GroupsMore

Okay, so recently I'm having exams so I didn't do anything worth blogging about.

But this one sounds interesting so here I go! =P

Imagine this, you go to a fish market to buy some salmon. But because salmon is so expensive, you try to save cost by buying in bulk. 

But then you realise that if you buy too much, the last of it wouldn't be fresh or you might not even finish it. It would also defeat the purpose of saving cost as you are paying more in advance. However, regardless of the amount you purchase, the stall will continue to sell their fish at market price to the other customers.

So you figured that if you gather all the customers to buy as a group, all of you could enjoy the discounted price and only buy the portion you need. 

But if everyone does that, won't the owner suffer some losses?
The answer is yes, and no.

Yes, they would be losing in terms of profit due to the reduced price of their stock.

No, because they are also able to finish selling their current stock earlier and bring in new stock. 

In business terms, it means a higher turnover rate which is a good thing. Especially when it comes to products that can only be kept for a while before it loses its value. (such as meat and vegetables)

They would also gain in terms of permanent customers which means better business in the future!

It's a WIN-WIN situation!

So, a group of young people assembled themselves and created GroupsMore! It means buying in Groups to get More discounts! 
(or somewhere along those lines :p)



Every week, they'll come up with a new deal that they themselves would buy and share. That way, they'll know if others would do the same.



Since you'll only get the discount when you buy in groups, there is a minimum purchase before the deal is on. Once the target is reached within the given time period, the deal is automatically on. But if the target is not reached in time (which rarely happens), the buyers will be fully refunded within 7days.

Personally, I think their deals are the best and I myself have bought and shared many deals.


For example, I've bought and recommended the discount for ice-skating at Pyramid Ice (RM6). I referred it to my friend and she bought 20 of those for a club event!



Recently, I also bought the RM1 Gelare ice-cream voucher. Since it was only RM1, I was a little greedy and bought 30! =P


(Who wants to go e@Curve for ice-cream? On me! =D)




Deals I plan to buy:


Half price for futsal in very new and nice court! 
RM60/10=RM6/hr per person! =D




Huge burger for only RM12.50! =D




RM1 burger! That's cheaper than Ramlee burgers! =D



Worth every penny! Half price? Count me in!! =D

It's YOUR RIGHT to vote

Previously, as in before I registered as a voter, I was constantly nagged by my mum to register.

She'll go like "Eh, there's a booth in SS2 to register, go do it" or "Eh have you registered to vote yet?"

Being me, I felt that it was too troublesome to go all the way to SS2 just to register.

(Notice that I used "all the way" when it's only a 10-minute drive) =P

But on one fine day, while I was with friends, we walked past a registration booth and this time, my friend pestered me and his girlfriend to register.
Of course, he's already a registered voter. 

You know the feeling when you won't do something by yourself, but when you have friends doing it with you, you'll have no problem at all?

So I finally registered myself as a voter and hence, the purpose of this post.

Sure, you can say that you'll do it, but when it comes down to it, you're only waiting for someone who's done it or someone to do it with you. 

So I strongly suggest that you gather a few friends and register as a group. Then no one would feel awkward but rather, your other friends would feel the pressure to register as well. 

"How to know if I'm qualified to register as a voter?"

You...

1) are a Malaysian citizen

2) are aged 21 or above (after your 21st birthday)

3) live in an election area (basically any district, town or city)

"What do I bring when registering as a voter?"

You need to bring...

1) Yourself

2) Your Malaysian IC (Identification Card)
(or other official documents for that matter)

"Where do I go to register again?"

Just go to the nearest...

1) State Election Office
2) Post Office
3) Mobile Registration booths in public places

"Oh no! What's with all these forms?!"


It won't take you more than 5 minutes! =D

You only need to fill in the basic stuff like address, IC no., birthdate, etc.

"Now that I've done it, how do I know if I'm really registered?"


Check your registration status at:
CHECKING ELECTORAL ROLL

"Woohoo! I'm officially registered! What now?"

Malaysia's next General Election will be held in 2013 or before 2013.

Opportunities

... won't come knocking at your front door asking you to take it.

Even if it does, it's your choice whether to take it or not.

I believe I have found it because I was looking for it and I've decided to grab it.

Sidenote: Am I the only one who thinks that life's not worth living if it ain't lived in your own way?


Cheers
