Umbrella to shield from Financial fallout

The last few months of 2008 starting in September brought on the world's worst financial fallout due to credit loss of confidence in the whole and related banking sectors... from one thing to another... loss of motivation to trade, fear of poor and no return of investment. But human have a life to live and so will the event surrounding our immediate environs, be it family or work related. Recently, in December 2008, I had an opportunity to supply umbrella as a premium gift to an organisation for their anniversary day. I was to supply 500 pcs of umbrella with 2 colors and 2 logo thrown in. I got the contract and as a result, I got to work with an umbrella factory and I now represent them to those looking for an umbrella gift to shield one from the financial meltdown... it is a good omen.. call it a old luck charm where our forefather designed one to deter the natural sun ray and rainfall. So, it is a practical gift to your client although it may sounds an old idea as a give-away.

I can offer a minimum of about 250 pcs at S$5.50 each with 1 color printing and l logo design... printed on 2 panels, a 23inches hook handle... a choice of sun blocking basic cloth.

Not and many can offer such low quantity at this hypermarket price... Think on it... Use this as a premium gift this year.

Strumming of guitars on Christmas day

On this Christmas Day of 2008, may I came back from a long break to bring you a series of hand-made wooden guitars mini replicas.

There will be fan of guitar and collectors of such articles just as my Javanese acquaintance have requested me to put up a sale of these replicas whom his father had been making as a living in the legendary island of Bali. He also handmade cello and violin of different sizes.

How much should I be selling them for??? The courier charges came to quite an amount above the price of these pieces. So, after balancing the courier charges, these could found owner

who are willing to pay S$12.00 for each piece of this handmade item.

They are on the average of 22cm length and does stand well on your display cabinet if you are a music lover.

I am having him to draw or print logos on the cello and violin so that the music school could give them out as gift to their graduates or as corporate gift. Let me know if you have requirement of these...

Mini fans to the rescue on stuffy environ

It is a familiar scene under the humid sun, in a crowded gathering where we have to fan ourselves... we make do with the book, the leaflet, and even our bare palm to stoke

the little wind produced to cool our self.

Blamed it on global warming or the tropical that we lived in... Life have to go on under the sun. Inventions made with the electric fan, the air cooler and our air conditioner unit. It is another cycle of heat air being produced due to the machine generating the coolness... a cycle.

To add to these heat, I have a dry cell battery mini fan here who may make life simple for the man here, as the mini electric motor produces wind just enough to cool one's immediate environ, instead of manually fanning oneself. These can be

used to give away for events of mass participation... or you expect the crowd to make use of it at the event itself if it will to be held outdoor. Simple device but practical gift away. It costs S$1.00/each not including the battery. Some organisation even made a transparent sticker with their name on it to be pasted on. In the name of publicity, this fan worked! But... think of the carbon footprints this fan produces...

Graduate for sale... in persona bear

What a day and what a picture here of graduates convocation. They ended their course of pursuit for that degree paper and begin another course of career for wages, fame, cause, politics and so forth. An interesting article in the Straits Times paper today that most graduates in Singapore do not contribute to their Alumni for they do not identify with it... thus not a emotional bond as yet. Nonetheless, what are these bear graduates for ? Whatever stuff these human graduates have with their Alma Mater is for their personal soul to sort out. These cutie 10cm tall bear are meant as a add-on gift with the certificate which some training institutes, learning centre, school are giving away to their students who passed out from their school. A symbolic act that you have muddle through their courses with your eyes closed like these bears - they are teasing you that you have done it.

A graduate comes to me and I sell her one at S$3.00/each. The school ordered 500 pieces and they paid me in a cheque of S$1000/nett. Simple mathematics, right? graduate.
