Price differentiation in everyday life

Lets say that you are a company that sells products: You have all kinds of customer, some rich, some poor, some price oriented, others service oriented (yaya, from our marketing class). To maximize profit, should a company charge the same price for everyone or should they charge different price for different customer? The answer of course is that you charge higher price for people who are less price sensitive and lower price for people who are more price sensitive.

Amazon.com has experimented with this kind of multi level pricing a few years ago by charging different type of customer different price. This, however, has provoked a public outcry because it is illegal and they have since stopped doing that. But does it mean that discriminatory pricing is non existant in our society?

Take a look at the picture at our left. The upper one is a discount coupon you receive when you buy certain things while the one below is a fidelity card in which you accumulate points for future purchase voucher. As a customer, it usually means an extra hassle or even embarrassment (if you want your cool image to remain cool, you don't want people seeing you use all these things :) ) to use these promotional items. If the supermarket really want to reward their "loyal" customers, why not just reduce the price straightaway instead of creating a few more unwanted hurdles?

The answer lies above, discriminatory pricing raises profit: People who uses coupons and fidelity cards are usually mid to low income earners while those rich customers or rich-wannabes won't even bother using them. By making sure that different customers, according to their price sensitivities, pay different price indirectly, they maximize potential customer and profit.

Artist: Akon
Song: Lonely

Lonely
I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody,
For my owwnnn

I'm so lonely,
I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody,
For my owwnnn
I'm so lonely,

Yo, this one here, goes out to all my
Players out there man, you know
They got to have one good girl who's
Always been there like,
Took all the bullshit
Then one day she can't take it no more
And decides to leave

I woke up in the middle of the night
And I noticed my girl wasn't by my side,
Could sworn I was dreaming,
For her I was feening,
So I had take a little ride,
Back tracking over these few years,
Trying a figure out what I do to make it go bad,
Cause every since my girl left me,
My whole life came crashin' and I'm so...

So lonely (so lonely),
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)

I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)

Can't belive I had a girl like you
And I just let you walk right out my life,
After all I put you thru
You still stuck around and stayed by my side,
What really hurt me is I broke your heart,
Baby you were a good girl and I had no right,
I Really wanna make things right cause,
without you in my life girl i'm so...

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)

I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm mr. Lonely (mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own baby)

Been all about the world
Ain't never met a girl that can take the
Things that you been
Through
Never thought the day would come
Where you would get up and run
And I would be out chasing you
Cause aint nowhere in the globe I'd
Rather be,
Aint no one in the globe I'd rather see
Than the girl of my dreams that made me be
So happy but now so lonely...

So lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)

So lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girrlll)

Never thought that I'd be alone,
I didn't hope you'd be gone this long,
I just want you to call my phone,
So stop playing girl and come on home
(Come on home),
Baby girl I didn't mean to shout,
I want me and you to work it out,
I never wished I'd ever Hurt my baby,
And its driving me crazy cause I'm

please read this... got this as a forwarded mail... please read it... and say a lil prayer for the little one...

MAKES WHATEVER COMPLAINTS I HAVE NON-EXISTENT. Have a close look at both the photographs & read the messages below them. Its our moral duty to be concerned... towards humanity; to care...
The PHOTO shown is the "Pulitzer prize" winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.
> The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.
> Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.
This was found in his (Kevin Carter's) diary,

Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.

I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.

thank you for reading... pass this on to as many people as u possibly can... u may ask what for???

so that we can help and to do that, we first need to be aware of the suffering that is going on around the world today... when u feel down and sad, think about this picture, and then u'll see that whatever short-comings or bad luck or whatever u might call it that u might think u have is nothing in comparison with what tis little child went through... if he or she (for i do not noe the sex of the child) is still alive, i pray for him or her to be healthy and happy and if by any chance, he or she is not, i pray that his or her soul rests peaceful...

thank you...

Contact lenses and me

I hate contact lenses and I believe I will always do :)
In France, to get a new pair of contact lenses or specs, you can not get it straight away in an optician...you need to first see an eye doctor, called an ophthalmologists here. Needless bureaucracy? Of course! (You know, all those ophthalmologists lobby for this law so that they can be kept busy and keep their jobs) To make matters worse, we have to wait like 1 year to see one ophthalmologists because there is an acute shotage of them.

