't need a jacket to stay in the cinema.

Girls don't find me handsome, except aunties who of course dig young men. (Pause) watch out uncles lol.

But what i find that I can attract apart from flies, kids, gays and grandmothers, are people who have depressions in life. Regardless of gender.

Not because that I'm in a much worst state then them....well thats not the case ....usually. But because I somehow or rather am able to cheer them up.

How? u might ask? Don't ask me Im a comedian not a therapist for god's sake.

Measure of my ability?? cause i know usually when we measure a comedian we go like...hahaha this is hilarious this guy is good...or wth u suck. So theres only two grades, Good and suck.

But But I have testis!! 'Testimonials' for you dirty minded b*stards. I can proudly claim....That I can make a young girl, laugh! in 'I am Legend'. At the part where the zombies are huddling together in the building. Don't ask me dumb questions on why i was with young girls in a cinema, they were old friends k? And we were suppose to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I can make tears of sadness turn into tears of joy within minutes! How? Again? haven't you learnt ur lesson? Im a dem comedian Dude!

But I do have my limits. Like every comedian, we only have a cup to drink from. Once we gypsies siphon off ur sad tears, we have to store it till we become full of depression ourselves. So thats why our jokes usually turn sour...at least for awhile.

But thats not the bad part. I find that usually, I have become a tears transfusion centre for most people. Its till the extent that they get on in their lives until something goes wrong, then they will find time to recharge and then head back in their life.

I mean...so where do I come in in their life apart from being a water treatment centre? Sometimes its so bad I feel like I must have lost my own life, cause in this one I feel like a spare.

Speaking about things that begin with the letter 'S'. I think my whole life's been surrounded by them. Im Single and straight, I dance Salsa, my favorite Superhero is Superman, Love sweet stuff, would enjoy sex if i weren't single i suppose, prefer skinny than chubby, almost everything to do with Ss. No 'ass' doesn't start with the letter S. But the act of does start with an...shoot! Mind U Im SAD not BAD.

Suffering and the Cause of suffering...

For years under the rule of "realistic" guardians who have both been scarred with the negative perception of making mistakes, one has been tainted with the fear of learning.

Years, of being brainwashed into thinking that mistakes are lethal and that one should follow the status quo of the ancient's wishes and not the wishes of oneself.

Years of being under vigilant watch on what is perceived to be the best path as if time and environment has not changed since 1969. Years of being chained under the rule of the grasping mind and the dead mind.

With so many chains and bolts that has wrapped over oneself who finds that he is alone in the middle of a snake pit. How will one survive when one day oneself finds that the chains are gone, and oneself is totally naked, unable to fend for oneself in the pit of limitless possibilities of death and suffering?

Not knowing that the 'best method' of protection is indeed signing the death warrant of oneself, when everyone else has been bitten by the snake and has started to receive immunity. Only terrible death will await oneself...or would it?

But with so much constriction and disability of being helpless in the pit. What of the benefits of being so fresh and delicious to the patient snake waiting to have it's meal?

Could the weigh of the chains actually allow oneself, to move faster and dodge the snake's advances? How does one reflect on the goodness of this protection? How ready would onself be to tackle the problems of the world when oneself has not had hands on experience of the deluded and polluted world? Let alone two guardians who unknowingly increasing the temptation of the snake to strike?

With a sigh, the snake is curling up for an attack, waiting for the fading chains to dematerialize....
How would oneself who has seen countless attacks but not experienced it oneself fend off such attacks when the moment of truth reveals itself into play?

Juzzy's Juz-Tech Christmas WIsh List! XD

CHristmas is just around the corner. Christmas trees are gearing up. Shops are bringing down their prices. PC fair is around the corner. Everyone is getting ready or will be jolly. So, I'll post my

10 JuzzyTech Budget Christmas WIsh-List!! In no Particular order! But for Countdown's sake...I'll start from 10

No.10 - IZZI(tm)

Now with this all new 4G capability. You can travel anywhere around the city..(KL for the moment) and still check you Email! Imagine, reaching the venue of your luxurious date without missing a dungeon quest your Guild leader ask you to attend!

Wireless connectivity is the order of the day using radio waves instead of copper phone lines. iBurst offers a new kind of portability and freedom that traditional wired networks cannot offer. Within the area of the base station network closest to you, you can maintain this connection in an always-on mode. You no longer need to wait until you get to a location which provides connectivity. - www.izzi.com.my

At the moment, iZZi has 4 main packages iZZione, iZZiyou, iZZipro, and iZZiteam. iZZione is for notebooks, while iZZiyou is a USB terminal where one can connect it to any PC. iZZipro is a desktop terminal that can be useful for a PC or a network of PCs. And the team package is basically you + pro. A pro package costs up to 1.5k a year. Pretty good for a unlimited 1MBps connection.

