Me! Me! Me!

Have you ever been in a situation, whether its at work or at home, when you're facing a computer and there's nothing much to do? And you're kinda sick and tired of the games over at Popcap.com? Sure you have. For some people(like me), its really a daily occurrence. At times like these, www.youtube.com is your best friend.~snigger~ One very good way to waste time is to just get there, and search for "Banned TV Commercials". What comes up is basically enough to keep you entertained for quite a while. You get funny commercials, sexist commercials, racist commercials, and commercials that doesnt seem like commercials. While some of them(especially the racist and sexist ones) are understandably banned, some are so interesting and funny that i don't get how they can be offensive. I guess ad agencies and tv stations don't exactly get along huh?

Anyway, its really interesting how efficient and connected our country is. My vehicle insurance is due this month, and for the past 2 months, I've received no less than 3 different calls for insurance renewal. And I have no idea how these people got my contacts. My internet subscription contract is expiring soon and now i've got a call from some lady offering to renew my subscription with Starhub with some free gift. And even offered to change my plan to my new address, since i'm moving soon.

Are we having too much competition in Singapore? Its amazing the lengths sales people go to to secure that extra sale.  I had some acrylic done for some car stuff and when i wanted to make some amendments to the size, the guy just came down to where i am, took the piece back, and delivered it back to me the next day with my changes. With no extra charge. Apparently, I can make changes as many times as i like. The guy will just do it all with no extra charge. And to top it off, I'm not exactly your big-ticket customer.

I guess this is all very good if you're the customer. With everyone jumping around just so they can get your attention. But it will really suck if you're the one jumping. But i guess there's not much anyone can do about it, its really a natural progression of a highly competitive society. Though i guess if you're stuck doing the jumping, its just a matter of time before u get really good at clearing heights.
