tOm@kO's life ~*_*~

this morning was chatting with my friend and suddenly we went to the topic of cheap air ticket promotion by MAS then i asked my friend whether he go any plans to go overseas and he told me that his passport has expired for a year

then i ask him whether he know what's that he can actually renew his passport for RM 100 for two years and to my surprise he does not know about it.

well what should i say???
he really do not know about it
cos he just concern about the international news
i guess he is quitely seeking opportunities to go overseas for greener pasture just like many Malaysian who grew up here and choose to work else where :)

there are always money making opportunity out there. you just need to know when and where and also how to find it.

today happened to helped my friend to close a deal to sell his Coke Contour Glass (pink one). RM 9 for the glass cup. Where it initially was a free gift together with the MCD Coke Contour Glass meal. I would think this strategy of selling more food in exchange for a glass. is it worth while in the point of consumer?? does it result to wasting of food?? cos you do not need to eat so much but you want the glass so u ordered the coke contour glass meal?? anyway.. no matter how... MCD already WIN in their strategy.

so now my friend who is selling his cup is happy (of course happy) can recover part of his cost for eating MCD meal and my friend who is buying the cup is also happy. cos can complete her collection of Coke Contour Glass as she missed out the very first glass. So i guess this is call WIN-WIN situation…

in this transaction i also WIN… cos i’m the good middle person of the transaction ma

so in the conclusion... there are four parties which WIN
1)MCD
2)Buyer
3)Seller
4)Middle person

those were the days is one of the very first english song which my english teacher used to use it to teach us to learn english speaking
he loved to use singer to teach us how to speak fluently

cant believe it i can actually found a clip on youtube
it's amazing and great too

so.. those were the days
i think this song bring a lot of scene in my mind

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

as we grow older do we get wiser too??
maybe yes maybe know... through the experiece we have on the way we grew up
and somehow we maybe relectuant to change so we are still the same old person
