Water bomb

almost hit by a water bomb at the foot of a block near by house . it was such a close shave... must be those kids who are having school holidays now. im always lucky ,,lolz...

finally bought 2 book shelves to stuffs my barangs,,bye bye mini mountains!~ its arriving on wed, walnut colour.

cant wait to see the latest gaze tour pamphlet!!~ saw it at ebay today,,so nice the pics!! but sooo ex!~ im curious about the 08 organiser too,,like a bit plain...

went to a polyclinic to search for a specific brand of acne patch but they dont seem to carry it anymore. overheard the cashiers chatting among themselves regarding the recent Dragon boat mishap by the Spore team in Cambodia. One Aunty 1 was saying "wah, life is so short, go for a competition overseas n never come home liao!~" Aunty 2 "ya lor, life is so short, so wat ur want to do now, must faster go n do, if not, wait suddenly die le,,will die with regrets!". So, if there are no such mishaps, these aunties (and all of us) wont think this way. It reminds me of wat i want to do now,,go to Cologne, Michael's house, relax and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wake up and see nature just outside, go to the forest to pick blueberries and cherries (but not now, it is winter). hahaha ^^

Malta?

Seems like donkey years i didnt blog (actually it is 11days lah). There's some renovation and repainting works going on in my house. It's done now but my stuffs are still in cartons. Ive thrown away alot of unwanted stuffs and cabinets..so, going to buy new cabinets next week.

Moved to my brother's house from last Wed till Friday. Home on Sat morning, went for a meet up in the afternoon n come home to slack..lolz. My sister in law is having some trouble at work with her colleagues. She is kinda going thru a "transformation" time. She said "everyday i go to work, i wonder why am i spending my precious time helping ppl build their business?". She goes to work each day at 7am and knock off at 5pm. She felt empty and believe there must be more to life. Her colleagues told her "pls lah, we need the salary for daily expenses. If dun work, no income for daily expenses". She felt her colleagues are so mediocore. She dont want to "work-home-play-work-home-play" for the next 3oyrs of her life!~ Her dream? To be a hawker!! Im so surprised. She hope to rent a stall and sell food. My brother likes this idea too (coz my bro can cook). Both of them are exploring into this.

World's best financial calculator (posted at fundsupermart.com by a senior forum member some time ago.)
http://www.dinkytown.net/

You wont know the power of Compound Interest until you see the end figures!~ (under Savings). I enjoyed the Retirement and Savings calculators. It's such an eye opener! Time = Money.

Moral of this: Save early and save as much as you can while time is at your side!! Time will help you grow your pot of gold for retirement at a breeze. ^^

Oh yes, yday someone from Malta won gaze's ltd picks at vs ebay. Malta? I dont know where is this country so i Goggled. Here it is: http://www.malta-map.com/

Such an ulu country,,,gaze so famous till the Mediterranean Islands,,hard to imagine!~ Thanks to the Internet!!~ ^^

Last Monday Michael came and brought me his mum's homemade jams (strawberry and yellow prune flavour) and chocolates as Christmas presents. Too tired to take pics of it. Yong min packed some lovely smurf figurines for me..i love smurfs,,*muach* Hope to visit Michael at Col0gne real soon!~~

Going to read newspaper now,,yday's havent read yet!~

Obscene bandana + Obscene ebayer = hair raising day!

Received this item in today's shipment,,wah seh! it was the long awaited bandana. always saw it bidding so high at ebay,didnt know we will be receiving it. da cost price..gosh,,Obscene! (in Bishounen's term!~) Luckily a French gal bought it within 30mins after we had posted,phew!~

For the Obscene ebayer, she kept bidding our Gaze's 08 cal, which we list for advertising purpose. The start price is $0.01 and after deleating her bids for 2 days in a row and emailing her NOT to bid, she bid again today, for the 3rd time! OMG! Perhaps she dun understand my Engrish? So, today i had no choice but the ban all her bids... i will pull my hair out if i see her bid tml,,hope the ebay system works!! @.@"

Goodies fm Osaka!~ ^^ Thanks to OS!~ Fresh red bean omochi, with pieces of big red beans instead of red bean paste. Totemo @@iishi, ate 2 just now!~ ^^ Banana flavoured Hi-Chew candy..such a clear cut packaging.

The black & white chocolate balls are soo cute..will give it to the 2 "twin" A9 gals. Tml will ship their package. Even their payment style is the same. They will both say "ok, will pay soon!" And their payment will arrive within 24hrs. Korean American gal is abit blur and kept asking "what did i order and how much do i need to pay now?". lolz..both of them are are soo funny.

Today sold a set of 1st series of gaze picks to someone from Hungary! A gal from Switzerland ordered their cal too~Gaze is showing some good results from their Euro tour!~

"OMG! It's my fav Gaze and A9!!!" She rushes to jrock goods whenever stocks arrives. She is very fearful of Hide's plushies!!! XD

Care bear tee and pencase..pencase is mine and tee is for my sister as xmas gift. It's so cute!!

The Perfume

I can return the perfume to the maker!~ Im so happy..BUT when i went to the post office to mail, it was denied!~ We cannot send perfume overseas! Gosh,,it is back to square one!~ Has to keep that perfume in the end...to think i was overjoyed that i can return it!~ Sigh..

Realised there's 2 identical customer. One is Brunei Chinese in Australia and another is Korean American. They are very identical coz both like A9 and also accessories. They first bought fm VS around similar time and each time, both ordered similar things and send their emails almost at the same timing ..so whenever i saw their mails, i have to double check their orders just in case i mix them up. Once i mis-send a Nightmare guitar pick instead of Gazette's guitar pick. Luckily, the customer from the Netherlands is our regular and she dont mind sending it back. Another time was a wrong mag to Australia. The nice customer mailed it back too..phew..blunders here and there (*-*")

Finally can sleep early tonight. it's almost 1am now.

