Funny extract from a customer's blog

These are REALLY 2 funny scenarios that always happens to Jrock fans. Saw it at our customer, Serene's blog awhile ago.

*************************************************************************************
Below is just a short summary of what i wanted to type, so it's not long rantings after all :D

Please don't be a irritator.

Person A : (insert bishie name) very COOL leh, BOY OR GIRL ah?
ME : It's a guy.
Person A : You sure not? Look like girl leh! If boy why they wear make up ah?
ME : -irritated,shows black face and walks off-

Typical xiao mei mei (aka XMMs) :

Talk like this : (insert band name) rawkxx w0rx/nehhs!
Listen to : Cassis. (i seriously think this is the only song they know)
Make up : Thick black eyeliner, fake eyelashes, lots of foundation/concealer/whitener :p (ends up having a contradicting face)
Wears : Something frilly and it becomes 'lolita' -.- ''Wahhx, ii sh0 jaPpiiEx! darrdarrx, ii prettiie mahx?''

Still got one more day before the release of the X-Japan concert tickets results!~ XD. Was browsing the net searching for some hotel information. Came across Apartment rentals, hostel rentals. These are for monthly bookings..wah, it wld be great if VS can be based in Japan. But den, poor Sporean customers..they would have to pay for shipping like our our Overseas customers XD. Think ALOT of them will run away...oh well...perhaps they would value us more after we are gone?! Remembered a comment about a girl who made at sgcafe or batsu (cant remember). She said "it is so nice to be in the same country as VS".

Seriously, renting of monthly apartments is cheaper than hotels...about US$1300/mth and it come with all facilities. So tempted,,,lolz...

For the lost SGD$500+ tat the A9 customer absconded with,,didnt think about it for a few days. Dont want to feel dragged down by it. Come to think of it,,perhaps, it is puo qian xiao zai? After this incident, good things are coming soon (my X tickets, wat else? haha)!~ And also the Year of Rat is arriving next week. My mum said the Year of Rat is not a good year..i also dont know why. Havent checked out those Chinese horoscopes thingy...

Checked The Secret dvds at ebay..they have sooo many versions. Im interested in the Extended version. Strange thing is, at ebay, some are selling at US$9.99 but at amazon.com, it is US$20++. So, im not sure which one to buy., The ebay one dun have any item code for me to tally it with the amazon version. i scared it is pirated one or something..haiz,,will dig into this more when i have the time.

Sold the Gem cerey Group poster. The girl actually would pay S$48 for it... kinda surprise. And yes, she is an European.

Now, only Euro and Pound counts..not US$ or Yen. Today read tat Inflation affects the Japanese too. They are on the way to walk out of their economic slumps and now, are facing inflation (rising fuel and food prices). With their rapidly aging population, it makes the matter worse. Their pension fund is in a mess (for those who arent sure wat happened to their pension funds, their old Government (Koizumi era) did not keep track of it at all. Some are documented by hands and some are documented into computer system. It was made public when his successor, (forget his name) took over the office) and they have little young population to support the massive older folks. One of my Japanese fren is so smart. He actually build his pension plan himself and not relying on his government. He said "we have little young generation. so when i am old, they cannot support me, so it build it myself now". He is very heavy on investments/stocks and property. I once asked him to help me invest US$500 in watever he was investing but he declined, citing "I cant afford this responsibility"..haiz..

Oh yes, ive found out something that many ppl are interested about the Japanese market. Why their homemade goods are sooo pricey. It is because their government is very protective of domestic markets. Due to this, whatever price the maker wants to sell to the market, the government would allow coz the government dont want competition from abroad to make their own ppl jobless. Their simple theory is: to protect some batch of employees welfare at the expense of the whole population. I knew this from reading Jim Roger's Adventure Capitalist. He's an interesting author/investor. He travels around the whole and citing realistic issues about each country. He said Russia is controlled by the Mafias (made us worried about dealings with Russian customers,,lolz), not ideal to invest Korea coz they have gender inequality (more men, less women, China also like that) which would create social imbalance for years to come (then isnt China worst? but still tonnes of ppl rushing to invest there. Havent figured this out..but i think coz they have vast population to sustain their economy?), Japan is not foreigner friendly. He said their ATM machines for visas and mastercards CANNOT accept foreign registered cards. That is exactly what i encountered a fews years back, and it is in Shibuya ok! Super strange rite? (protective Government??!). Had to go into the bank to change SGD$ to Yen. The teller never seen Spore currency before, so she went to dig out a big file of worldwide currencies and finally spotted our currency, which the file even has the super old Orchid notes! Weird country they are. So, now you know why their Melons, Apples, Breads, Instant noodles etc are soo expensive.

Lessons on Japan ends here,,will update if i know more,,XD Hope ur enjoy the "class" today.

Christine, thanks for leaving the comments always. Hope you are not overly busy today with class. Have proper meals and adequate rest pls~~