Anyway, to make matters short, I wanted to try contact lenses because I have been wearing a spec for like....6 years....I got my trial pair of contact lenses today and happily took them home after the optician demonstrated to me how to put it on and take it off: Its roughly like this:

How Do I Insert and Remove My Contact Lenses?

Checking if your lens is right side out


If the edges of your lens turn out, it is inside out. To correct this, apply a few drops of OPTI-FREE® Express® Multi-Action Solution on your lens and reverse it.

Inserting your lens


  • Close nearby drains.
  • Pour the right lens and storage solution from the case into your palm. (It is a good idea to get in the habit of always working with the right lens first to avoid mix-ups).
  • Make sure your fingers are clean and dry. (Dry fingers facilitate the handling since soft contact leneses tend to stick to wet fingers.)
  • Place the right lens on the tip of your index finger.
  • Using the middle finger of your other hand, pull and hold your upper lid so you cannot blink.
  • Pull down your lower eyelid, using the middle finger of your inserting hand.
  • Look up and place the lens gently on the lower white part of your eye.
  • Look down to position the lens correctly.
  • Slowly release your eyelid and close your eye for a moment.
  • Blink several times to centre the lens on your eye.
  • Sometimes, small dust particles trapped behind the lens during its placement can cause discomfort. To remove dust, slide the lens off and then back onto your cornea.
  • Insert left lens following the same procedure.

Removing your lens


  • Wash and dry your hands. Close drain.
  • Make sure your lens is centred.
  • Looking up, pull down your lower eyelid with the middle finger of your inserting hand.
  • Bring your index finger close to your eye until you touch the lower edge of the lens.
  • Slide the lens down to the lower white part of your eye.
  • Gently squeeze the lens between your thumb and index finger and remove it from your eye.
  • Follow the lens care procedures recommended by your eye-care professional.
  • Remove left lens following same procedure.
Dude...sounded so easy....
I tried 3 times...The first time, I blinked even before the lense is remotely in place; it dropped out. The second time, same thing happened...ditto for the third time.
Fine...I have patience and I'll keep on trying....so I tried to overturn the lense to see how it's shape like in the wrong side...turned back and....f*** it....it actually broke! Guess like I need to wait one more week before I can get another lense for my right eye.

Any contact lens users here with advices for me? My eyes blinks naturally when I try to insert the lens and I am afraid of not letting it blink. Either I am too nervous or that my grip of my upper lid lead isn't strong enought. And also,how to avoid breaking the damn thing...(I think it was because I just cutted my fingernails). I have tried a few more times for my left eye but to no avail....I guess I'll try again tonight. Wish me luck, please. :)

Song: In The Arms Of An Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an Angel fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of an Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

in the jiwang mood... hahaha... enjoy...

Mai 13 1969 Racial riots in Malaysia

Today marks the anniversary of the darkest day in my country's history. To know more about the incident, see Adrian's post below. What saddens me is that even today, from what I see in various blogs, people would think that the malays and the chineses are still waging war with each other. Don't believe me? Visit http://www.bakrimusa.com/ or http://blog.limkitsiang.com/ and take a look at the comments section by some (albeit a minority) readers of their blog.

Allow me to speak my mind: Racial segregation is very real in Malaysia. For example, I studied in a chinese school before coming here. My school is called an independent high school as it does not receive any financial aid from the government (because the government do not support chinese as a medium of education, we don't have the same syllabus and that does not promote unity among races etc etc). To make things short, 99% of the students in my school are chinese and I think 90% of us don't have any malay friends. (I was one of them) And I have to admit that quite a number of them are actually racists. Was it their fault? I don't really blame them....how can you appreciate and love someone without actually knowing them? I propose that our schools advertise in malay newspapers and increase the number of malay students studying there. With the advent of China as a world economic superpower, I think that there will be an increasing number of malay parents who will appreciate their children learning mandarin.

