Of Basketballs and Turkey

I don't suppose anyone expected a blog so early after the lengthy description of a potentially haunted hotel last week. However, this also means our company is getting more active.

Today's entry will be short and sweet, as it should be for something as frivolous as a meeting with Lee Xin regarding advertising for Sautern.com.my in Chung Ling High School's canteen.

Before that meeting at 1030 hours, we - or rather I accompanied - Tommy to a scheduled informal basketball game with some ex-Chung Ling classmates (some of whom will become my classmates once more in Form 6).

The game was absolutely enjoyable. Granted, I didn't even make one shot but hey, we were just having fun. It's not as if a multibillion dollar industry will collapse if your shooting average per game is 0%.

Tommy though, had an absolute scorcher of a game. In one of the sets we played (each set being the first team to reach 20 points or above), he scored 18 points!

Kobe, eat your heart out.

After bidding farewell to our friends, we used five minutes to make our way to Chung Ling's canteen.

Catching Lee Xin while entering the remodeled building (thanks to benevolent donations from the ex-Chung Ling members), we set down and literally gorged ourselves on the unbelievably cheap food while holding our meeting.

If Chung Ling can still sell barley and kopi-O for 30 cents a glass and still make a profit, I fail to understand why the hawker stalls outside (let's not even mention Starbucks) have to raise their prices into eyebrow burning prices.

Anyway, the meeting went rather well with a cursory marketing plan being the agenda of the day.

Here's the advertisement plan with the first three only open to professionals involved with the property business:-

1. Login Page Banner - RM1500.00;
2. Site Banner - RM2500.00;
3. Sidebar Ads - RM20.00;
4. Free Ads for Donation.

Regarding the free ads, their are free in the sense we provide free space online for their ads, however, to place their ads on the site, they have to sponsor a specific amount to the donation page, 100% of, will be contributed to non-profit organizations we have chosen according to their availability of funds and diversity of help they contribute to the community.

For each viewer who visits this particular page, 1 cent will be deducted from the accounts of each sponsor - so, visit this page for free once a day every day to donate for free!

After our successful meeting with Lee Xin, I accompanied Tommy to Gurney where a property preview was being held.

Nothing impressive about it really except the fact that you can play garden games on the top floor of the building.

Well, nothing much happened really - except Tommy bought two turkey drumsticks, which were deliciously edible.

Till then,
Live Long & Prosper,
May The Force Be With You.