No. 9 Canon PIXMA i90v

Malaysia's most competent portable printer. My first experience with this kind of printer was with the i50. My Japanese colleague Mr. Wada-san always had it on his table connected to his laptop. I was immediately impressed when he took my picture, plugged it into his laptop, added some cool frames and dialogue bubbles and printed out a 4" by 6" borderless!

The i90v is similar, but with Vista capability among other things. It has 4800dpi and tiny 2pl ink droplet resolution, able to print a 4X6 in 81 seconds, 16ppm mono and 12ppm colour. Wireless printing using irDA and Bluetooth. PicBridge capabilities, 2 hour batteries as well as in-car support! This printer is truly amazing. But the price is currently RM888, of course a match with it's technology.

No 8 - Photo Safe From Digi Foci

A portable harddisk that you can safe your pictures in while on a photo shoot with memory sticks. It's like reloading gun Woohoo!! If only I had a DSLR. T.T

No 7 - 3rd Gen Laguna Renault

A Renault drove into the plant one day scratched and dented. It seemed to have suffered concussions and kisses with the guard rails. Inside was a whole new story. HUD with phone and GPS capabilities, a small knob for control, cruise control, keyless entry, sunroof. Almost everything a techie would want. I just didnt know the name of the car. But I have a big feeling its this car.

No 6 - Ipod 160GB

WHats there to say? Multifunctional mp4 player with a big capacity for love.

No 5 - Nikon D70

Another no brainer, cheaper than a D80, but what the heck, Im just a point and shoot son of a gun who is just starting out, a RM3k investment like this one is considered a high end. But do check yours out if you have the money to spend lol.

No 4 - High Definition Handycan Camcorder HDR-CX7

One of the smallest and lightest handycams that I have shown an interest to. 3.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor, High and standard definition modes, 10x optical zoom, built in intelligent flash, nightshot, even touch focus. Oh I just love it! Last time I checked, the hot promoter in Midvalley said it was RM4999. I want CAPEX! I want CAPEX!

No 3 - Mac Pro

Two things about Apple products, 1) they are user friendly 2) I don't have to explain why I want it. Its simply a no brainer.

No 2 - MacBook Pro

15" 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1440 x 900 resolution, 2GB memory, 120GB hard drive, 8x double-layer super drive, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M with 128RAM with the new Leopard OS. Keyboard Light sensors and many other cool and safety features. I'd KILL to HAVE THIS! MY PRECIOUSSSS!!!! Going for about Rm7.5K

With the above techs, I can gurantee you, you'd feel as tech as techie can be. IF you have like RM50,000 budget to spend lol. The lower the number the Higher my priority to get it....well sorta.

Oh if you're wondering what's number one?

Wish no. 1 for a low-budget techie like me...will have to be "Pronstar android Riko Tachibana" Seating on my lap serving drinks and feeding fruits while watching me do a Raid in the lands of Lodaeron on my new MacBook Pro thats connected to the internet via izzi's 4G plan in my Laguna thats set on cruise control.
(no decent photo of her with decent clothes on so this will have to do.)
Anyway, As a Nissan-Tan Chong employee I gotta have at least one Nissan reccommendation. Revealed in Frankfurt 2007 The Nissan Mixim is the next gen electric car concept that looks really interesting.
Won't be heading to anyone's driveway real soon, but the Nissan Mixim has enough style to be the next BatMobile and enough electrics to charge an EMP forcefield against Sentinels!! lol

REVIEW: balls OF FURY!

Spoilers Alert! like it matters lol..

Known to Malaysians as one of the lowest rated comedies ever...(apparently the pontianak movies where the flying ghosts can be seen hanging on strings got higher ratings). These tiny balls of steel was what I thought was one of the funniest of its comedy-genre up there with 'Kung-Pow'. Lucky like FHM (who gave 3 out of 5), I beg to differ!

I think the two factors of which it got the lowest ratings was that

1) Malaysians are starting to become Singaporeans, dwelling only on Smart London-like sophisticated humor ie. Little Britain.

2) Censorship may have taken away some scenes of which maimed the show to a logic-less sea.

3) Maggie-Q giving her lips and leg-locks to a fat man Dan Fogler.... that lucky bugger! That makes me wanna gain weight, perm my hair and grow furry sideburns.
...ok then 3 factors.

But come on, the first time I saw the trailer, I laughed my arse off like literally. I knew at once, I had to see it. It was humor matched in Heaven.