Back to the point, it is saddening that even today, our history textbook records little of the actual cause and effect of the May 13 racial riots. Excuse me for saying this, but the authors of our history book, all malays, are quite happy to devote half of the book to Islamic history and civilization. While it is true that Islamic history is very important and their civilization had given mankind some of our most important discoveries, half of book is too much and we lacked other aspects of world history. Our politicians likes to use May 13 as a tool to provoke fear among races (for example: Be careful of what you say, say the wrong things and may 13 will happen again, and I am sure you don't want it to happen), instead of respecting it and try not to repeat history. I want to request forgiveness for those who are offended reading this, I apologize if I have not been sensitive enough but I think racial relations should be something that is open and discussable. I blame the chineses as much as the malays for letting all this happened. Don't get me wrong though, we malaysians still live in harmony and peace and things are not as bad as I sounded :) PS: I personally likes malay cuisine more than chinese one, my family would attest to that.

Anyway, May 13 was bad. It brought out the uglier side of Malaysians. But May 13 also showed us that Malaysians can be compassionate, tolerant and understanding when the situation demands so. Below is a heart warming tale told by Raja Petra Kamarudin of an incident that happended during may 13:

My late father, Raja Kamarudin bin Raja Sir Tun Uda, was a director of Lever Brothers (now called Unilever) during the May 13 era. One of his Chinese managers lived in Jalan Raja Abdullah (yes, THE Raja Abdullah, partner of Yap Ah Loy) in Kampong Baru, the epicenter of May 13. And his family was at home that afternoon of 13 May 1969.

When the Malay residents of Jalan Raja Abdullah heard that trouble had erupted along Jalan Raja Muda, they quickly ‘smuggled’ their Chinese neighbours into their homes. When some Malays started going house-to-house searching for Chinese, the Malays dressed the Chinese in Baju Melayu (Malay costume) and brought them over to the Kampong Baru Mosque -- which by then had become a sort of refugee centre for all those stranded in Kampong Baru due to the curfew that had been imposed. No one could enter or leave Kampong Baru so the mosque was the safest place of refuge.

In the meantime, the Chinese manager was stranded in Lever Brothers’ office in Jalan Bangsar. He could not go home because of the curfew. Anyway, to go home would have been suicide because Kampong Baru and the areas surrounding it saw some of the worst racial skirmishes. The manager phoned the police who went over to his Jalan Raja Abdullah home and found the house burnt to the ground and the family missing. He assumed they had all been killed. The distraught manager did not know they were safe in the Kampong Baru Mosque dressed as Malays. Imagine his relief when many days later he found his family alive thanks to his Malay neighbours.

In Pasar Borong, an all-Chinese wholesale market (then along Jalan Ipoh behind the old Tabung Haji headquarters) it was the other way around. There was this lone Malay trader who was stranded there when trouble broke out. The Chinese traders at the market hid the Malay in some fish boxes, safe from the marauding Chinese who were looking for Malays to kill -- just like what the Malays in Kampong Baru were doing.

He had to suffer the stench for a couple of days but the Chinese kept him alive until it was safe for him to emerge from his hiding place and go home to his family who had given him up for dead.

These are but two though by no means the only ‘good’ stories of May 13. Taman Seputeh was then (and still is, I think) a mixed Malay-Chinese neighbourhood. The residents got together to form a guard unit (equivalent to the Rukun Tetangga before the word was even invented) to patrol the area. When any armed Malays came to the neighbourhood, the Malay residents would go face them to negotiate safe passage for the Chinese and if any armed Chinese came instead, then the Chinese residents would reciprocate. Taman Seputeh saw no bloodshed the entire period.

