FUUUHHHH~!!!
We finally finished discussing our Business Strategy case study.
It was 14 loooooonnnnggg loooooonnnnnnnnnggg pages. Needed endurance, patience, strength, intelligence and a whole lot of concentration to do it. I'm not exaggerating.
After the whole "analysis" Yen suggested to go to the BBQ Plaza (she's addicted to it like I was last year) for a "celebration of analysis completion".
So, me, her, Dryck, Chan Heng, Chee Wee and Boon went. (see, we treat you so nicely..especially me! haha!)
Anyway, just wanna say that they're a fun group. It's nice hanging out with them. :)
Moving on!
I NEED to blog about this:

I'm sure many of you received an email / word of mouth from your friend regarding the Topshop's Student Lock In where everything's on 20% off.
And I took this picture as a proof of the many who got conned!!!
rofl. :p
The marketer of Topshop must be very good, 'cause they were able to make Topshop a "prestigious" brand in Malaysia although it's a freaking cheap brand overseas and is able to con student's money just by giving a 20% off..indirectly giving the customer a perception of "Best Value" for the item. It's like SUCKING the money out of your pockets without you even realising it. Bravo man. Just look at the line. I think I should join Topshop's marketing team in the future to learn a tip or two. Being a marketing student I realised that marketers are quite clever in making people buy things they don't need. Hence, the saying "to sell ice to the eskimo's".
Take for example one of the victim of con by Topshop, my classmate, YEN:

Look at how happy she is purchasing a pair of SHORTS for RM120 after discount. The true face of a shopaholic, please zoom and analyse. hahaha.
She was asking us "Should I buy or not?????"
Me, Dryck and Chan Heng were saying.. "no?"
IN ALL HONESTY right, I still stand firm to the fact that Topshop's clothes are pretty much similar to those in Sungei Wang
lah.
Quality my ass okay.
I touched the cloth of SOME of topshop's clothes and I can feel......................cheaappp.
Cheap material but marked up to a high price. What the hell.
I can't believe people would actually pay for that.
LIKE
YEN!!! ---->
real shopaholic (I must repeat to emphasize on it). X)

She's a super duper TOPSHOP fan.
All her shorts are from topshop.
I'm sure she must be feeling quite bad now if she reads this post. But that's the intention. muahahaha. :D
Remember...Taiwan money...............it's gone.... l-o-l.
Ok lah, shall not disturb you any longer. Don't be angry kay. *hug hugs* Enjoy your RM120 red shorts. :p
Next topic:
By the way, I've never bought a single item from Topshop and Forever 21 before.
I know that both of 'em are famous brands among Malaysians..but, no offence, I just think that they're charging way too much for some low grade stuff.
I believe that quality is not in the brand. Sure, probably there are a FEW clothes which are better in quality but certainly NOT everything in that particular brand is better. It's all in the perception. :)
Basically, if you already look good, you'll look good in anything you wear regardless of the brand. Eg: some
chapalang person could wear a shirt costing up to RM150 but it could look like RM15 when he/she wears it. On the other hand, another person who knows how to groom well could wear shirt costing only RM15 and it would look like a RM150 shirt. Get my point?
Plus, I like people who aren't brand conscious. 'Cause it shows that they're confident with themselves and they do not need material things to boost their image. :)
But then again, there are certain people who are just brand addicts because it makes them feel happy buying branded stuff. Diff ppl diff thinking yea?
Oh yeah!
A 'lil shout out to Dryck:
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY~!
