her response was...

"That was a hell of a good 2 hours spent although I fear reptiles and lizards. It is so nice to have seen him kissing the King Cobra, I've never seen it so up close and personal! It's really really good lor, so adventurous... No one would bring me there except you, and I'm very happy lor!"

Venue: One Utama Rainforest Ground Floor
Time: As long as One Utama is open =P which means from 10am to prolly 11pm!


This is your chance to see the exotic animals come upclose and personal. There is no reason why you would want to miss out these animals when you're in One Utama! Get your bum off the chair and get going! It's worth your time with the Live Shows and be in touch with nature. My way of putting it?

"An exhibition of world's nature in One PLACE, One Utama."

Zoo Negara

Got Time?

The idea of a Malaysian, at the age of 24, visiting Zoo Negara...the responses are rather demotivating...

• Huh?
• What?
• Yerr...Why laaaarrr?
• Omg...you're damn bored right?
• Nothing else better to do is it?
• Crazy... -.-"

My only response is: "What is wrong with going to the Zoo??!!??!!?"


The Zoo Song

Let's go to the zoo, there's lots of things to do! ....(someone help me here)................................. There's Tigers! Lions! Elephants! Giraffes! KFC that's where I want to beee!


Smart Elephants

The Sumatran tiger came reaaally close :) Most of the animals were swimming like this tiger and came upclose to us :) goodie!

Right here is a baby Silverleaf monkey following with a special cute little friendly deer. There are so many animals in the zoo who needs a better environment.

C'mon people... These animals need your support!
Today was one of the best days of my life...

I am very very grateful to all the sponsors of the animals, mostly the animals which represents the company's mascot (i.e: Ambank for the Camels, Lion Group for Lions). I sincerely hope there would be more support in giving all these lovely creatures a bigger, better environment and nurture.

By the way, I am not paid to blog...

Malaysia K9 Day

Malaysia K9 Day


J-mie has always been the naughtiest puppy in the house.. that's also my bad, because I didn't spend enough time guiding her while she was going through her childhood times. Yet, she has grown up to be a beautiful lady with her very own elegant personality which amazes me.



20th January 2008, Sunday 11am

On this very day, she was at her best behaviour. Such a timid little baby, J-mie was almost bullied by every toy breed puppies :) It's not a character of a Husky, or is it something you'd expect from a fierce looking wolf-dog, but my J-mie is super loving with all animals. As you can see, she drinks from the same bowl of water with Duchess, my cat. [Link]

Back in Malaysia

I miss my computer. vickyvacko (my brother) is kind enough to be asleep right now so I could use his pc. It's so true that Malaysia never sleeps. Neither do I. Not proud on my side, though.

Keiro's Day Out. He went out like a sheep and came home like a lamb. I had his hair shaved bald, so now he looks like a chinese crested dog.

Reason: Knots.

Before.

After.

----------------------------------

I have never seen Ayers Rock, nor did I know anything about it. I know it's must be some special rock. Just after hearing "We Can Be Heroes", I came across one of Australia's 'must-see' places - Ayer's Rock. Some rock it was. I didn't exactly had my foot on the special rock...but this view ain't all that bad.

The captain informed us inside the aeroplane.

Note: Pictures were all taken by Nokia N73

----------------------------------

Both Shirley and Joey, my two little cousins, are currently being fostered by my kind mother. It's great to see my mom busy once again, since she's lonely at home with me and Victor all too old for her to torture. Haha :) It's wonderful because I was too young to remember how my mom tortured me. Now it seems these two girls are loving it :) My mom reads to them almost every night. I bring them out :)

This little boy is Wesley :)

----------------------------------

It's been a while since I saw J-mie. The last time I saw her, I could still carry her with one arm. Look at her now! Grown up to be such a beautiful lady. She's almost one year old now, but not fully grown. Amazing baby girl of mine. I sincerely hope to come home for good just to be with her. She is currently very well taken care of by my Kakak. Behind J-mie is my best buddy, Kit.

