VOTING IS COMPULSORY!!!

hehe i juz found the erm, friendly reminder to instill a sense of participation and involvement in voters a little erm, inspiring. yeah, inspiring, that’s it.

i’m losing my voice these few days, from too many tuition lessons. it’s the peak season for tuition classes, cos primary schools are having their exams. with two psle kids and one primary four streaming kid, you can imagine how nervous the parents are.

what i learnt in pricing was that we should maximise the earnings if possible. since demand is so great during the peak season (daily lessons for four consecutive days for one of the psle kids), and in order to cover the operational costs during non-peak seasons (school vacations), i should theoretically price my lessons based on the demand for them.

then weekends will be priced at premium prices, cos the opportunity costs are high, and cos demand is highest in the weekends. weekend morning lessons will bring in the highest rates per hour, cos it’s the weekend, and damn, it’s in the morning and i need to sleep, can? weekday afternoon classes will be priced lower than weekend classes, though higher than weekday night classes (non-existant for the time being) cos it ruins my plans for going shopping or getting anywhere. during the non-peak period, maybe i can do a “buy eight get one free!” promotion to encourage demand.

only then i would be able to buy a mini cooper sooner.

yeah right, i wish.
