All About Branding

My mom told me, countless of times, that when I was growing up, I can only say certain words properly. Words would go topsy turvy and basically I needed a translator to relay my message across to my grandma or my aunties. The translator being my mom, of course! Ooh if only my mom had a video cameras or something, wouldn’t it be a hoot to watch it now!? But you know what, if you were to asked my Azwaj right now.. he would say, why would we need a video from then when you still speak topsy turvy right now just with an accent!! After those kind words, would it be strange if you heard him going “Ouch!” lolzz!

My MIL also had some interesting stories to tell us about Azwaj’s baby days. It seemed, even at a very young age, he was able to identify the different make of the cars. As his parents were driving, he would start shouting out the make of the different cars “Honda”, “Toyota”, “Mercedes”! When asked how he knew, because noone apparently was known to have taught him, he was heard saying “Just look at the car’s face mommy”… lol.. the power of Branding that even a three year old was able to identify the make of your car!

Oh well.. as for me, the power of branding have me calling all instant noodles, Maggie, all diapers as pampers, all bleaches as Clorox, all insectides as Baygon and last but definitely not least, all toothpaste as Colgate! That’s the power of branding for you!

My New Shades

I love our motorbike rides. It gets us to our destination at a much shorter time than driving and it is definitely cheaper! Although the rise in petrol prices means it now cost us RM12 to fill the motorbike to a full tank (it used to be only RM7!), it is still definitely much cheaper than to fill up the car which would probably cost like RM100 or something!

The only thing I have to say that would greatly improve my riding experience would be to get a new pair of glasses. Not just any glasses but those that has those clip-on shades. It gets so hot sometimes that I practically have to squint my eyes to keep the glare out. I don’t dare to close my eyes for fear of falling asleep and yes, it’s been known to happen because I can sleep anywhere !

Anyway, I found this great site that offers eye glasses at really economical prices. Imagine buying a pair of glasses at only $8! Yeap, you heard me. $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx Eyeglasses ! Crazy right? Well according to the site, the reason why they are able to offer such prices is because they only sell their own manufactured frames direct to the customer, with no middlemen. So who gains? We, the customer, of course!

So I’m eyeing a couple of designs that has this clip-on shades because you know I’m blind as a bat without my glasses right? This would let me sort of throw two birds with one stone. Not be blind and still have my stylish shades. . Yihaa!!
