"Marketing Brings the Money In"

I am watching Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein's MasterClass Teach Advertising and Creativity. It is very interesting. These seem like very cool people. I will work on this constantly.

12:30 a.m.

Lal uncle taught me that marketing brings the money in.

He is like my dad, he is my dad's brother.

My G-d will do what is best for us all. I will pray for him, and Deepa aunty.

I do not care about money. I will not kill for money. If he wants to steal, he can steal, let G-d judge.

I do not carry any hate in my heart. I do not hate anyone.

I do not hate ███████ or any Muslims.

I am happy Shami D Perera who I forgot, but had interviewed many months ago, added me on FB.

I also added Major General (Retired) Rohan Anil Kaduwela, from KPMG Tech, who took me to see Amal Illesinghe, the CIO at NSB bank.

Terance Cambel Francis, a Tamil gentleman who helped my firm also added me on FB.

Tharaka Kelumsiri Sandaruwan, the former purchasing manager at Alpex Marine, who got me my laser printer, he also connected with me on FB.

I removed a few people, I do not remember or know.

1:15 a.m.

I am learning about the fascinating Got Milk advertising campaign that was successful. This Advertising MasterClass is absolutely fantastic, really insightful.

It has inspired new ideas.

I feel sleepy. I will sleep soon. I also had an almond flavoured Elephant House cone ice cream, which was not so nice, I did not enjoy it.

Humor:

I was thinking, a lot of people idolize me. They all copy me. I remember I smoked Parliament Cigarettes which Charlie Sheen advertised. I loved the hollow tips. It felt good.

I showed my Parliament Cigarettes to Sean Samarasinghe, Mahinda Samarasinghe's son, he also started smoking it.

Then Sean has shown this to cousin Wagisha's husband Iruka Dedigama. Iruka also started to say that he "started smoking Parliament Cigarettes".

He always offers me now.

Ridiculous.

I bought Chanel No. 5 perfume. Everyone else buys Eau de Toilette or Eau de Perfume. I buy the expensive perfume. I pay like upwards of 100 GBP sterling for it.

It is like a man's lingerie, you feel sexy.

Everyone just copied me.

Everyone.

They asked, "what is that perfume Lehan?"

Then they all started buying it.

It is insane.

1:30 a.m.

I went and checked my perfume bottle. It is not Chanel No. 5. It is Chanel de Bleu Eau de Parfum*.

I was going to get Parfum, but then I realised I am stingy, so I skimped. Or Parfum was not available.

I still got it. I saw it was ranked No. 1 for men, so I got it.

I understand imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It is fine. It is also incredibly crazy. They all copy me.

Sean and Iruka are terrible, G-d awful, G-d awful.

I also happened to find Sharma uncle's Cartier Gold Tipped Cigarettes. I started that too. They all copy me.

It is f***ing crazy.

Koshi asked me to get him some cigarettes from Duty Free Heathrow or Changi, I cannot remember what brand, but it was special.

I never steal other people's ideas. I always accredit people duly. I am not like Sean or Iruka.

12:30 p.m.

I just woke up. It is freezing cold in my room. I turned off the air conditioning.

I am thinking.

I was thinking, *the Cyberspace Command advertising campaign needs to be cool.

It should be about how prospects are "connected", or "part of SL" or some form of elitist cabal by partnering us.

I dunno. Maybe we can try to focus on how we have political power which the other IT companies just do not have.

We can claim it is important to cooperate with national leaders for cyber security.

We can say that "cyber is a two sided coin, the other side being state actor based espionage (Denzil Perera)".

12:45 p.m.

We will definitely say, "it is a bad idea and utterly unacceptable to let just about anyone and everyone or everybody do cyber security.

Only a trusted few people, with public reputations for patriotism should be allowed to do this kind of thing".

I wonder if we can give Jit Warnakulasuriya the Huawei deal and get the cyber security components.

In terms of Who Are We deal, it is possible, though I have virtually no contacts in China, to use Martinn Teng uncle as he is a Chinese and the local political firepower.

People gotta make a Netflix series about us or something, about myself. It is like Narcos with Pablo Escobar how we get our deals signed.

I remember Thilanga Sumathipala uncle complained to Mahinda Rajapaksa that Lal Edirisinghe is an advisor to Ranil Wickramasinghe. Mahinda angrily confronted Lal.

*I deleted an entry made at this time. Instead, I have made observations on what was originally written as follows*

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I make comments on BLM.

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

There are fears shared.

There are more fears shared regarding a former employee who happens to be friends with people who hate my family.

8:45 p.m.

*Observations continue*

I do not wish to describe what is written. It is suspicion.

It is written Pastor Jerome Fernando in King's Revival Church is channelling spiritual energy, though he did make great commercials for EGB root beer once.

Comments are made on Kumar Sangakkara at a Bible Study at KRC in the Jayamaha house.

My religious beliefs are explained.

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

It is written that I plan to save my family.

11:00 p.m.

I should have tried to meet Nat Rothschild to try and get some cables for our data centre for a bit cheaper. The best time to buy those are when you know the deal makers are in town. I can speak to Ken Soh and Patrick Lim, COO, at BH Global SGX. But there is still time. I can help Jacob's son with some areas. I am not sure if the cables we need can be made by BH. I saw that they do uni directional cables for cyber.

11:45 p.m.

I wrote some thoughts on religion. I deleted these because I am not sure. I have to think about it some more. I write interesting things, sometimes I delete them because I later decide that it is not good enough. I should not stress out on this cables stuff either. There are solutions. Ken Soh knows all the big guys in Israel too. He knows the top guys.

I think that PR wise, there are more important things to focus on. I am sure there are things to do. This MasterClass by Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein is terrific. I should share this series with my cousins Chadu and Udhantha. They will like it. Cousin Chadu was the one who taught me how to hack at a young age, he showed me a P2P software called Ares. It was similar to Limewire which was popular back then.

12:45 a.m.

Ken got the deals for the PM's office in Israel and in Singapore and MOD/ MOF. *I wrote some insights, these were deleted*