Christopher Walken had his good shots...

but How could you do this to SHANG TSUNG!!! I mean from YOUR SOUL IS MINE to 'How do I get to the Freeway' was simply hilarious!
James Hong was hilarious! I love his Wit and blind-humor! Oh the part where he..shagged the male sex slave and had that smile on his face! Only a Koan-riddle could express such humor!

And Maggie Q...OMG thanks to her Im still loving Asians....after 2 weeks of Latino Exposure.
This sort of humor is one of which lies deeply on the Murphy's Law that 'Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong!' And those moments that the soundtrack grips your heart and transits to the next scene like they know where to go... finally gives you the "Finally a show that doesnt automatically assumes that the character knows South Africa like the palm of his hand" And I dont really know the palm of my own hand. Do you?


So anyway all you humor enthusiasts please Give Balls of Fury a Shot! I can guarantee you, your balls won't shrink 2 sizes after the movie....but maybe just a lil. Oh And Special guest from Heroes is there! SO TAKE THAT ZETA LU!!

P.S If you got time check out my other blog...thx ^.^

Countdown to the land of Chimichangas and Salsa!

Only 8 more days before "the exciting adventures of Trius Travels: Goes to Mexico and Cuba!" Can't wait. OR can I. Haven't started packing yet. Heard from sources that Mexico is gonna be dangerous. So the most expensive thing I'll probably bring is my coat and camera.

Luckily, Shiva Lord of DanceKL and Bachata got some contacts in Chimichanga land and Havana. So Hopefully it will be much safer to travel around with a local. THanks SHiv!

Of course that means, I'll have to join the male belly dancing thingy. THats okay. I'll come back with a better groove lol.

THanks to Maheen of Fitness First for the physio session. Was quite afraid to go to the chiro with my condition. THanks, I'll try your workout. Yea guys I have a lowerback injury that I need to recover from though it didn't stop me from yogooding lol.

To those going to Singapore International Salsa Fest! Have fun! I'll come back even stronger! muahaha. With my lower-back healed.

What else this week? oh yea I finished my novel, into heavy editing. So stay tuned. hehe. Though I better backup.

Okay tats it..

Too much Salsa or Too much ghost stories??

After that night in Salsa Havana, a day of physical exercise is very exhausting. Saturday finished at 12 in the morning. Which includes An hour of Rueda, an hour of Salsa, an hour of Gym, and a 2 hour session with Gavin at the Billiards (2 lousy games on my side..lol)

After that, My sleep took flight from 12 something till 2 in the afternoon. One significant dream caught my mind after the sleep. Usually my I don't remember my dreams, even seconds after waking up. And when it does i have to quickly write it down ..or it will be lost until it reoccurs again.

I shall tell the story as I understand the dream and with some probable reasonings of why and how it happened. Im involved as an audience of the story.

"The dream as far back as I remembered is having lunch in the Royal Lake Club. I see myself talking to my cousin Haosern and Uncle Ron. I have a laptop of which seemed to be on a facebook profile page of some girl who seems to be seated in the next table wearing a pink poncho.

After she walks away with another lady in black probably to the loo...I find myself looking into a baby's prem. Usually stories are told with words, this one is told by vision and thought...

Theres a girl who has a dog. Probably best of friends. As time goes on, the dog disappears from the scene. A small kid takes it's place. But not for long. The girl is trapped in a stage room. Guarded by a Chinese Guard in Red. The kid runs to the wall but cannot reunite with it's mother.

She is not alone in the room. There are many more like her. Dressed in patient white drapes. They seem to be pregnant. A machine pulls each baby out from their womb. (probably too much matrix). She is unconscious when they pull hers out and let it feed at her breast.

Her cellmate wakes up from a dream as a baby cries. Her cellmate's baby is on the floor must have dropped from the top bunk. But its headless with gore and blood. The other cellmates awake to find their babies dead as well.


She is the last to wake up, finding herself covered in blood, her baby is also mutilated. (like the scene in Godfather 1). Only a spirit stands beside the corridor to the next room. Tears in her eyes, She looks at me begging to tell her story.

She seems to be close to the girl. Always watched over her. When her baby was born, she was excited and went to the next room to fix the baby some food. So many ingredients on the counter. Salt and then pepper. The moment she shook the pepper, she sneezed and she found herself in another place.

There were two guards in blue and a old maiden next to a strapping bed. Apparently for feeding babies. WIth chinese cushions but seemed really cruel to the spirit. THey tell the spirit, "the baby will struggle when u try to feed it..and so we must strap it down to feed it."

She never shows wat happens after that, but the dead babies suggest that she tries to stop the three persons. But infact she never left where she was ..and her actions killed the babies in the cell. And when she came to....she saw the reckus in the cell."

Thats when I woke up. weird story huh? Things mind makes u dream while ur dead right tired.

Anyway tot of sharing it to the blog.....