May 13th incident
Well i'm pretty sure that most of u would noe what today signifies; 14 May, Mother's Day of course!!! Well at least in Malaysia and a number of other countries...
Mother's Day, be it a day of joy and happiness and respect and reflection for mothers all around the world...
Mother's Day, be it a day for greeting card companies, and florists and giftshops to double their revenue...
Mother's Day, be it a day to hide the bleak events that happened just a day before, exactly 37 years ago... That's right, while most of u noe that 14 May represents Mother's Day, what most of u would not noe is that May 13th (yesterday) marks the anniversary of a bleak event that scars Malaysian history... a bleak event in 1969 that most of us have forgotten or worse still, most of us do not noe of...
What has come to be known as the May 13th incident was the worst racial riots to have been recorded in Malaysian history, a riot that would cost around 190 lives...
Some history lesson... on May 10th 1969, the Alliance Party lead by the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) suffered an upset in the elections to the DAP and GERAKAN (mostly chinese) and the former secured a permit for a procession... a procession that would be the spark of the racial riots... the DAP and GERAKAN drifted off course from the initial procession route and entered into a malay district where they shouted 'anti-malay' slogans and started jeering at the inhabitants.... though an apology was issued the day after, UMNO went on with a counter procession in which they received information that malays had been attacked by the chinese community and imediately retaliated by killing two passing chinese motorcyclists...
Now, who was to be blamed? was it the chinese community that shouted "Semua Melayu kasi habis"? or was it the malay community that did no better by reacting violently? the answer... it doesn't matter who is to be blamed... what matters now is that today, only a minor 37 years later, despite minor racial 'sentiments', we Malaysians have found a way to get along well with one another... We have found a way to work together, to thrive together... and that has made all the difference...
What is surprising is the fact that most of our youth of today noe not much about the May 13th incident... what is more surprising is that this particular event, with the magnitude it held and still holds occupies only a small mention in our history books... are we tryin to make them forget how vulnerable we once were and how much progress we've made in such little time? isn't it only thru history that we improve and learn from our mistakes?
i have used the limited information i could find in the process of writing this article and cannot be held responsible for any misleading facts...

estrogen supplements x 15 years = higer risk of breast cancer!!!
"Women who take estrogen-only pills for at least 15 years run a markedly higher risk of developing breast cancer, according to a study of nearly 29,000 nurses. But no increased danger was found among those who took the hormone for less than 10 years."
taken from

Hormone supplements like the estrogen pills mentioned above are mainly used to relieve postmenopausal sympstoms for example, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and urinary problems and to lower the risk of brittle bones (osteoporosis).
At one time, estrogen supplements were also believed to lower the risk of heart attacks and other heart related problems in women. That however has been proven to not be the case as the following states...
"Hormone supplements were once thought to help postmenopausal women postpone age-related ills. But the government's Women's Health Initiative study in 2002 contradicted those beliefs for estrogen-progestin supplements, finding an increased risk of breast cancer, strokes and heart attacks. That led millions of American women to stop taking supplements."

nuthin is impossible
XCUZEEEEEEEEE ME... in response to ur previous article... to be more precise, ur last line;

PS: Sorry la Adrian, since you're not born in the first 3 months, its abit hard for you to play alongside with Ronaldinho.

i happen to be born on the exact date as french football superstar Thierry Henry exactly a decade after he was born!!! and rumours are circulating (just rumours...) that maybe, just maybe this Arsenal's all-time leading scorer with over 200 goals, and "Golden Boot" (most goals scored) in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 receiver will be transferring to Barcelona (where Ronaldhinho playz, after the World Cup!!!)
so ahem... it's a bit hard, but nuthin is impossible... hehehe...
a couple of interesting quotes found about Henry...
"Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game." - Zinedine Zidane
"Henry is a beautiful player and has got complete technique,I adore watching him. I respect him very much as a man and as a footballer. He reminds me of myself. - Ronaldinho

Anomaly in soccer

In an article written by STEPHEN J. DUBNER and STEVEN D. LEVITT ( auther of a very refreshing and inspiring economics book called the Freakonomics ) in the New York Times, a question was asked: Why were a big majority of football stars borned in the first 3 months of the year?

Quote:

If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in next month's World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this quirk to be even more pronounced. On recent English teams, for instance, half of the elite teenage soccer players were born in January, February or March, with the other half spread out over the remaining 9 months. In Germany, 52 elite youth players were born in the first three months of the year, with just 4 players born in the last three.

What might account for this anomaly? Here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of soccer mania; d) none of the above.

Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University had made some studies and concluded that what we normaly glorify as talent are simply overrated.

When it comes to choosing a life path, you should do what you love — because if you don't love it, you are unlikely to work hard enough to get very good. Most people naturally don't like to do things they aren't "good" at. So they often give up, telling themselves they simply don't possess the talent for math or skiing or the violin. But what they really lack is the desire to be good and to undertake the deliberate practice that would make them better.

I would tend to agree with what he said from my personal experience: When I was in Malaysia studying my maths, I have to admit that I got horrible results. I often told myself that maths was not my forte and that I would probably be better off giving up on it. For 6 long years, I hardly did any homework and unsurprisingly, I sucked at maths ;). In the past few months in France, I got the opportunity to repeat the maths that I have done in Malaysia, determined not to suck again for a second time, I took the time to at least do the homework our professor gave to us. And at the end of the day, I think I got some good results. Was it due to my talent in maths? No way, hard work played a much more important role.

