Friends Provident...

I entered a marketing competition organised by this company called friends provident(top 100 companies in the UK) together with our business school..(Woot!!).


yeah yeah.. i know all of you would be wondering right now.. Eddie.. business school competition.. just doesnt add up.. but yeah.. i did..


We had our presentation today.. the challenge was to market friends provident(insurance company) towards younger audiences.. just about as impossible as it gets.. come on man.. why would young ppl wanna think about insurance.. they just started work and have to pay off all their debts. they hardly have enuff money rite now and why would they think of insurance...


Rather impractical but a challenge is a challenge... My group stayed up last nite till 1am in the morning just fixing the presentation (the competition has been runnin for the past 6 weeks but we needed finishing touches to be done yesterday) Shit thing is we started the meeting at 4pm.. non stop till 1. so much efford...


The presentation went on today.. we thought we did quite well but we did not make it to the final 2. We were not that far off as we were in 3rd place.. so yeah.. we got a bottle of wine each .. some chocolates and some diary folder thing by by friends provident.. We also won the prize for having the most innovative idea.. guess whos idea it was.. who who who.. MMEEEEEEE!!!!


so yeah man.. i got brains.. i got brains!!!


On another note.. went to see the doctor yesterday about my finger and he said it is going well. it is healing and in 2 or 3 weeks time i will gain full functionality of my finger again.. problem is.. my knuckle will never be in place anymore.. it will always be a bit dropped when i try to clench my fist.. just like the photos you can see in my earlier post.. so much for me being a hand model..


Also.. one last final note.. guess what.. i have got the weirdest email today.. weirdest.. i was shocked to get an email like that.... Enlarge the photo below and you will know why...


ps.. i swear the guy is gonna hate the shit out of me.. but yeah.. its nothing wrong. i find it interesting.. yet weird...hmmm
