First Meetup for Facebook Assignment Costs $6! WT*!
OK, so I went to NUS to meet with my FB Assignment group and parking my car outside COM1 costs me a whopping $6! This is serious daylight robbery. So where should I park? I’m not exactly familiar with NUS and am probably more suaku than the year 1s.
I think my team has a good mix. We have a business guy, an electrical engineer, two partially geeky students (I didn’t make this up – they told me) and one kaypoh (busybody – that’s me). So “good” a mix maybe I’m getting a bit stressed out that we might be technically lacking. But don’t worry. I have faith in you guys. 
As a consolation, let me say something. Ugly (probably) sells. Yes, the crappiest, ugliest of all things usually sells well. Don’t ask me why. Here’s my observations.
- Google is ugly, but we use it over Yahoo or Bing.
- Gmail is ugly as hell, but we rather use it over Hotmail. (Sidenote: I’ll give some credit to Yahoo mail here.)
- Ebay ain’t the prettiest of all sites around, but heck it sells like mad.
- Facebook is kinda ugly and doesn’t allow me to customize a hideous pink background like Friendster, but it is the most hit site on the Internet today (don’t ask me why I know, I’m not supposed to tell, but I am certain of this fact).
- Most blogshops are ugly as hell. If you think they look nice, you need to see doctor. But the funny part? They sell too!
So here’s my takeaway point. Ugly (probably) sells.

Look what the postman brought over the weekend in a very nicely wrapped package. No tapes, just ropes. Neat!