For the conclusion of the question above:

Since youth sports are organized by age bracket, teams inevitably have a cutoff birth date. In the European youth soccer leagues, the cutoff date is Dec. 31. So when a coach is assessing two players in the same age bracket, one who happened to have been born in January and the other in December, the player born in January is likely to be bigger, stronger, more mature. Guess which player the coach is more likely to pick? He may be mistaking maturity for ability, but he is making his selection nonetheless. And once chosen, those January-born players are the ones who, year after year, receive the training, the deliberate practice and the feedback — to say nothing of the accompanying self-esteem — that will turn them into elites.

This may be bad news if you are a rabid soccer mom or dad whose child was born in the wrong month. But keep practicing: a child conceived on this Sunday in early May would probably be born by next February, giving you a considerably better chance of watching the 2030 World Cup from the family section

PS: Sorry la Adrian, since you're not born in the first 3 months, its abit hard for you to play alongside with Ronaldinho.

Of Spanish and French Strawberries

The straberries on the upper part of the pictures are French Gariguette whereas the ones below are Spanish (I have no idea what variety of strawberry is it). It is still early season for strawberries because the french gariguettes are among the first to ripen in early Mai. Hmm....thats not the point anyway. The thing that alarms me the most is the price difference between the 2. The french gariguettes costs 7.80€ per kilo while the spanish one costs 2.5€ per kilo, about a third cheaper. More surprising is that in the 5 minutes that I loitered around the stall, most shoppers chose the one which is 3 times more expansive than the other without even considering the price.

From what we study in economics, prices can be however high they want if the consumers perceive that the utility, or satisfaction they gain from purchasing the item is worth it. Sceptical that the french gariguette is worth 3 times more than the spanish variety, I bought both to try them out:
The gariguettes: Are younger, more tender, a tad bit sweeter, has firm flesh and less acid then the spanish ones, brighter in colour
The unknown spanish variety: Older, less tender, abit less sweeter, flesh abit more firm and tasted more acidic, darker.

As a poor student, I feel that as long as I get those freaking vitamins, magnesium, zinc and iron, I don't give a damn if it's abit tastier but costs like 3 times more. However, for the average affluent french, taste and patriostism matters perhaps alot more. :) Yeap, I wrote all these because i have nothing better to do in a boring Sunday afternoon.

TSINGTAO beer

beware people!!!

Underage drinking and alcoholism are tightly linked. People who start drinking before age 21 are twice as likely to become addicted to alcohol, while the risk of becoming an alcoholic is four times greater among those who begin drinking before their 15th birthday.
also...
Underage drinking is worth nearly $23 billion a year to the alcohol industry researchers from New York's Columbia University report.
"What we see here is that there is a large conflict of interest for the alcohol industry between profitability and public health," Susan E. Foster of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia told Reuters Health.
lucky i started only around the end of last year... i should be safe... don tell my mum though!!! also, limited finances keeps me away from going overboard... (drinkin a bottle of TSINGTAO beer at the moment of posting this blog article... its cheap, its good!!!)

yeah for girl power!!!

those who missed this article from news.yahoo.com check it out... these are some excerpts from that article...

"A full-time stay-at-home mother would earn $134,121 a year if paid for all her work, an amount similar to a top U.S. ad executive, a marketing director or a judge, according to a study released Wednesday.
To reach the projected pay figures, the survey calculated the earning power of the 10 jobs respondents said most closely comprise a mother's role -- housekeeper, day-care teacher, cook, computer operator, laundry machine operator, janitor, facilities manager, van driver, chief executive and psychologist.
To compile its study, Salary.com surveyed about 400 mothers online over the last two months.

Salary.com offers a Web site (
http://www.mom.salary.com) where mothers can calculate what they could be paid, based on how many children they have, where they live and other factors. The site will produce a printable document that looks like a paycheck, Coleman said."
cool huh... so daddies around the world, its time to recognize the vital and whats more important, the expensive roles your femmes are playing today... yeah for girl power!!!

Michael Bublé - Sway

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

When marimba start to play
Hold me close, makes me sway

Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