Spotted this from a personal blog some weeks ago. Very meaningful.

An Interesting Incident

Today was in a bus where i witnessed an interesting incident. My bus was waiting for the green light and nearby the bus was a zebra crossing. A Blangadesh was waiting to cross the zebra crossing but the upcoming black Mercedes (chinese driver in the car has M'sia car plate) didnt stop. Next came a old small yellow Honda (Caucasian driver in Spore car plate) and he stop and let the Blangadesh guy crossed. Moral of the story? Either it has something to do with the type of car or the Race... ... ...

Found out the Sembawang Library does not have a copier. I thought all libraries would be equiped with one!~ Was waiting for a friend who was late, so pop by the library and saw something interesting that i would like to photocopy. Was searching for the copier room and it turned out they dont have a copier, let alone a room for it!~ It's my big discovery of the day~

Received enquiries from 2 new countries today. It's Croatia and Saudi Arabia. Both are Gaze fans. The strangest country is still Kuwait (A9 fan). It never crossed my mind that there are Vkei fans in these countries. What a beautiful world!~

This evening's news reports that Singaporeans have no idea how much they need for their retirement and thought they could just withdraw from their CPF after they retire... well, its the "entitlement mentality/disease". We are too comfortable here and "assumes" the Government will take care of us after we retire... I think our Government will have a hard time shaking off such "mentality" coz we are tooo used to our Government "holding our hands", esp during crisis times.

Food For Thought:

Money, like health, if you do not take care of it when you are young, it will not take care of you when you are old.

GOOD - CHEAP - FAST

Im so sleepy today,,,,,coz i slept only 5 hrs last nite. was busy uploading and packing till 3am. Saw a Jpop customer at Somerset today and realised havent replied her enquiry since Monday! Gosh, so i immediately replied her when i came home..lapse in service here m(__)m

VS's counter ticker hits 88888 at 9.48pm today!~ Happen to see this Magic Number when checking the site for some item codes. It was such an auspicious number!~ ^^V

Bao Bei (my dog) & my fruits

"hmm,,this looks delicious"

"Wld you like to have some?"

"errr,,, dont think soooo, i think my honey drink is better!"

Lovely Autumn leaves from Osaka!~ ^^ Thanks to OS!~ Will keep them as dried leaves.

A particular leaf with cicada shell. The cicada shell is 3.5cm. I dont know what is cicada until our supplier explains. He said they are loud but harmless. Michael too, mentioned about cicada when we were heard loud cicada noises among some trees outside Somerset mrt 2 months back. Err, well, to me, insect is a guy's thing!~

A Sumptuous Dinner

Today is public holiday (Deepavali - Indian's New year), so my mum brewed a big pot of Chinese Herbal Chicken Soap for dinner ^_^ *yummy* Other dishes includes stir fry broccoli, char siew spare ribs and meat. Im bias,,so only took picture of the soup,,lolz...

Had a nice chat with Bishounen over msn this afternoon. He was appalled and disappointed to discover his Japanese friend was telling spuns of lies and also living a "double life" online all these while. He must have been hurt.. Bishounen is still very young (19 y/o), this incident was really an"eye opener" for him on how dishonest people can be, irregardless of race.. (his little heart was really hurt coz he trust and talks alot about this friend.) Lucikly, Bishounen still has Michelle, Shin, Cockroach + her sister around him.

Had cheddar cheese with sour cream's potato chips for lunch today, plus a bowl of green bean soup. Next Tuesday gotta jog harder,,hahaha.

Saw this interesting quote from Dr. Mel Gil's "Uncommon Sense" that im in the midst of reading.

YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON

Who will you be in the next 5 years depends on 3 things:

the books you read

the people you meet

the choices you make

Choose today to live a transformed life!

I am most happiest about the people ive met/known online for the past 2 years. You have been such a wonderful blessing in my life. Thank You! ^^

2 Milestones today/ Jack ma

Achieved 2 small milestones today *pat on the back*

1. 1 month "anniversary" of jogging once a week~(since 7th Oct 2007). It's been at least 5 years since i did a proper jogging. At most, it was only cycling at East coast park or Pulau Ubin. Since both locations are too far from my house, so i thought jogging would be the next thing to cycling. (And on top of that, i used to be a long distance runner in High School days!~) Jogging is my forte and im merely resuming it. My legs are firmer and slimmer now. For the sake of beauty, I will continue to jog.

2. Finally finish setting up this personal blog. " I bought a ticket to the other side of the Rainbow" was a line from a song (not sure of the title) by the New Radicals ive heard over the radio this afternoon. It was such a fun verse. Upon finishing, realised this theme matches well with the Monchhichi mascot. Monchhichi is sooo cute!!

Last night watched the news on Alibaba.com's succesful IPO launched in Hong Kong. When reporters interviewed its founder, Jack Ma (Ma Yun) what is the secrets of his success. He replied "I was poor and was IT illiterate". He added " One can be poor but one cannot have no goal(s) in life". He must have kept this goal of becoming a Billionaire so close to his heart that his dream was finally crystalised on 6th Novemeber 2007.

It reminds me of what author Robert Kiyosaki said in his Rich Dad, Poor Dad book. "Money is an Idea". Jack Ma is the latest example. Some other examples are fellas at Youtube, Facebook and the most recent one from whateverlife.com (the 17 year old girl who became a millionaire). *starts searching for my ideas :)*

Enjoy this great inspiring clip :