Crysis

Anonymous: "Crysis is a game that has the ridiculous computer requirements! I heard it's fantastic!"
Elaine: "Hah! The game play or the graphics?"
Anonymous: "Good question!"

Downloading the demo to make sure it works on my computer before buying the actual game is the right thing to do. To be honest, first person shooter is not exactly the kinda thing I fancy, but I had to do this for the sake of the famous game, Crysis-the-game-only-state-of-the-art-pc-can-play.

Not baaaaaad after all. I didn't quite like the part where Nomad's armor is ZERO under water and can't breathe. At first I had no idea what went wrong and his health was deteriorating.

Nomad: "mmmPh! mmhPH! mMMPH! MmmPmh!"

Heyy!!! I think he's having a fit underwater!! Shit! What should I do?

Anonymous: Errr... I think he needs to breathe.

-.-"

Australian White Tailed Spider in my house

Yesterday:

Just as I thought my "Widow" is looking hungry... She isn't as fat as she was before. I planned to catch another spider for her.

This morning:

At 6am in the morning while going for number 1, I saw a spider (size: approximately 18mm) in the cat litter box.
Didn't think it was great to leave it there where the cats will be scratching...so I sacrificed my "Widow" chopsticks... grabbed the spider... tossed it into my Widow's play pen.
I looked closer to identify what spider it is... Perhaps a House spider?


FFS... I just sent my Widow to hell. It's an Australian White Tailed Spider. To be honest, I do not know who will die of whose venomous bite. As for us humans, Australian Redback Spider's (also known as the Black Widow) bites are dangerous but there is antidote for those who are bitten.
White tailed spiders... unfortunate to us in Australia, are one of those which we DO NOT HAVE ANTIDOTE.

This is what I've researched so far:

Habitat and Biology [Link]

Webs consist of a tangled, funnel-like upper retreat area from which vertical, sticky catching threads run to ground attachments. The Redback Spider favours proximity to human habitation, with webs being built in dry, sheltered sites, such as among rocks, in logs, shrubs, junk-piles, sheds, or toilets. Redback Spiders are less common in winter months. Daddy-long-legs Spiders and White-tailed Spiders are known to catch and kill Redback Spiders.

She is dooooomed!
Who do you think will win? I would have just died if I weren't careful. Sheesh...

=/

What woke me up...

A spider crawling up my bare legs...

Merry Exams!

Relationship Marketing (Presentation)

My Presentation Script (Introduction)

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, my name is Elaine. Present here with me today are my colleagues Ludi, Matt, and Yee Pin.

Our focus for today is to discuss to what extent will Pfizer benefit from Relationship marketing. Towards the end we will also provide recommendations on marketing strategy which benefits both Pfizer and their customers.

Before I begin, may I ask what is relationship marketing? Anyone? Is it to build a relationship in order to sell more?

Relationship marketing is strategic orientation that focuses on KEEPING and IMPROVING relationships with CURRENT customers rather than acquiring new customers.

What are the INTENTIONS of Relationship Marketing?

First point here says Profitable. Profits in this context is skewed to qualitative than quantitative. Profit here means Value. Values where both supplier and customers appreciate.We build Long term relationship beyond the initial contact hoping to achieve to a level of commitment where both parties can rely, trust and are confident with each other.Building customer bonds are emphasised on PEOPLE. Products and services are expected to be of quality considering there is trust in the relationship. It is easier said than done. Now I shall pass the hand to Ludi to explain the process of Relationship marketing.

---------------------------

Briefly I shall explain Why do you do customisation.

After achieving a good relationship with a customer, you combine your knowledge and data acquired from survey or relationship with our own company’s database, and see what can be done to be of best service.

1. Retrieve – past purchases, survey, what is needed.
2. Analyse – compare with own database, check life span of products, usage (when to stock)
3. Propose – Inventory Planning. Stock and deliver in time for you to replace.

Benefits
Reduce cost - extra paperwork or personnel, you can focus on your work.
Reduce downtime - engineers analysed the usage and lifecycle of products on site, reminding you when to change to be of best performance. Avoiding fault that causes downtime.
Reduce Stock - there is no need to stock.
